Today 12:15pm W3031 Social, Thanksgiving celebration, and more!

Dear Public Health Christian Fellowship,

Jesus says in John 15:5, “I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing." Dear ones, praying this morning that you learn to be still and abide in the Lord, knowing that only through the work of the Holy Spirit in you can you do any good. So thankful for how he has chosen each of you before the foundation of the world and how he promises that what he has started, he will bring to completion in the day of the Lord Jesus Christ. As you go about your work/studies/projects/research/events today, may you experience peace because he goes with you.

Today (Tues Nov 5), join us at 12:15pm in Room W3031 for a special fellowship/social time - bring your own lunch or snacks to share; we'll share, play games, get to know each other better, and pray for one another. (Thanks Joseph for the suggestion!)

Biostatisticians: For those of you looking into a biostats career... a PHCF alumnus (Sherlly Xie) wanted to share that the American Statistical Association (ASA:statisticians::APHA:MPHers) has a interest group called International Christian Statisticians (ICS). ICS just began offering a mentorship program: sign up to be mentor or mentee; get paired up with a mentee/mentor. The coordinator of this mentorship program is Dr. Jason Wilson at Biola University.
