Friday noon Zoom prayertime; City-wide healthcare fellowship inter-professional panel this Thurs

Dear Public Health Christian Fellowship,

Our soul waits for the Lord; he is our help and our shield. For our heart is glad in him, because we trust in his holy name. Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us, even as we hope in you (Ps 33:20-22). Dear brothers and sisters, many things have changed in the past month: school moved online, work going remote, social distancing and "shelter in place" being enacted, healthcare systems preparing and engaging in COVID-19 response. In the midst of disruption, uncertainty, and much real suffering and stress, praying that your feet stay firmly planted on the One who saves. May you engage in the work he has prepared for you - whatever that may look like - with courage and diligence, with wisdom and love.

PHCF is moving online for the foreseeable future: Fridays at noon via zoom (link here). This week, we'll reconnect and pray - and meditate on a verse together.

Also, the Baltimore City-Wide Christian Healthcare Fellowship interdisciplinary panel discussion on faith in healthcare will now be on Zoom! If you - or members of your fellowship or church - are involved in a health-related field at any level of training or practice, please join us this Thursday April 2, 7-8:45pm, link here
