The Public Health Christian Fellowship at JHSPH

Dear Public Health Christian Fellowship, James writes in his letter to the dispersed church,  Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.  (Ja 1:17) Thankful for a God who is immutable, unchanging, steadfast, constant - and a very generous giver of good and perfect gifts. Praying that today we can have our eyes open to see how he is working in and through and around us, especially as second term begins.

Dear Public Health Christian Fellowship, Isaiah writes,  From of old no one has heard or perceived by the ear, no eye has seen a God besides you, who acts for those who wait for him  (64:4). Dear ones, praying that as you finish out first term with its final exams and projects and papers or work on research projects or grant applications or anything else set before you, you remember that the Lord your God is with you wherever you go, faithful to complete the good work he has started in you, for your good and his glory. May he - and he alone - be your strength and your song! Tomorrow  (Tues Oct 22),  Room W3031  will be open for prayer or lunch or fellowship; unstructured time to be with each other before the Lord.

Dear Public Health Christian Fellowship, Asaph ends Psalm 73,  But for me it is good to be near God; I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, that I may tell of all your works.  Dear ones, in the midst of much hubbub (projects, research, writing assignments, events, community programs, meetings galore), it is good to be still before the Lord and remember who he is and what he has done, what he is doing, and will continue to do until he brings his work to completion. Praying that you experience his closeness and goodness as you draw near to him. Will you choose to rest in him as your refuge today? Tomorrow  (Oct 15) at  12:15pm  in  Room W3031 , please join us for fellowship. We'll do a Bible study on "Flourishing in Graduate School", looking at Exodus 16. Bring your own lunch; we'll have chocolate chip cookies for dessert! Other event announcements: The  International Fellowship  meets Fridays 7pm in the PCTB Green House Cafe for dinner and Bib...

Dear Public Health Christian Fellowship, Asaph the psalmist encouraged the Israelites that - in a world where injustice, strife, and all sorts of brokenness ran rampant - God "will judge with equity" (Ps 75:2). "For not from the east or from the west and not from the wilderness comes lifting up, but it is God who executes judgment, putting down one and lifting up another" (v6-7). Dear ones, do not be dismayed or discouraged - but take heart and hold onto hope: our God is at work, he desires to work in and through you for the good of this world and for his glory, and he will finish what he has started. Will you trust him, and will you step with courage into whatever he is preparing for you? Tomorrow  (Oct 8) at  12:15pm  in  Room W3031 , please join us for fellowship. We'll do a Bible study on "Flourishing in Graduate School", looking at Mark 1:21-39. Bring your own lunch; we'll have apple cake for dessert (made from fresh-picked apples  )! Other ev...
