The Daily Bruin

Please mark your calendars for this Wednesday, Oct. 16, after evening chapel. At 8:40 p.m. in the Bauman Greenroom, we’ll host a 30- to 45-minute event to focus on what’s involved with Youth Ministries and the Little Bruins program! Food and drinks will be provided.

We’ll be brainstorming, discussing youth ministries, and signing up for “project teams” for planning parties and events. “Project teams” are Outreach Ministries’ new way of doing committees in which you can sign up to help out in a specific way (like planning events, picking out supplies, or decorating for a party).

We’d love to have you, and did I mention food?

Contact Sydney Thiessen (sthiessen12@georgefox.edu) if you have any questions.

Winter Serve applications are now open! We are sending teams to Colorado to help with flood relief; Portland; Twin Rocks; Puyallup, Wash.; and Tacoma, Wash. The teams leave the last week of winter break, Jan. 4-11.

The application will be open until Nov. 1. Priority will be given to applications submitted first. No late applications will be accepted.
