[belated post] Wed lunch Bible study W2033, upcoming conferences, and more
Dear Public Health Christian Fellowship,
Brr! Hope you are all warm and well, despite the ice and slush outside! Here's a passage to meditate on this morning: Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. (Heb 10:19-25) Dear ones, praying this morning that you remember the confession of your hope - this God-man Jesus - and that you cling tight to him, not through your own strength and willpower but resting in his grace. (And a song!)
PHCF events this week: Wed Feb 13, 12noon, Room W2033 - Travis Roberts will lead us in Bible Study on The Way of Christ: John 13:1-14:31. There probably will be dessert. Bring your own Bible and lunch!
PHCF whatsapp group: we've created a whatsapp group for easier communication/support/sharing/
If you have prayers, reflections, songs, or announcements you'd like to share with the rest of PHCF (or individual questions/comments for the PHCF leaders), please email jhsph.phcf@gmail.com!
Grace and peace,
Teresa - for PHCF

3. Job opportunityWheaton College seeking an assistant professor in epidemiology - Note: while the position reads to be focused on epidemiology, we are searching broadly in public health.
4. Ethnos Baltimore Conference - March 23, 2019Join the fourth annual Ethnos conference - Sat March 23, 9am-4pm, at Central Presbyterian Church (7308 York Rd, Towson, MD). This year's theme is Justice as Mission: At its heart, the Ethnos Conference has always been about the mission of God. As God’s people follow Jesus into the world, how does the pursuit, proclamation, and expression of justice equip and empower the Church to represent God to a broken world? Eugene Cho, Nikki Lerner, and many other dynamic speakers will guide us through the hopeful pursuit of God’s justice in the ministry of reconciliation. Read more details and register here. ($25 registration fee)
5. Christian Global Health Conference Conference 2019 - June 6-8, 2019The Christian Connections for International Health conference will be held June 6-8, 2019 at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. It's a unique opportunity for students to meet and network with global health professionals from across the globe. Our theme is Called to Care: A Strong Community for Lasting Health. Promo video here. At our core, faith communities are called to care for themselves and those in need. Paul’s letter in Philippians 2:3-4 urges us to “do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.”
We will explore questions such as:
How are faith-based organizations integrating faith and work in the field?
How do we build capacity of local caring communities and organizations?
How can faith-based organizations incorporate design that considers the human perspective in all steps of development and problem solving?
Are faith-based programs themselves resilient and innovative?
Are we working with other faith-based organizations, churches, government agencies, NGOs, and others to ensure our communities are self-sufficient?
