The Daily Bruin

Do you have neck, upper back, lower back or jaw pain? Our second-year doctor of physical therapy students are offering free orthopedic spine evaluations as they near the end of their didactic training.

Evaluations will be conducted by students under the supervision of a licensed physical therapist. All are encouraged to sign up, whether you are a George Fox employee, student or community member.

Sessions will be offered at different time slots between 8:15 a.m. and noon on Wednesday, April 16, in the Medical Sciences Building (448 Werth Blvd., in Newberg).

Take advantage of this opportunity to receive a thorough assessment at no cost! Contact Li-Zandre Philbrook at lphilbrook@georgefox.edu to schedule your evaluation.

Did you know that 20% of pro-life Americans self-identify as nonreligious? Groups like Secular Pro-Life and Pro-Life Humanists challenge the idea that pro-life beliefs are solely religious. Nevertheless, pro-life views remain most common among religious communities. Why is this?

Join us in EHS 102 tonight (Wednesday) at 7 p.m. as Jason Lepojärvi explores this thought-provoking question in a lecture, “Pro-Life Atheist: Oxymoron?”

Food banks are facing increasing difficulties in obtaining food due to a combination of factors, including rising food costs, supply chain disruptions, and a surge in demand as people struggle with inflation and the end of pandemic-related aid.

Due to these factors, the Bruin Community Pantry is facing a shortage of basic supplies that our students and community members rely on. We are in desperate need of grocery bags and certain shelf-stable items.

Here are some ways you can help:

• Donate targeted items to the food bank.
  • Soups
  • Chili
  • Oatmeal
  • Canned meals
  • Boxed meals (rice, pasta)
• Plan a food drive in your department. If you want to provide a prize for the winner, contact Jere Witherspoon for more information.
• Clean out your closet and bring in your grocery bags.
• Consider making a financial donation at this link.

Drop off your donated items at the food bank during our hours of operation.

For more information, please contact Jere Witherspoon at jwitherspoon@georgefox.edu.

Join us tomorrow (Wednesday) in the chapel from 11 to 11:30 a.m. for a time of worship, listening to God’s Spirit, and seeking to discern God’s truth together. Paul Anderson will be hosting. Chapel credit will be offered.

We need your help: We will be holding an auction fundraiser with dinner at 5 p.m. on Saturday, April 12, in Canyon Commons. Our auction has historically been the greatest contributor to funding our trip and will feature gifts generously donated by community members and businesses. We are looking for people to attend!

The money we earn from the auction will help pay for all travel, service, housing and resource expenses. For more information, check out our website at this link. If you are interested in obtaining tickets, you can purchase them here!

If you are interested in donating, attending, or have any questions, please reach out to us at georgefoxdptservice@gmail.com or call Micah Trevizu at 530-310-6202.

Join us in the chapel on Friday, April 11, for a special Resonate concert featuring singer-songwriter and recording artist Jon Guerra. The doors will open at 6 p.m., and the concert will begin at 6:30 p.m.

Jon’s debut album, Little Songs, was released in 2015. He also composed music for Terrence Malick’s 2019 film, A Hidden Life. His first album of devotional music is Keeper of Days, which was followed by Ordinary Ways in 2023.

One review concluded, “as timely as it is, Guerra’s Ordinary Ways is also absolutely timeless. It’s basic Christianity, basic trust, basic worship, humbly set to song. It’s a slice of one bard’s devotional life, yet it joins a chorus of awestruck praise that has been unceasing for centuries and will echo on in the heavenly throngs, world without end.” Jon Guerra’s new EP, American Gospel, is out now.

The Resonate banner flies over monthly seminars, ad hoc concerts, and biennial conferences organized by the George Fox Apologetics Initiative to showcase the goodness, truth, and beauty of Christianity. Join the Resonate mailing list here.

Dr. Abraham Nussbaum is the Chief Education Officer of Denver Health, where he provides strategic direction to the education of 3,000 learners in 38 healthcare professions annually.

Join the George Fox Rocket Team in watching the total lunar eclipse tonight (Thursday) at 10 p.m. in Wood-Mar 110. During a lunar eclipse, the Earth moves between the Sun and Moon, blocking most of the Sun’s light from reaching the Moon and turning it a dark red color.

There will be cherry pie and gluten-free strawberry pie available on a first-come, first-served basis. If it is clear enough, we will watch from outside, but if visibility is an issue due to weather, we will watch on a screen.  Bring a friend, and let’s celebrate this unique occurrence together!
