George Fox University Theatre welcomes the university community to its production of The Hijabis. Performances in Wood-Mar Auditorium are scheduled as follows:

• Friday, April 8, at 7:30 p.m.
• Saturday and Sunday, April 9-10, at 2 p.m.

Synopsis
Maya, Nadia and Leen, three best friends from college, are now living their mid-20s dreams in suburban Chicago. Leen is a fashion designer who owns a fashion boutique. Maya works as an office assistant in a dental office, and Nadia is a teacher at a local Montessori school.

Life after college isn’t what any of the women expected, but what unites them in their struggles is their love for ice cream, their penchant for laughter, and their commitment to wearing their hijabs as a reflection of their faithfulness to God. Unfortunately, their lives are upended when their mosque is desecrated by locals from the community. Their responses to this event change the course of their lives.

Special Ticket Options for Students, Faculty and Staff
Students may acquire free tickets for our 2 p.m. Saturday, April 9, performance in Wood-Mar Auditorium.

George Fox faculty and staff are entitled to one free ticket for the run of the show. Both options may be selected when you purchase or select your tickets in our online ticketing system. Please use your George Fox email address when ordering.

You may purchase tickets here. For details or assistance, email Kathy Harris at kharris@georgefox.edu or call 503-554-2670.

On Wednesday, June 8, the employee community will be observing a Day of Prayer. The two-fold purpose for this day is:

• To begin the new fiscal year and academic year prayerfully attentive to God’s direction
• To encourage the spiritual well-being of the employee community

Details:

• Employees are encouraged to spend their usual work hours on Wednesday, June 8, in prayer and spiritual retreat.
• Employees are welcome to enjoy their prayer retreat on campus, off campus, in their homes, or at an alternate site.
• The university pastors will provide an optional video which can be used at the beginning of an employee’s prayer retreat as well as a devotional to guide employees through the day of prayer.

During the Day of Prayer, employees are encouraged to:

• Have conversation with God about their work
• Pray for their colleagues, students and the university
• Attend to their personal soul care, talking with God about their own lives of faith, and experiencing the ministry of the Spirit

During the Day of Prayer, employees are discouraged from:

• Using this prayer retreat day for team meetings/in-services
• Doing other work (responding to emails, working on projects, meeting with people, etc.)
• Keeping their cell phones on/active
• Using the day as a vacation day. This is a soul care day, which may look a lot like a vacation day (a walk in the woods, journaling, reading, etc.) but should have an intentional spiritual formation focus and be directed by God.

If you have any questions, please contact the Office for Spiritual Life at spirituallife@georgefox.edu.
