All are invited to participate in the university’s Community Garden. We’re going to meet for an information and work day this Saturday, May 14, from 1 to 3 p.m. We’ll talk about when we want to meet regularly throughout the summer and what we want to plant this year. We’ll plant some things and continue working to build up beds and get the garden space ready to go.
If you want to participate in the garden but can’t come on Saturday, contact Cherice Bock (cbock@georgefox.edu) to be put on the email list and learn about future gatherings.
We meet weekly throughout the summer, usually on a weekday evening, including a potluck meal.
The cost is $10 per student and $15 per adult (children free) for those who can contribute. This covers seeds and seedlings.
You’re welcome to come to this meeting and check it out, without making a commitment to joining for the whole summer. The garden is located in the field on the corner of Villa and Crestview streets.

The Office for Spiritual and Intercultural Life is looking for post-college Life Group leaders for our eight-week Fall Life Groups (the weeks of Sept. 19 to Nov. 7.)
Life Groups are small groups of undergraduate students who meet together for prayer, Bible study and fellowship. Groups meet weekly for 60 to 90 minutes at the time and location of your choosing. Participants will select the group they wish to participate in based on the details that leaders provide.
Groups are encouraged to use one of three curriculum options recommended by the Office for Spiritual and Intercultural Life that parallel other themes that are being explored in chapel. We welcome our employees, alumni, family members of George Fox employees and students, and members of our wonderful local churches to consider leading a group.
Our fall leader meeting will take place on Wednesday, Sept. 7, from noon to 1:30 p.m., and lunch will be provided. For more information and to sign up, visit our webpage.
