Wednesday Oct 3rd Gathering

0 comments Posted by MacIVCF at 2:18 AM

Thanks for last Wednesday's lively discussion and deep interest in the way that God is leading MacVCF this year! Come and gather with us again this week for some more discussion and prayer:

6pm -- @ the Clubspace couches.
McMaster University Student Centre (MUSC) room 215

This week, you'll hear more about Small Groups. Here are some tidbits on what's in store for scripture study this year...

Mark 1
Study the 1st half of the Gospel of Mark
meeting on Mondays and Thursdays
(I strongly and insanely recommend this one if you're new to MacVCF. It will CHANGE the way you think about Jesus. Be very afraid... and then draw near!)

Philippians and Ephesians
meeting on Tuesdays



See you all on Wednesday for discussion and prayer!

text: "To act justly everyday, loving mercy in every way, walking humbly before you God -- You have shown us what you require. Freely we've received now freely we will give..."
-- God of Justice by Tim Hughes

What is our next step? It is one that will be guided by the voice of God. Let's join together in prayer for the future of our community -- a community that will seek the LORD and live
