The Office of Spiritual Life (SpiL) offers students annual opportunities to participate in SpiL trips. These domestic and international trips last anywhere from one to four weeks and challenge students to learn from and work alongside great people and model organizations in the context of their culture, community and complexities.
These trips are designed to share the “Be Known” promise beyond our campus as students meet, befriend and serve “Christ in the least of these,” particularly among people experiencing the various and complex realities of under-resourced communities. Our traveling teams do so by immersing in the cultural contexts and perspectives that exist outside of students’ familiar home culture and utilizing service as a means of nurturing Christian community development.
Our teams go with the mindset of being both learners and servants. Our primary goal through these short-term trips is to recognize, learn from, accentuate, encourage and build upon the assets and gifts of our global neighbors, partner organizations, and the neighbors and communities they live amongst and serve long term. We aspire to listen and learn, encourage and serve alongside to help enhance sustainable ministry and Christian community development, with the goal of coming home with a greater understanding of the kingdom and mission of God and our role in it wherever we live.
For more information and to apply, go to georgefox.edu/spiltrips. Applications are due Monday, Nov. 13.

The Students for Life Club is excited to host guest speaker Liberty Pike, who works for Oregon Right to Life, on Wednesday, Nov. 8. She will be addressing the issue of abortion and the depth and importance of the pro-life cause from 5 to 6:30 p.m. in Hoover 103.
Liberty will also be talking about how to love those who have been affected by abortion and what our actions should be to balance grace and truth together. All are welcome to the event, and we hope to bring a light to a topic that is so easily pushed into the darkness and never talked about.

As security officers patrol around campus, they are seeing some “creative” parking. This is just a reminder that if you are parking on a street, your car must be facing in the same direction as the lane of traffic next to you (i.e., your right tires must be within 12 inches of the right curb when parallel parking on a two-lane road, as per ORS 811.570).
And, when in a George Fox parking area, there must be a striped line on either side of your vehicle. There is no parking against building sides, walls, creating a new space, etc. Did you know that Newberg police can also fine you $110 for parking the wrong way on a city street or in a yellow curb fire zone, and $435 for parking in a handicapped spot (including the hash-marked areas) without a valid state-issued handicapped permit?
Questions? Please check the parking regulations here, or call Security Services at 503-554-2090 during office hours.
