The Daily Bruin

Circuit Riders (a part of YWAM), a group with a passion to see Jesus touch the hearts of students and spread the love of God at colleges and universities nationally, is coming to George Fox as part of their “Carry the Love” outreach. You can read more about it here.

There are 20 people coming and they are in need of housing (only) from Friday, March 30, to Saturday, April 7. They have said they are not looking for anything fancy – just a place to lay their head at night. Food and transportation has already been arranged.

If you can open your home to some of the team, contact Barbi Doran at bdoran@georgefox.edu. Thanks so much for your consideration!

The university’s offices, libraries and Bruin Store will be closed this Friday, March 30, to observe Good Friday.

The William Penn Honors Program invites you to hear theologian and ethicist Matthew Kaemingk present a thought-provoking Christian perspective on the growing debates over Muslim presence in the West. Rejecting both fearful nationalism and romantic multiculturalism, Kaemingk makes the case for a third way — a Christian pluralism that is committed to both the historic Christian faith and the public rights, dignity and freedom of Islam.

The lecture is Thursday, April 5, at 7:30 p.m. in Canyon Commons 101-103 and is free and open to the public.

Please send any questions to Jocelyn Stein at jstein@georgefox.edu.
