(c) DN Praise the LORD. Sing to the LORD
a new song, his praise in the
assembly of the saints.
(Ps 149:1)

 

(c) DN

is where we come together as the entire fellowship to worship with each other. At the end of a long and tiring week, it's always fun to relax and see your friends on Friday night.

The meetings typically involve praise and worship, prayer, and then a brief (30-40 minutes) talk by a speaker. In the past, Christian MIT professors, InterVarsity staff, local pastors and community leaders, and nationally recognized evangelists have spoken to GCF. Our members also give talks on their experiences being Christians at MIT.

A Friday evening then usually ends with going for a good dinner with friends. We look forward to meeting you this fall!
