The Center for Peace and Justice invites the community to hear from alumna Davy Desmond from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 20, in the religious studies lounge. Davy, a double major at George Fox in economics and international studies, has focused her energies on serving the poor, working the past few years with Orphan Relief and Rescue. Currently, she is working to establish a thriving ministry in Uganda.

After speaking at GFU she will leave for Uganda on Oct. 1, where she will partner with Show Mercy International. For 70 days she will work in “Hope Children’s Home,” home to more than 100 children, and will also help build the “Field of Dreams,” a 25-acre plot of land designated for ministry (a school, a clinic and a church).

Please join us Tuesday. Questions? Contact Melanie Newell at mnewell@georgefox.edu.

The short film Beautiful, a story about discovering one’s unique beauty as a woman of God, is having auditions this Saturday, Sept. 17, at 3 p.m. in the university’s Media Center on the Newberg campus. It is a statement video about expressing beauty as a woman and not being afraid of it or just copying what the media portrays as beautiful.

Two roles are being cast:

• A young woman (18-26 years old) who is very conservative in the ways she expresses her beauty and tends to go unnoticed in large crowds and tries to be invisible.
• A second young woman (18-26 years old) who is very elaborate and flashy in the ways she expresses her beauty and tends to be judged in the Christian community because of what she wears.

Shooting will be conducted the weekend of Oct. 7-9 in Newberg. There is no pay, but meals will be provided during the shoot, a DVD copy will be given after completed, and a great seat at our premiere will be reserved for you.

If interested, please show up between 3 and 4 p.m. at the Media Center. If you have any questions or concerns, please e-mail the producer, Carissa Hoffman, at choffman09@georgefox.edu.
