Wed lunch mtg W2033 (bible study), fall hiking trip, GMHC, prayers, and more!
Dear PHCF,
Peter declares in Acts 4:11-12 - “This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone. And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” As we pray over our country and Las Vegas, may your knowledge of Jesus our cornerstone and salvation prompt you to be his hands and feet in your studies and work.
Tomorrow, we meet in room W2033 in the SPH at 12:15pm - Jess will lead us in a Bible study of Luke 5:1-11 from the Flourishing in Grad School study. There will be apple cake to celebrate the coming of fall - Come for a sweet time of prayer and fellowship!
You are welcome to join us at any/all of our recurring gatherings:
- Lunch meetings on Wednesdays at 12:15pm in Room W2033 (contact PHCF)
- Small group on Mondays at 7:30pm in the 929 Apartments (contact Esther)
- Writing Accountability Group (i.e. study group) on Fridays at 4pm (contact Teresa)
