Come to Canyon Commons this Friday, Oct. 11, and share something you’re grateful for on our big bright-colored “Blooming Gratitude” poster. When you do, you will receive a flower and a blessing in the form of a Bible verse.

The Center for Peace and Justice invites you to a presentation by Elio Constantine, entitled “Journey of Hope,” on Thursday, Oct. 17, at 7 p.m. in Hoover 105.

In his presentation, Constantine will explore how we are called to live in justice and how a biblical approach to justice is applicable anywhere in the world. He will also address the root causes of injustices in Lebanon and the surrounding region.

Constantine is a Lebanese business professional working for Heart for Lebanon, a Christian organization focused on helping under-resourced families and children in Lebanon grow spiritually. He oversees the Middle East Center for Justice and Missions, which advocates for justice through Christian missions and provides training for future leaders.

The Middle East Center for Justice and Missions promotes a Christ-centered approach to injustice, advocacy, and hands-on training. It highlights Lebanon’s chronic injustices, arguing that true justice can only be found through faith in Jesus Christ.

Elio will be on campus all day on Thursday, Oct. 17. If you are interested in having him visit your class for a Q&A or to guest lecture, please contact twytsma@georgefox.edu for more information.

Join us tomorrow (Wednesday) in Hoover 250 from 11:15 to 11:45 a.m. for a time of worship, listening to God’s Spirit, and seeking to discern God’s truth together. Nathanael Ankeny will be hosting. Chapel credit will be offered.

Hello everyone, my name is Asher. Me and a fellow kinesiology student are looking for participants for our research study, and we need your help! If you’d like to volunteer, please fill out this Google Form giving consent to participate.

The study consists of three vertical jumps followed by a Wingate anaerobic test followed by another three vertical jumps. Our goal is to see if we can find an optimal time for post-activation potentiation (PAP). If you’re a kinesiology student and need added incentive, Amanda said she might offer some extra credit.

If you have questions, contact me at atroxell21@georgefox.edu.

We would really appreciate your help.
