The season of Advent is upon us, and the Office of Spiritual Life has partnered with faculty and students to publish the 2019 Advent Project. This daily reader is designed, written and created by people in the George Fox community and is intended to point us toward Christ as we await his birth.

Feel free to share it with friends, family and your faith community. Additionally, we will be sending a video at the beginning of each week to introduce each topic (hope, peace, joy and love). We hope it is helpful to you in some form as we celebrate this season of Advent together.

The volleyball and lacrosse teams are joining forces to sell Christmas ornaments as a fundraiser. They are George Fox-branded in navy or silver.

Interested? You can pick them up in the athletics office, or we’ll even hand-deliver them to your office up to Friday, Dec. 20! They are $8 each; if you buy three, a fourth ornament is free.

We accept cash, a check or Venmo. Email Emily Davis at edavis@georgefox.edu with questions or to place an order.

Don’t forget that the Bruin Store buys back books year-round! Bring your student ID and the textbooks you no longer need, and if we can buy them, you will leave with cash in hand.

If you rented books for fall semester through the Bruin Store, the last day to check those books back in is Friday, Dec. 13. Please bring them to the Bruin Store (along with your student ID) during business hours to avoid any late, processing, or non-return fees.

Did you find the book you need but Amazon sells it for less? No worries! Just show us that the same book is being sold and shipped from Amazon, and we will be happy to match the price.

To avoid injuring our cleaning service team, please dispose of any items with sharp edges in the outside bins or contact the Plant Services office for disposal.

Do not place broken items in the indoor bins. The indoor trash bags are not strong enough to create an effective barrier against sharp edges. Thank you!
