Interested in getting involved with a homeless ministry? Urban Services gives you the opportunity to do just that! The Salem ministry meets at 5 p.m. on both Friday and Saturday in the SUB, and the Portland ministry meets at 5:30 p.m. also in the SUB. Come find out what it is like to serve the homeless and to build relationships with them!
This coming Friday and Saturday we are expecting more than 400 additional high school students and parents to join us during Scholarship Competition. They will be eating lunch in Klages between 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. on Friday and approximately noon on Saturday.
So, we’d like to ask as many of our regular students not to come for lunch until after 12:30 p.m. on Friday in order to avoid most of the crowds. On Saturday, if at all possible, please arrive and leave before noon or after 1 p.m.
In order to accommodate all of these visitors as well as our regular students, we also will be serving both these meals on disposable paper plates and would like to encourage all George Fox students to take their meals out of the dining room those days so that we have enough room for our visitors. The Cap and Gown Room will be available for overflow.
Thanks for your help and let’s all work to make this a good experience for our visitors and prospective students. By the way, because of this, burger day will be on Thursday.

How does our relationship to the land affect our relationship to God and to others? That is the central question of the Spring Theological Conference this week, Monday through Wednesday (Feb. 7-9).
Join this important discussion at the following events:
Student Financial Services would like you to know what is needed for SFS clearance for housing deposits.
1. Your student account must be paid in full. If on a payment plan, your February payment must be received and any amount not covered by your payment plan must be paid.
2. Regardless of who pays your deposit, you (the student) must stop by SFS (First floor of the Stevens Center). If accepted, we will give you a Housing Deposit Confirmation slip. Without this, your deposit has not been recorded.
3. A payment received in any other way won’t be processed as a deposit and instead it will overpay the account or pay your next monthly payment. We routinely refund over-payments so if you get a refund check you are not expecting, stop by our office!
