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.
The 40-day period leading up to Easter, called Lent, begins tomorrow (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.

Intercultural Life is partnering with the Black Student Union for Black History Month to put together next week’s Matheteis! Join us at 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 20, in Canyon Commons 103.
Matheteis is a discussion forum that comes from the Greek word for disciple. Our goal is to provide space for faculty, staff/administrators and students to discuss difficult topics in a cross-disciplinary approach that leads to learning and understanding.
We invite four panelists who are given two to three prompt questions ahead of time. After panelists have an opportunity to discuss the prompt questions, audience participants can also ask questions and join the discussion.
The topic will be the issue of gentrification. We want to engage in dialogue about the effects that less affluent communities experience in the process of renovating urban areas. Come join us for good conversation, snacks, and chapel credit!
Contact Brianna Martin-Ortega (bmartinortega16@georgefox.edu) for more information.
