This Week In GFM: November 1-6


Monday: Weekly Prayer. 9:00 a.m. in the Charter Room of the Memorial Union. One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.” He said to them, “Practice makes perfect! I hear GFM has committed to meeting together in prayer at 9:00 a.m. every Monday. You should check it out!"

Tuesday: Thinking about Faith Resumes! 7:30 p.m. at Tim O'Connor's home, 3119 S. Forrester.

Wednesday: Manuscript Bible Study, 7-9 p.m., Ballantine Hall 004.We'll continue our study of Acts. This study has no homework-- drop-ins are always welcome!

GFM "Retreat" This Weekend! 
On, November 4 & 5, we are excited to have Craig and Sharon Gartland in Bloomington to lead us in an all-GFM, come-as-you-can "retreat." Craig is the Midwest regional director for InterVarsity Graduate & Faculty Ministries (yep... that's us!), and Sharon is the national director of "The Well," GFM's publication for women in the academy. Our theme is “Flourishing in the University.” 

The Schedule: 
Friday night, we'll meet from 6:00-9:00 p.m. at Tim and Gail O’Connor’s house. (3119 S Forrester St. Bloomington, IN 47401). Dinner will be provided. Contact Kerilyn if you need a ride, or can give someone else a ride. 

Saturday, 9:00-11:30 a.m., we'll meet in the Bryan Room in the IMU, which is at the top of the Student Activities Tower. Take the elevator on the West side of the building all the way to the top floor, then take the stairs up one more flight, and then you’ll get to the Bryan Room. 

Saturday, from 11:30 a.m.- 4:00 p.m., we’ll be in the State Room West (also in the IMU). Lunch is not included, so bring a brown bag or a few bucks to grab something in the IMU. 

You are invited to come and go as needed- there's no obligation to attend every session. We'll spend some time thinking about personal flourishing—how to remain close to God and at peace in the midst of academia—but we’ll also spend some time discussing what it might mean to reach out to others in the university.
