The George Fox University Civility Project, along with United as Neighbors of Newberg and Dundee, invite you to join a conversation about how we should respond to political violence. This issue is even more urgent since the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the range of ways people have responded to that event.
At Community Conversations, you’ll get a chance to better understand the views of people who disagree with you while helping them understand your views and the reasons you hold them.
A good conversation can help everyone get a fuller, clearer picture of why people think the way they do, avoid misunderstanding, and heal polarized groups and communities. Come practice this Wednesday, Oct. 1, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in Canyon Commons.
For more information about the Civility Project and its events, check out this website or contact Ron Mock at civility@georgefox.edu.

Why does an apple a day keep the doctor away? Fun fact: Apples are packed with soluble fiber, which helps lower cholesterol and promotes gut health, and they are a great source of antioxidants like flavonoids and polyphenols.
These compounds help reduce inflammation, protect against chronic diseases such as heart disease and certain cancers, and support overall immune function. While eating your daily apple won’t guarantee perfect health, its dense nutritional profile contributes to a balanced diet that can help maintain wellness and reduce the risk of illness.
Speaking of apples, our popular “Cooking with Class” series is back, and we’re celebrating all things apple on Tuesday, Oct. 7, at noon in Canyon Commons. A talented Bon Appétit baker will guide us in creating a delicious, low-sugar apple crisp.
But the fun doesn’t stop there – you’ll also enjoy a wonderful apple-themed lunch, sample a variety of fresh apples, and get a take-home kit so you can make another crisp for your family and friends.
We only have 80 spots, and they are filling quickly. Click here to RSVP so you don’t miss a day of apple-filled fun!
