Since our last post, we have had several busy weeks. Our Dental Welcome Dinner was attended by over 40 first year students. It seems to be a wonderful bunch of students who are enthusiastic about being involved in the ministry. Several of the upper class dental students helped with a panel discussion a week later for a DENTAL ONLY P & P on the topic, "What I would do differently as a D1." This also was well attended. The dental group has several small group Bible studies which have already begun. (If you would like to be involved, it's not too late, please contact Norm Patterson.) The Dental Group also had their first monthly Fellowship meeting at the home of Dr. Stephen & Dr. Shannon Thomas. We are so thankful for Dr. Norm & Sue Patterson who are directing this ministry.
The Medical Welcome Dinner was this past week. We had over 60 new medical students attend. Today we participated in UAB's Activities Fair for Dental and Medical students, so we were able to make connections with several more students who had not been able to attend the dinner. Medical group meetings begin next week -- Couples on Monday, August 13 and Singles on Tuesday, August 14. Our first P & P meeting will be on Wednesday, August 22. Thanks to everyone for their prayers for Earle Carpenter who suffered a heart attack in July. He is recovering and cannot wait to be allowed to get back to work. Comments are closed.
