GPSS Random
Dinner: Random
Dinners attempt to facilitate the meeting of graduate and professional school
students with those in disciplines outside their own through good company and
good food. First thing's first, this entire undertaking relies on
a few of you generous souls who are willing to host a group of 5-12 people
(wholly dependent on what you want) at your abode for dinner. There are three nights to choose from
(January 26-8). Register at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=488553099489. Registration will end on Friday, January 19th
at NOON (late registers will be contacted if and when someone
cancels). This is a potluck dinner so what
you end up eating is wholly dependent on you and your dinner companions. The
GPSS will provide a little wine - enough for a glass for each of you.
Healing Prayer Class: Mondays, 11:15 12:45, Dates: Jan. 22 – April 30,
Facilitator: Michele Kinrade, Ph.D. In

practiced in churches today. We will
review the history of healing prayer from biblical times to its resurgence in
the 20th century. We will also examine how various denominations and worship
styles differ in their approach to healing prayer. There will be time for
discussion and prayer at each session. Class
topics will include praying for physical and emotional (inner) healing,
reconciliation, deliverance, and more specific applications including praying
for the grieving, the dying, and for people with addictions. We will also review some of the current
scientific studies on praying for healing. We will conclude with discussions
about how to establish a healing prayer ministry in a church and how to develop
a prayer team.

spark discussion providing insights and strategies. RSVP to megan.hollaway@yale.edu so we can
reserve the right space.

to provide a way into drawing in relation to the reading. No artistic talent is
required, and you won’t have to show your drawing to the group if you don’t want
to!

Holy: Time:
Mondays, 1:30 – 3:00, Dates: Jan. 22 - Feb. 5, Facilitator: Harriet Carew. Play and pray! Open your heart and paint your soul! The body/mind/spirit connection will be

opportunity to “practice” on each other. Each pair will agree to meet regularly
through the semester, taking turns listening and being listened to.
Discernment Group: Time: Mondays, 11:30 –
1:00,
Dates: Jan. 22 – March 5, Facilitator: The Rev. Julie Kelsey. Are you uncertain about whether or not you
are called to ordained ministry? And if
so, in what tradition? If you do not
sense a call to
ordained
ministry, do you lie awake wondering what your lay ministry will look
like? Should you go for an M.A.R. or an
M.Div? If any of these questions - or
any other questions of discernment are on your mind and heart, you are invited
to explore them in this 6-session spiritual direction group for discernment. Sign up outside the Annand room at S-105
Spiritual Practices for Daily Life: Time: Mondays, 11:15 –
12:45, Dates: January
22 – April 30, Facilitator: Matthew
Calkins. We will learn about and
practice forms of Christian prayer from throughout the tradition, including
various types of contemplative and mental prayer and the prayerful study of

as how we can make ourselves available to the grace that enables regular
prayer. Sign up outside the Annand
