Lip Sync is on February 4th (Thursday of Homecoming Week), at 7pm! ASC hopes to see you there!

 

This Friday, Jan. 22, will mark the 37th anniversary of Roe vs. Wade, a date which marked an important turning point in American history. There will be a display on the quad in remembrance of those missing from our generation.

Due to overall lack of student interest and participants signed up for this event, ASC Activities Committee has decided to cancel or postpone this event to another date. Whether the event is rescheduled is up to the students. If you feel the event should be continued or you would like to participate, email Sandra Turnbull (sturnbull05@georgefox.edu),

We feel that because of the lack of interest, a better use of ASC funds is necessary. If you have any questions please let an Activities Committee Member know, our goal is to create the best events for you!

Greenidge, a chapel worship leader and multicultural programs assistant, has taken the lead in making this day meaningful and impactful for our community. She will be performing with her family as they sing, speak and invite others to worship through gospel.

Her father, Timothy Greenidge, is a nationally known producer and audio designer. Also joining will be Courtney’s uncle and aunt, David and Deborah Greenidge. David  is senior pastor of Tigard Covenant Church and Deborah is the worship & arts pastor at Turning Point Christian Center in Vancouver, Wash.
