The Bruins host Whitman College and Whitworth University in what are sure to be their biggest basketball home games of the season! Mark your calendars and arrive early to make sure you have a place in the stands to see these big games.
Join us tomorrow night (Thursday), as Bill Cahoy, former dean of the Saint John’s Seminary and School of Theology, makes a colorful presentation on the artistic character and spiritual impact of The Saint John’s Bible. The event, titled “The Theology, Art and Imagination of The Saint John’s Bible,” runs from 7:30 to 8:50 p.m. in Hoover 105.
Cahoy presided over the project’s conception and development, and this is the premier event in the university’s second year with The Saint John’s Bible. It is also a part of the school’s 125th anniversary celebration. Chapel credit is available, and refreshments will be provided.
Contact Paul Anderson at panderso@georgefox.edu with any questions.
George Fox students and employees are again playing a key role in making “Night to Shine,” a prom for those with special needs, happen. It’s scheduled from 5 to 9 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 10, at Newberg Christian Church (2315 Villa Road).
The Newberg community will host this special night for the third year in a row, along with other churches across the nation. Come join us for a night of fun, complete with a dinner, dancing, laser tag, limo rides, hair, makeup, shoe shining, karaoke and more!
We are looking for buddies for our guests as well as many other volunteers. Email Katlyn Kronschnabl (katlyn@newbergcc.org) if interested!
Help save a life by donating blood through the Red Cross tomorrow (Thursday). The blood drive will be held from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the Roberts Center.
Sign up for an appointment online at redcrossblood.org. Walk-in appointments also will be available. Contact Jessica Roy (jroy13@georgefox.edu) with any questions.
A Cruzer flash drive was turned in to the lost and found, and there are a LOT of photos on it that we are certain somebody is missing!
There are photos that appear to be of South America (Bolivia or Peru?), maybe Central America and a “Welcome to Zambia” sign, as well as family photos of a wedding and family groups, etc. The photos are dated 2014 and 2015.
If this sounds like it belongs to you, come to the security office to check out the photos!
Thank you all for your overwhelming response to the “I’m glad you are my neighbor†campaign. We’ve sold 165 of the first 200 T-shirts printed. We ordered 100 more shirts to ensure we have some of each size to offer. So, if you haven’t had a chance to place your order, there’s still time. You can order here. Also, there are plenty of signs left.
Shirts ordered by Monday, Jan. 16, are available at the Roberts Center for pick-up this afternoon. We are processing shirt and sign requests as quickly as possible between classes. Because of the great response, shirt orders will be available for pick-up at the Roberts Center front desk daily (not just on Monday afternoons as originally communicated).
Hope to see you at the “I’m glad you are my neighbor†Vigil & Day of Action this Sunday, Jan. 22. The vigil starts at 2 p.m. at Newberg Friends Church (307 S. College St.). The march begins at 3:30 p.m. in Francis Square at the corner of East First and North College streets.
Shalom friends,

The time commitment is from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The more Sundays you are available, the better, but even one Sunday is better than none. If you are certified to drive a personal vehicle or willing to become certified, and would like to join us in this ministry, please contact us at UrbanOutreachGFU@gmail.com.
