Each year during Holy Week, the Office for Spiritual Life invites the community to meditate on Jesus’ journey to the cross through a Stations of the Cross prayer experience.
As we are not able to gather together for this annual tradition, the university pastors invite you to create a similar experience in your own home. We invite you to print this document and post the Scriptures around your home so that, as you move through your house, you may prayerfully meditate on Jesus’ journey to the cross throughout this Holy Week.
Peace be with you.

In anticipation of a temporary reduction in campus services and staff working remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic, finance and purchasing are asking for your help to cut or defer all spending that is not critical to the operation of the university.
To assist with this goal, all purchases over $1,000 must have an authorized purchase order. Please limit all office supply orders to only include items that are critical to operate.
We are currently reviewing changes to credit card limits and availability, and we will communicate with affected departments/employees as those changes are finalized.
For help, please contact:
Matt Hammar (mhammar@georgefox.edu or extension 2006) for purchase order help and information.
Kathi Becker (kbecker@georgefox.edu or extension 2166) for Visa and Concur help and information.

Does your department have 8.5″ x 11″ clear transparency sheets you are no longer using? The engineering department can use these to make face shields.
A couple of our staff are busy using the 3D printer for the headpiece and are in need of transparencies for the shield that drops over the face. These are being distributed to local health care facilities and frontline workers.Â
Drop them in the campus mail to: Transparencies, Box 6088. If you have questions or need a pick-up, contact Lora Froescher at lfroescher@georgefox.edu or 503-554-2777.
