Telos ’13 Brochure – FINAL


How Tremendous will this semester be? Really Tremendous.

Specifically because this Tuesday, Jan. 29, 8pm at GCASL, Grand Hall (5th Floor) will be a joint Praise Night with your Christian Fellowship Family at NYU. Come be filled, empowered, and re-centered.

This Thursday, Jan. 31, from 6pm-8pm marks our inaugural Small Group of the semester at GCASL, 4th Floor Chaplain’s Lounge. Experience the person of Jesus in community: fun, food, and fellowship. Dinner will be served.

And finally, if you haven’t signed up for Telos ’13, our annual NY, NJ, and PA retreat for graduate students and faculty, you’re in luck! Only 4 weeks left to register, but there’s room for you! It will be a tremendous time of enjoying the presence of God, laughing hard, playing in snow, and eating good food. Also, money should never be an obstacle between you and Jesus. Some scholarship is available if you need it, please speak with me. A brochure/registration form is attached.

Looking forward to seeing you soon!

Blessings,
Anna

1. Small groups

Small groups is still on from 6-8pm on Thursday at the Chaplain’s lounge at the Center for academic and spiritual life , 4th floor.
Let’s gather to fellowship and pray for each other, especially during this really stressful period!!

2. Wednesday study sessions!! ( New!)

Study Buddies – Wednesdays, 9:30am-1:30pm, Anna’s office ( 4th floor at at the center for academic and spiritual life. Turn left instead of right where the chaplain’s lounge is)
Who says you have to suffer alone during finals season? Bring your class reading, paper writing, and other to-do items and work on them in community. These hours coincide with Anna’s office hours, so she’ll be there to keep you company, and Stina will stop by during her lunch break as well, perhaps with some Christmas goodies. Email or text Stina for more information, stina.dufour@gmail.com or 773-456-2189.

Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, 25 not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching. ” Hebrews 10: 23-25

Please share your prayer requests in this group or with your prayer buddy so that we may support each other in His power and strength! :)

in His love and mine,
Florence

hey guys!! glad to see all of you at thanksgiving night last thursday.. enjoyed the fellowship and sharing that we had ( And yummy chinese food with the red velvet cake ) .
hang in there for the finals.. the semester is almost over!

” We wait in hope for the LORD; he is our help and our shield. In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. May your unfailing love rest upon us, O LORD, even as we put our hope in you.” – Psalm 33: 20-22.

hope you guys are safely at home and kept warm during this Northeastern storm.. brrrr..it’s cold!! let’s continue to keep those who were affected by Sandy and are currently stuck in the cold in prayer.. hopefully they will have some access to warm blankets. Read this in Isaiah 43: 1-7..may it encourage you and remind you of His love and protection in the midst of difficult times.
 
But now, this is what the Lord says—
    he who created you, Jacob,
    he who formed you, Israel:
“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
    I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
When you pass through the waters,
    I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
    they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
    you will not be burned;
    the flames will not set you ablaze.
For I am the Lord your God,
    the Holy One of Israel, your Savior;
I give Egypt for your ransom,
    Cush[a] and Seba in your stead.
Since you are precious and honored in my sight,
    and because I love you,
I will give people in exchange for you,
    nations in exchange for your life.
Do not be afraid, for I am with you;
    I will bring your children from the east
    and gather you from the west.
I will say to the north, ‘Give them up!’
    and to the south, ‘Do not hold them back.’
Bring my sons from afar
    and my daughters from the ends of the earth—
everyone who is called by my name,
    whom I created for my glory,
    whom I formed and made.”

Alpha was on this week and will continue for two more weeks. It’s still not too late to invite your friends or attend it yourself if you want to deepen your understanding of the faith.
