Hi Everyone,
Hope you’ve all been doing well! We know that quite a few of you have exams this week so we're wishing you all the best for your exams and are praying for you. We're back to Faith and Medicine this week so drop by to learn more about how to incorporate Faith into your work! For those of you feeling overwhelmed, tired, worried we are right here if you want anyone to talk to or pray for you! Here is the link for the prayer form!
Faith and Medicine: This week we will be having a Faith and Medicine Discussion! The topic is “Servant of Christ”. The bible study will take place this Wednesday, October 20th at 12pm.

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!
Favorite Bible Verses and Books: In order for us to continue to live our lives in the image of Christ, we need to build up our arsenal of biblical knowledge. Please share with us your favorite verse as well as any encouraging books that you have read. We will share the responses through RFCF.

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.
