So, what did Tolkien really think of Narnia? A presentation by Dr. Holly Ordway addresses the question – the first in a series of keynote lectures uploaded to a new YouTube channel featuring content from The Undiscovered C.S. Lewis Conference hosted on campus last fall. The event was the largest academic conference on Lewis in history (no exaggeration!).

Be sure to subscribe to the channel and stay tuned for other stimulating keynote lectures that will be added over the course of the next few weeks, one per week. You can also help promote it by sharing the channel, liking the video, and sharing the video.

The university pastors invite you to drop into the chapel for prayer any day during finals week between 10 a.m. and noon. A pastor will be there to pray with you if you need, or you can pray individually. There will be no program, just open time to pray.

Do you like to be entertained and support your friends? The Fox Film Festival is your event! Come join us for a night of friends, fun and films. There are two nights of the festival, and the same films will be shown at each. On Saturday, April 26, we’ll host an awards ceremony following the viewings.

Here is the schedule:

• Saturday, April 26, 6 p.m. in Bauman Auditorium. Admission is free; an awards ceremony will follow.

Our cinematic arts students have been hard at work all year creating short films in a variety of courses. The films fall into several categories, including live action, animated, fresh film (made by first-year students), narrative, documentary/nonfiction, as well as some featured alumni films!

Come out on one or both of the nights to support your fellow Bruins on our last weekend of the semester. If you have any questions, please reach out to the Fox Film Festival email at filmfestival@georgefox.edu. Can’t wait to see you all there!

Keep celebrating Earth Day and God’s creation with two service opportunities this week. Last week a small but mighty volunteer crew from George Fox helped remove sod from the site of a new community garden. Come help us finish clearing the area, plant laurel at the perimeter, and build garden beds this week!

Any help is much appreciated. The address is 501 Mission Drive (Newberg Peace Garden). The sooner beds are built, the sooner produce can start to be grown, which will benefit people in our community who use the Bruin Community Pantry.

Dates:

• Thursday, April 24, 3:30 to 6 p.m.
• Saturday, April 26, 9 a.m. to noon
