I thought that i had sent this out already, but apparently i did not. 

Every year Intermed has a winter retreat. Normally, it's in February, but this year we wanted to foster more community building so we moved it to early Dec. We hope that you guys can make it! There will be fellowship, speakers, worship and games. It's also short enough to not cut into too much study time. Registration is online. If interested, please register by Nov 27th.

It's time for the annual Intermed retreat! Join other Christian medical/dental/healthcare students from around the greater New York City for a brief retreat on December 4-5 at NYMC in Westchester. More information about the retreat and registration is below. We hope to see you there!

In Christ,
    -the 2009-2010 Intermed Retreat Team

FOCUS:
"Jesus answered them, 'It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.'" (Luke 5:31-32)

Evangelism is a critical component of God's mission in our lives. As students of the health professions, we face unique challenges in following Christ, as well as unique opportunities to engage in 'missions.' Join us as we consider what this means to us individually and corporately, both in the context of global missions and within the domestic concerns of our daily lives as students in the New York City area.

GUEST SPEAKERS:
Introduction: Scott Boyles, MDiv (CMDA Northeast Regional Director)
Plenary sessions: Stephen Ko, MD, MPH (pediatrician and student at Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary)
Workshop leaders: David Kim, MD, and more to be announced, including a special dental workshop.

DETAILS:
What: Large-group worship and messages, small-group sharing and devotionals, games and fellowship
Where: New York Medical College in Valhalla, NY (directions to follow, upon registration)
Date: Friday, December 4 - Saturday, December 5
Cost: $20 (pay when you get there)

HOW TO REGISTER:
Registration is online:
http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dFdabW9Sc0hjdW1jbXVYY29TTmFhMFE6MA
Please register as soon as you can, to help us plan for food and lodging -- our deadline is Friday, November 27, 2009.

QUESTIONS?
Email <retreat.in...@gmail.com>, or ask your school fellowship leader. More information about Intermed can be found at <http://www.cmdanyc.org/home/>.

Hi everyone....

so, even though the deadline to register has passed, rules were meant to be broken! And I think it's still ok to sign up. 

I've had the opportunity to talk with each of the speakers and they're very warm, God-fearing, men (and one woman) with a lot of wisdom. There will be a dental workshop given by George Kurillo (a practicing dentist from New Jersey). For those of us with XX chromosomes, another workshop will feature Janice Kim who will talk about juggling ministry, being a doctor, wife, and mother. 

I've gotten a lot out of being part of Intermed and getting to know some of the other students around the New York area. So I highly recommend coming to the retreat. It's short and sweet. Dec 4 Friday night to Dec 5 Saturday afternoon (so basically 1 day) and really not too much commitment. So sign up if you haven't yet!

Also, if you've already signed up, can you please reply so I know who's coming? This way we can go up together or arrange transportation. Thanks!

-Christy
