Happy Valentine’s Day! We hope today you shared how much you love at least one person in your life. Today is also Ash Wednesday, so join us in Vespers tonight as we remember the sacrifice Christ suffered in our place.
We hope to see you at 7 p.m. in Bauman Auditorium for a time of remembrance and worship.
George Fox will serve as host for the final Richard Foster conference: “Empowering Spiritual Transformation in the Local Church: Celebrating 40 Years of Celebration of Discipline.” The event is scheduled for June 10-13.

If your students could benefit from getting hands-on practice with what they have already learned about APA, please encourage them to join the ARC for our follow-up APA workshop from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 21, in Lemmons 8.
There will be a brief review of basic APA in-text citations and references, and then plenty of time to practice the skills with immediate feedback from peers and the ARC coordinator, Maddie Lowen.
A basic understanding of APA will be helpful for this workshop. If students were not able to attend Sue O’Donnell’s previous APA workshop, encourage them to review these slides from her presentation before coming.

We welcome applicants from all disciplines as we work to build a cross-disciplinary team.
The 40-day period leading up to Easter, called Lent, begins today (Wednesday). The season of Lent beckons us to prepare our hearts for Easter by inviting us into confession of our need for a Savior and calling us into intimacy with God through practices that remind us of God’s character and presence.
The campus pastors will be offering an Ash Wednesday service to lead the community into the season of Lent on Wednesday at 7 p.m. in Bauman Auditorium during our usual Vespers chapel service. We will also offer a more informal Ash Wednesday service from 4 to 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday in the Prayer Chapel. All are welcome.
Please join us for the university libraries’ inaugural ​​”Fox @ the Fireside” event on Thursday, Feb. 15, from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. in the Murdock Learning Resource Center.
Gather around the fireplace with coffee and light refreshments to hear artist Jennifer Lichtenberg discuss her process and answer questions about her “I am afraid​” ​art ​exhibit on display for Black History Month beginning Feb. 9.
About the exhibit
During the 2016-17 academic year, the Graduate School of Counseling staff and faculty committed​ ​themselves​ ​to a book group, reading through and processing the work of Ta-Nehisi Coates’ Between the World and Me. In the book, Coates addresses what it means to inhabit an African American body in today’s America. Jennifer created “I am afraid” in response to Coates’ work.
Check out additional resources on Black History Month and Dr. Clayborne Carson’s lecture on the “Fox @ the Fireside” LibGuide.

The city of Newberg will limit Fulton Street to one lane today (Tuesday). Flaggers will be on hand to direct traffic, so expect major delays. Drivers are encouraged to use a different route, as the street will be one lane all day, starting at 7 a.m.
The closure will occur east of the Bauman parking lot entrance at the top of the hill, past Thomas Lane and the West Wheeler/Le Shana parking lot entrance. Cars will be able to enter the Le Shana lot from the east entrance off Fulton Street. It is unclear if there will be access to the Wheeler circle lot. Entrance to the Bauman parking lot will be unaffected.
Thank you for your patience as the city corrects an issue with a sewer line traveling across Fulton Street.
