Dear PHCF, Welcome (officially) to the new school year! This summer has blown by... and we are so thankful for the many friends we've made among the new MPH students at the School of Public Health and others from schools/campuses beyond the SPH. Many thanks to those who joined us for prayer this last week/end; all glory to our God who delights in bringing people together - and in supplying us the joy we need and desire in him! Please continue to pray that we n ot neglect to meet together but rather keep on encouraging one another , and that God has his way among us at JHSPH this year.

A message from one of the members of the JHU Graduate Christian Fellowship: One of my friends is putting together a webinar series about faith and work, from a religious women's perspective. I thought it might be of interest to some of you. If so, see below! "Lean In to Your Faith" Series Morning! I wanted to share information on an upcoming online webinar series that my organization is launching in August.

On August 17th at 1 PM EST, my mentor, Dr. Margaret Weber is kicking off the series with a presentation on “The Power of Prayer & Meditation: Utilizing Faith as a Tool for Work/Life Balance.” I would love for Advent-ers to join us for the session!
