The Public Health Christian Fellowship at JHSPH

Dear Public Health Christian Fellowship, In the last Psalm of Asaph, he cries out:  O God, do not remain silent; do not turn a deaf ear, do not stand aloof, O God.  (Ps 83:1). Dear ones, in the midst of personal busy-ness (so common at this time of year, balancing interpersonal expectations with school/work deliverables) and in a broken world, our hearts cry out for God to make himself known. Will you take hope today that he has heard the prayers of his people, and that he has sent his very son Jesus - our Emmanuel, our God with us? Praying that God grows your faith and your longing for him, and gives you strength enough for what he has given you to do today and bright hope for tomorrow.  Here's a song to rest and meditate on.  (Today's note is adapted from  The Common Rule, Advent Edition ) This week's events in the SPH: Wednesday 12noon,   Room W2033.  Room open for people to fellowship and pray; no structured meeting. There will be dessert :) T...

Dear Public Health Christian Fellowship, Isaiah writes,  The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness, a light has dawned.  Dear ones, we will never understand how good the light is until we admit that darkness is real and that we live in it. That Jesus has come to redeem us is not such good news until we see what bad news it is to be without him. In the midst of exams, papers, projects, and events, we pray for that you have space enough to cultivate a heart that longs for the light and life that Jesus brings.  Here's a song to rest and meditate on.  (Today's note comes from  The Common Rule, Advent Edition ) This week's events in the SPH: Wednesday 12noon,   Room W2033.  Room open for people to meet and pray; no structured meeting. Thursday 12noon John Bible study, Room W9514 . See point 3 below. Saturday 6pm, Potluck dinner and movie at Teresa's house.  Please see more details, RSVP, ...
