The Daily Bruin

Don’t forget to mark Wednesday, June 14, on your calendar for the university’s annual Day of Prayer.

We are setting this day aside for university employees to spend their usual work hours in prayer and spiritual retreat. You may do so on campus, off campus, in your home, or at an alternative site.

So, why a Day of Prayer? This helps us begin the 2023-24 year prayerfully attentive to how God was present this past year while also discerning his direction for the year ahead. As a Christ-centered university, we have the opportunity to intentionally seek God, remembering that we are stewards – caretakers of this place that belongs to God, seeking the Holy Spirit’s wisdom, and trusting God as we enter into a new year.

The second Wednesday of June has been designated by George Fox to be a day dedicated to prayer. The Office for Spiritual Life will send out materials before June 14 to guide your time as needed.

Do you ever feel like you are struggling to thrive? Recent studies show that 40% of us are feeling burnt out, but there is hope.

Join us to learn the powerful impact of discovering and living by your values and receive practical insights about how to get past barriers that can leave us feeling unfulfilled and drained. Feel free to register today for a Providence Health Plan-hosted webinar, “Staying Refreshed and Preventing Burnout.” The session is scheduled from 10 to 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, June 15.

When registering, please use the access code PHPCOMM, PHPASO, PHPPSJH or PHPPEBB. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email from Zoom containing information about joining the webinar.
