All are invited to join us for International Chapel today (Friday) from 10:40 to 11:30 a.m. in the International Center/Cultural House. This week, Maria Tang will share what it means to know God in her life. Maria has been a friend of George Fox international students for many years.

James Project, our student-led community service outreach ministry, is going out to serve 5 Rock Ranch this Saturday, Feb. 1.

Who: 5 Rock Ranch is a James Project favorite. Located outside of Yamhill, 5 Rock is a beautiful ranch and ministry dedicated to “restoring faith, hope and love to the fatherless and the floundering through Jesus Christ.” (Check out more about their ministry here: 5rockranch.com).

What: They need our help splitting wood, possibly building something for some little chicks that were donated, and other chores around the ranch.

Time: It’s going to be a bit of a longer day, serving from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. It takes about 40 minutes to drive out to the ranch, so meet in the OMC office at 7:50 a.m. SHARP!

*Lunch, tools, gloves, etc will all be provided!

Please, RSVP to mdagostini11@georgefox.edu if you’re interested in joining us this Saturday! It’s going to be awesome.
