As our security officers patrol around campus, they have been seeing some creative parking!
Reminder: If you are parking on the street, your car must be facing the same direction as the lane of traffic next to you. When parking in a George Fox parking area, there must be a striped line on either side of your vehicle. For example, you may not park along the curbs in the Le Shana or Newlin parking lots. You are not permitted to park against building sides, walls, or by creating a new space.
Did you know that the Newberg police can fine you $110 for parking the wrong way on a city street or yellow curb fire zone, and $435 for parking in a handicapped spot (including hash-marked areas) without a valid state-issued handicapped permit?
Questions? Please check the parking regulations on our webpage or call the Campus Public Safety office at 503-554-2090.
Want to play a game that is kind of like baseball, but has five bases instead of three, first base can be stolen, there are no foul balls, and you can peg the runners? That game is called townball, and a group of students are playing it every Sunday at 3 p.m. by the Morse Athletic Fields.
Anyone and everyone is welcome to come and play; no baseball experience is required. Bring water, a glove if you have one, and your friends!

Join George Fox employee Hannah Butler for Alpha on Wednesdays. These meetings are held from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the Chehalem Cultural Center’s Room 201.
Alpha is a weekly meeting centered around a free dinner and open dialogue. It provides a series of videos and discussions to explore the basics of Christian faith.
Alpha runs over eight weeks and everyone is welcome. There is no obligation to say anything and there’s nothing you can’t say or ask. It’s an opportunity to hear from others, ask questions, and contribute your perspective in an honest, friendly and non-judgmental environment.

All are invited as the William Penn Honors Program hosts Ray Barfield to lecture on “Seeking God in the Ruins: A Pediatric Oncologist’s Story of Finding Beauty and Hope Amidst Suffering and Death.” The lecture will be held in Canyon Commons 101 at 7 p.m. this Thursday, Sept. 26.
Barfield will share how it’s not so much the absence of suffering, but rather our response to it, that fosters wholeness.
Ray Barfield is a pediatric oncologist and palliative care physician. He lost his Christian faith after witnessing the suffering of children with cancer. Although he later returned to Christianity, his doubts transformed his perspective on human flourishing.
Prior to the lecture, a panel event, “A Clinician’s Guide to Re-Conceptualizing Death, Dying, and Suffering: The Art of Practicing Thoughtful and Compassionate Care,” will take place that afternoon in Canyon Commons from 3 to 4:30 p.m. Joining Barfield at that event will be Pam Fifer and Daniel Kang from George Fox, and Kristen Lakis from the Duke University Health System.
