Upcoming planning get-together and barbecue
The Denver Christian Docs group will be getting together July 22, 2007 to figure out what we want to do next year. Barbecue, BYOB (bring your own beef.) This one is for graduate members only, not for residents or students. We want to figure out next year's priorities and programs.
Think about how we as a group could serve you, in that we are made up of Christians who are also docs, dentists, spouses, and friends. Your churchmates don't understand the pressures of medicine often, and many (most?) of the docs you work with really don't understand your Christian side. For some ideas, take a look at this page from the national Christian Medical/Dental Associations Website on their 83 ministries.
Also think about how you are being called to serve. One of the things we are sensitive to is the giant sucking sound that most Christian organizations have when you get close, and you never can escape. Think about people with a life term in the Nursery at church! We don't want that here. If you have a short term idea, express it. We won't volunteer you to head the committee, recruit members, manage it for life, and bankrupt your practice. We understand the desire to do something and actually finish it.
Our major goal is for all of us to get together and have a good time, get to know each other. We want to continue the growth we have seen over the past several years in our little corner of the Body of Christ, grow, learn, enjoy ourselves and each other.
If you can't make it, be sure and send me a note with your wish list. Know a great speaker? Have an interesting topic? Want to meet in another part of town? Click on the reply button below this message or send a note to denvercmda at hot mail dot com or to my personal email if you're on our list.
Finally, if you are a Christian doc, dentist, PA, nurse, etc. and want to link up with us, reply to me the same as above and we'll get you on our email list.
