from listserv email 12/10--

Dear Public Health Christian Fellowship,

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John 1:14) Dear ones, praying this morning for you to be strengthened in your walk with God, knowing that Jesus came, that he has done the saving work, that we see his glory even now, and that we anticipate his glorious return one day. May you go about your work - in all the busy busy busy ness of this season - trusting that he goes with you and before you, every step of the way. 

Please join us this Friday, 7-9pm, in the PCTB Green House Cafe (725 N Wolfe St), for dinner, a dramatic retelling of the Christmas story, and carols with the International Fellowship. Friends are welcome - RSVP here: http://bit.ly/jhifchristmas19

CDMA Northeast Winter Conference: Jan 17-19 (MLK weekend), Christian healthcare professionals at all levels of training and practice will gather at the Sandy Cove Conference Center in North East, Maryland for a great weekend of fun, fellowship, small groups and two dynamic speakers: William “Griff” Griffin, DDS, and Keshia Brown, PA-C. The overall theme will be “Healing for the Healthcare Professional.” Register here. While this is targeted at people in the medical and dental professions, they welcome people from public health and allied health professions too - PHCFers who have attended in the past have greatly benefited from attending. (If you sign up, please email jhsph.phcf@gmail.com so that Teresa knows and can connect you with the Hopkins Medical Student Christian Fellowship and Hopkins faculty CMDA chapter for arranging carpools.)

Inter-ministry leaders potluck/prayer meeting: If you are interested in leadership or in meeting other student leaders and ministry staff from the various Hopkins graduate/professional schools, please talk to Teresa. We are planning an inter-ministry potluck/prayer meeting at the beginning of the next semester. We'd love to include you!

Leadership: if interested in leadership, please email jhsph.phcf@gmail.com - this group relies on Jesus first and foremost for guidance and direction, but also needs you as student leaders as His hands and feet here in our school.

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.
