Hi Everyone,
How’ve you all been? Hope you all had fun on break! We’re back on the grind but Thanksgiving is right around the corner! Just a week to go till then! This week we’re back to bible study so come on by! For those of you who are feeling tired or stressed, or just need someone to talk to, we’re right here for you!
Bible Study: This Wednesday, November 17th, 2021 at noon we will be having bible study. We’ll be going through the first chapter of Luke’s Gospel! In addition, if anyone is confused about certain passages or is struggling with some verses, bring those along! We’ll set up some time to discuss them at the end of the bible study!

Questions: Oftentimes the bible can be confusing. There are sayings or verses that make you stop and go “what?”, and a lot of topics are plainly difficult to understand. For those of you who have any questions about the bible, about God, or a particular topic you just want to know more about, you can submit the questions below and we’ll answer them!

ElderCARE Lake County: ElderCARE is a tremendous organization focused on caring for elders in the community that is currently in need of more volunteers. ElderCARE has many unpaired, isolated elders in need of a companion volunteer, so just one phone call a week from a volunteer like you can make a big and immediate difference in someone's life!
ElderCARE pairs volunteers with an elder who would benefit from interaction, friendship, and companionship. This is a great opportunity for health professions students as this can be done via phone call (or home visits if you are interested), once a week, offering busy students a consistent and convenient opportunity to serve. Attached is all of the necessary training information.
Interested students may apply at ElderCARE's website and should reach out to emma.so...@my.rfums.org (or via GroupMe) so she can ensure your application was received and also answer any questions.
