Merry Christmas! And New Year's Party in Jan!

2011-12-06T19:55:00.000-05:00

Season's greetings, lovely people!

It's been a few weeks since our last get-together, and we hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving break. So, there were rumors of an upcoming Christmas party.... However, in light to end-of-semester craziness, we've decided to put that thought on hold and instead have a New Year's/Belated Christmas party when we return in January. It's that time of year when we all just want to be done and go home, so we'll let you finish up with a bang and celebrate once everyone has enjoyed some holiday spirit. Details to come later, but we're planning for it to be the first week we come back.

Quick summary:

Next event: New Year's/Belated Christmas party

When: 1st week of Jan. (date and time TBA)

Until then...

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

In the midst of all the busyness, let's remember to give God praise and to celebrate the birth of Jesus, our Savior. Many blessings this Christmas, and we'll see you in 2012!

Bible Study Next Wed

2011-11-09T15:37:00.000-05:00

Hello lovely people,

Thanks everyone who came to dinner last week, we certainly had a great evening with Dr. Morehouse and Susan. We're hoping to have more physician "guest speakers" in the future. If you're interested in talking to Christian docs in a specific specialty, we'll see what we can do. There is a directory of Christian physicians in the greater Rochester area if you're interested in getting in touch and/or shadowing. Check it out at http://grmccf.org/ and click on the "Directory" leaf on the left.

Anyways, our next Bible study (which you might have already guessed) will be next Wed @ 8 and not tonight. It'll most likely be at David's house (53 Westview Terrace), but we'll confirm in the email next week. Enjoy your free evening!

First years, we hope your ICM went well! Good luck with your block 3 exam on Monday! We'll be praying for you. Ah, the joys of cranial nerves... Remember to take deep breaths (lol).

Blessings,

Tiffany & David

Fine greetings to all!

Unfortunately you can't park in the Goler lot unless you have a permit, so best to park at the med school if you live further away. At the main entrance (horseshoe driveway on East Dr.), enter the left side doors (towards Elmwood). Use the enterphone to call 138 so I can buzz you in, or just call my cell (314-677-0152) if you have issues. Once in, walk down the long lobby to the elevators/stairs, go to the 1st floor, turn left and go all the way down the hall to the end.

Hi everyone,

I very much hope you got to enjoy the beautiful, warm sunny weather this weekend. I could use some more of it. This should brighten up your week...a fellowship outing!

What: Fellowship + Dinner + Bible Study
When: SATURDAY 10/15 @ 6pm!!
Where: Dinner at Napa Wood Fired Pizza (think gourmet pizza with a nice atmosphere) followed by Bible study at Boulder Coffee nextdoor -- on the corner of Alexander St. and Clinton Ave S.

That's right, there will be NO Wed night study this week, only SATURDAY! :D The choice of restaurant is totally open to suggestions. If you have any preferences/other ideas, then give us a holler.

Also, please let David and I know if you'll be coming so we can get a head count to make reservations. Napa isn't a huge place, so we'd like to warn them before we invade. We'll send the finalized plan near the end of the week once we hear back from people.

Bible Study this Wednesday!!!! GET READY FOR AN AWESOME TIME

2011-09-26T23:04:00.001-04:00

Hey Everyone,

Just wanted to say thank you sooooooo MUCH for all your prayers over the past few weeks. My surgery went extremely well, and I am on track for a speedy recovery.

Hope to see you all out at bible study this weekend, details are below.

WHAT: Bible Study

WHAT SHOULD I BRING: Myself, a friend, maybe a snack to pass :).

WHERE: 53 Westview Terrace (David's aka "Grandma's House" right behind chipoltle)*

WHY: Because we know how to have a blast.

*Don't hate, Michael Jordan was an OG too (Original Granny) and this crippled retired basketball player is back and ready to lead Wednesday's bible study. It's guaranteed to be a slam dunk experience.

In Christ,

David A. Paul

Fwd: RIT Outreach Series - Veritas Exchange

2011-09-17T15:45:00.000-04:00

Hello all,

Thanks again for praying for David, his surgery went well and he went home the same day. Continue to pray for a smooth and speedy recovery. We look forward to see him back in action soon.

A URMC faculty member requested that we pass along info about lecture series happening at RIT (Rochester Institute of Technology) called "What is Truth?: Searching for the Reality and Necessity of God". Some of you may be familiar with Intervarsity's Veritas Forums, an outreach ministry that invites experts in their field to discuss the relation between God and scientific/philosophical issues. This is one of those series! The weekly lectures will begin this Tues, Sept 20. They will continue on 9/27 and 10/4. Check out the attached flyer for full details.

If you're interested, this is a fantastic opportunity to invite non-Christian friends, even if you can only make it to one. It's a great way to open up a spiritual discussion, especially if you have trouble initiating them on your own.

What: Veritas Exchange lecture series, "What is Truth?: Searching for the Reality and Necessity of God"
When: Tuesdays @ 7pm - 9/20, 9/27, 10/4
Where: RIT Ingle Auditorium
-- See attached flyer!

It's definitely worth checking out!

Getting there... If you live nearby, it's best to walk since there is no street parking. If you drive to school, then it's probably best to park in your usual spot and then walk over--it's literally across the street from the main hospital lobby.

See you Wed!

P.S. Don't forget to keep David and his Thurs. ACL surgery in your prayers.

Prayer Request for our Co-leader

2011-09-11T13:55:00.000-04:00

Hi everyone,

Hope you've made some time to spend with the Lord this past week. In the coming week, we ask that you keep David in your prayers. As many of you know, David injured his knee last month and has been doing physical therapy for the past 5 weeks. He'll be having surgery to repair his torn ACL this Thursday 9/15. Please pray that God will guide the surgery team's hands, that the operation will go smoothly, and that he will make a speedy recovery post-op. David has made great progress thus far and we pray that he will continue to do so!

In Him,

Tiffany

P.S. There will be Bible study this Wed. at 8pm. Location TBA--look for an email later this week.

Bible Study Verses

2011-09-05T13:28:00.000-04:00

Hi everyone,

Hope you've all been enjoying the long holiday weekend. It's not over yet! Thanks to those of you who came on Wed. night for Bible study. We had a good discussion about the relevance of studying Biblical health care and building upon a solid Biblical foundation in our studies and future careers. For your own personal time with God, below are the verses we talked about. Use them over the next week for reflection. Our next Bible study will be Wed. Sept. 14 @ 8pm (location TBA).

Colossians 2:8
See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ.

Matthew 7:24-27
"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. ²⁵ The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. ²⁶ But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. ²⁷ The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash."

Matthew 9:16-17
¹⁶ "No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch will pull away from the garment, making the tear worse. ¹⁷ Neither do people pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst; the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved."

Romans 12:1-2
¹ Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. ² Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

1 Corinthians 3:18-19
¹⁸ Do not deceive yourselves. If any of you think you are wise by the standards of this age, you should become "fools" so that you may become wise. ¹⁹ For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God's sight.

John 15:4-5
⁴ Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. ⁵ I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.

Luke 6:40
The student is not above the teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like their teacher.

Matthew 9:12
On hearing this, Jesus said, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick."

Have a great week and God bless,

Tiffany & David

Bible Study Wednesday @ 8PM

2011-08-29T20:51:00.001-04:00

Hey Everybody,

Just a heads up that our first bible study will be this Wednesday (Aug. 31st) at 53 Westview Terrace.

Time: 8PM - 9:30PM

Come take a quick study break with us as we delve into the topic of "Medicine as Ministry"!

Oh, and check out the scripture below. When studies start getting tough, find your refuge in the One above, for He'll give you wisdom and strength. Without him, we are nothing.

Psalm 127:1-2

^1-2 If God doesn't build the house, the builders only build shacks.
   If God doesn't guard the city,
      the night watchman might as well nap.
   It's useless to rise early and go to bed late,
      and work your worried fingers to the bone.
   Don't you know he enjoys
      giving rest to those he loves?

As Dr. Fong would say, "take a cleansing breadth". Enjoy God's refreshing spirit this week, and glorify him through your studies.

SEE YOU WEDNESDAY!!!!!!

BREAKFAST RESCHEDULED

2011-04-24T08:22:00.001-04:00

Dear Colleagues,

Thank you for responding to our appeal for feedback about our Spring MCCF Breakfast. Over 50 of you wrote back, and it became very clear that we had chosen a very busy time of year when over 90% of you had schedule conflicts and couldn’t come. Many expressed regret that you would be missing an interesting speaker and topic. A large majority liked the topic but several of you indicated that it was too focused on marriage to be of interest to you. As a result, we have decided to:

1. Reschedule the Breakfast from this coming Saturday, April 30^th to Saturday, October 8^th from 9-11 at the Academy of Medicine.

2. Broaden our subject material to be more inclusive. Kathy Elliott will be addressing the topic “Building Lasting Relationships.”

We’re sorry we won’t be seeing you this coming weekend but hope you can join us this Fall. Thanks again for your fellowship in the Gospel.

Happy Easter!

Bill and Susan Morehouse

Physician Breakfast?

2011-04-17T11:44:00.001-04:00

We need to hear from you!

Two weeks ago we emailed an announcement of our upcoming MCCF Breakfast, scheduled for Saturday, April 30^th. However, so far we’ve gotten such a poor response that we’re considering cancelling this Spring’s breakfast and rescheduling our speaker for the fall.

Currently we’re set up to have Kathy Elliott, Director of Agape Counseling, come and share with us about “Maintaining a Healthy Marriage”. Her topic will cover not only maintenance of a current medical marriage but tips to build strength into a relationship at any stage so that it can withstand the rigors of having one or both members involved in a medical career.

Perhaps the date is inconvenient this spring, or the topic doesn’t appeal to you, or you just haven’t gotten back to us. Whatever, the reason, we need to hear from you soon so that we can take action early this week and either 1) cancel the event or 2) send out our final mailing and flyer.

Thanks!

Bill and Susan Morehouse

Bible Study cancelled this week

2010-04-06T15:58:00.000-04:00

Hello Friends!

Sadly, the powers that be in the School of Medicine and Dentistry have scheduled an important Boards Review session on Wednesday evening right during the time of normal Bible Study. Given that all the second year leaders want to attend and we don't have any back up plans right now, we are going to go ahead and take the week off from our discussion of Screwtape Letters. Enjoy the extra time for studying, or maybe fellowship with friends during our normal meeting time.

See you all next week, for continued discussion and prayer (most likely at Robin's house...details to come!)

Blessings,

Robin, Mary and Boahema

If you are looking for a place to live next year or know of anyone who needs a place to live please let me know. We would prefer a female (sorry guys).
Thanks,

2010-03-05T09:41:00.001-05:00

Hello everyone!

Just wanted to send one final reminder for tonight's Bible Study Potluck! It will be at my (Robin's) house at 67 Southview Terrace at 6:30. Take this opportunity to take a break from studying and celebrate the end of this week while fellowshiping with our brothers and sisters in Christ. Grab a bag of chips or bring a couple of cans of green beans to warm up on the stove and join us for an hour of fun.

Enjoy your weekend and hope to see you tonight!

Your Bible Study leaders :)

Potluck Friday!

2010-03-04T07:37:00.001-05:00

Hey Everyone!
I know you already received an email about our Potluck this Friday, but I just wanted to remind you. Also, I know we asked you to reply to all and let us know what you are bringing but unfortunately you cannot reply to all to a listserve. You can either email one of the leaders with what you are brining or just bring something yummy to eat. It doesn't really matter what people bring, if everyone brings desserts, we will be eating desserts for dinner....not the end of the world :) Hope to see many of you there. It is this Friday at 6:30 at Robin's house (67 Southview Terrace, off of Elmwood between South and Mt. Hope). If you have any questions you can email or call any of the leaders. My number (Mary) is 585-755-6000. Looking forward to some fellowship and fun.
Boahema, Robin and Mary

Bible Study Pot Luck changed to Friday

2010-03-01T22:08:00.001-05:00

Hello everyone,

So the plan so far has been to have a pot luck this week in place of our normal bible study, however, the second years have a panel/dinner going on that night at 6 that pertains to information about third year that will be helpful to us. Most of us are going to be there. It totally slipped our minds. So, if it okay with you all, we would like to have it Friday night at 6:30 at Robin's house ( 67 Southview Terrace, off of Elmwood between South and Mt. Hope). We hope that everyone can come out. You can stay as long as you want (aka you don't have to stay long if you don't want to).

Please let us know if this new time will conflict with any other plans. Also don't forget to email what food you will be bringing (it can be anything). Thank you so much.

PS I'm baking macroni and cheese.

Boahema, Robin and Mary

Bible Study!

2010-02-23T12:26:00.001-05:00

Hey Everyone!
     Bible study tomorrow (Weds) will be at Mary and Jen's house 128 Irvington Street at 7pm. This is our last week of Corinthians. Hope all can make it :)
     Also just wanted to give you a heads up about the future. We are planning a pot luck next week so we can have some time for fellowship before Spring break. Also, our third years are going to be pretty busy after spring break so it is also a chance for us to hang out with them. We probably will not have bible study the week before spring break due to first and second year tests. We will then start up again after spring break. Also we just wanted to mention that we are starting to look for a few first years who might be interested in leading bible study next year. Let us know if you want to be a leader.
   Hope to see you all tomorrow at 7pm.
                 Bible Study Leaders

Bible Study tomorrow

2010-02-16T21:39:00.000-05:00

Hello all!

Sorry for the last minute E-mail, but we had a couple last minute changes. The plan is for Bible Study to be at Robin and Melissa's house on Southview Terrace. We know that it is Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent, and some churches have services tomorrow. However, since not everyone has a service to attend, we leaders decided to go ahead with Bible Study. If you have a service at your home church and would rather attend that, we understand. If it ends early enough and you want to stop by, that would be great too! Either way, we will be doing the second half of the Corinthians chapter we started yesterday.

WHAT: Bible Study, First Corinthians

WHEN: 7:00 tomorrow 2/17 (Ash Wednesday!)

WHERE: 67 Southview Terrace (off of Elmwood between South and Mt. Hope)

Hope to see you there!

Missions Breakfast, Haiti update 1/23

2010-01-17T21:52:00.000-05:00

LAST CALL! Please sign up now for our Winter Missions Breakfast coming up this Saturday, January 23rd, from 9-11 am at the Rochester Academy of Medicine, 1441 East Ave. We have an array of local speakers, including Drs. Christine Birnie, Norm Wetterau, and Larry Gage who will be talking about their missions experiences and associated opportunities in India, Africa, and Nicaragua.

In addition, we'll be bringing an update about Haiti and ways that you can support the relief efforts that are going on there. At least 3 MCCF members have been actively involved, including Jeff Harp (who may be with us to share), John Seaman (who will be on his way to Haiti -- see Note below), and Alexi Matousek (who is with Dr. Farmer and group out of Boston). Let us know if you have additional contact information to share. More on Saturday!

Please call Susan (436-1628) before Thursday to confirm. We're looking forward to seeing you all!


Dr. Bill and Susan Morehouse

Note
John Seaman is leaving at the end of the week to go to Haiti with a second team and has given us the following prayer requests:

Need for networking / coordination in the midst of chaos and confusion
Safety & security – not just with people rioting, etc, but also with transport, etc. We’ll be working with Helimission using helicopters to access more remote areas.
Emotional & spiritual needs of our team members / other workers facing the tremendous needs / loss
Spiritual covering – I’m sure the spiritual darkness of Haiti will be reacting. Who knows, this might deal a significant blow to the Voodoo spiritual empire?

I just wanted to remind you guys that the school has in a place a policy for opting out of educational experiences that a student finds objectionable. I was less than thrilled about the way the human sexuality lectures and small groups were run and I just wanted to pass along an email discussion with Dr. Markakis as I am opting out of some future ACE sessions. So bottom line, it is your education, and it should be handled in a way you feel is appropriate. If you are uncomfortable with material, you have the right in our student handbook to learn it in a way that is consistent with your beliefs and faith.

Regarding the upcoming conferences I see your request to opt out, ie not attend, and that is noted (and accepted). As you may be aware, the School has a Policy in place, regarding 'opting out for conscientious objection' (I've cut and pasted a portion of it below; the full policy is in the Handbook). With regard to this conference and the content, as you note, you will be held responsible for the material, understanding the options, risks and benefits. Please note, there is some content about Emergency procedures, and you are responsible for knowing that material; as well, if you are unable to provide a patient's request, you should know how/where to refer a patient for the services they seek.

I do recommend you meet with your Advisory Dean to discuss accommodations in Years 3 and 4. As below, students cannot opt out of participating in educational experiences that involve emergency health care.

Effective March 11, 2009, the SMD has a new policy that allows students to opt out of specific (non emergency) educational experiences due to conscientious objection. If a student's conscientious objection and anticipated absence or non participation in educational experiences, substantially alters the depth and integrity of the educational requirements for University of Rochester medical students, a review committee will determine the reasonableness of the anticipated non participation. The student may appeal an adverse review committee decision to the MSPRB, whose decision will be final.

A student who complies with the required notification and approval process, can not be required by faculty, residents, the hospital or a member of its medical staff to participate in any (non emergency) health care or research activity related to the conscientious objections.

Please note, students with approved requests can not opt out of participating in educational experiences that involve emergency health care. Because students with must participate in the care of patients during emergency situations, they will not be exempted for being evaluated on the educational content and must demonstrate (via means other than the actual procedures of the area of objection) the expected level of competence. The URSMD is not responsible for providing tutoring and/or academic support to assist a student with meeting the academic standards.
