Join us on Saturday, Aug. 17, from 10 to 11:30 a.m. as we host our inaugural Prayer for Oregon Schools event by the Centennial Tower in the quad! We will engage in a time of worship, small-group and/or individual prayer, and fellowship.
Bring your family and friends (as well as something to sit on) as we pray for the upcoming school year. We’ll pray for our K-12 and higher ed students, faculty, staff, parents, school communities, boards, leaders and more.
It’s our hope that people will join us as we step out in faith as the church and prayerfully invite the Lord into this area that needs more light – our Oregon schools. The event is open to anyone who has a desire to come collectively in prayer and bring our schools and the people who are in them to the feet of Jesus.
A guided prayer booklet will also be available for those interested in additional points of prayer for the event. Please do not hesitate to contact Sara Hahn-Huston, assistant professor of educational leadership in the College of Education, at shahnhuston@georgefox.edu for more information, or if you would like a digital postcard invitation to share with friends.
