The Daily Bruin

Do you like superheroes? Supervillains? Or webcomics unrelated to superpowers?

If so, then we have the perfect place for you: Fox’s very own Comic Book Club! Whether you’ve been reading comics all your life or you’ve never seen one in person, all are welcome.

Join us during our welcome event tonight (Friday) for the chance to win superhero-themed prizes (such as stickers, a mini Frisbee, and a poster), learn about upcoming events and news, share comic recommendations, and meet others with similar interests! Snacks and juice are always provided.

We will be meeting biweekly in Hoover 207 at 7 p.m. A Zoom option is available as well.

On Sunday night, the offices of The Contingent, the organization George Fox partners with for Foster Parents Night Out, Every Child Oregon, Act Six, and MyNeighbOR, was broken into and ransacked, resulting in a significant loss of possessions and damaged property.

Among the stolen items were thousands of dollars of gift cards and items that were intended for crisis response for the children and families they serve.

The Office for Spiritual Life would like to invite our campus to serve and encourage this longtime partner by collecting gift cards ($10-$50 to Amazon, Target, Fred Meyer, etc.) so they might continue their important work even while they recover from this major setback.

If you are able, please bring gift cards to the SpiL (Barclay) House or send them through campus mail anytime between now and Thursday, Feb. 11.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us at spirituallife@georgefox.edu.

Thank you!

What emotions do you struggle with? Is it paralyzing fear, red-hot anger, or deep sadness? Our emotions offer so much vitality for life, but when we are not in right relationship with them, they can cut us off from ourselves, others and God.

On Friday, Feb. 18, join Michael Simmons for an online course, “Companioning Our Shadow: Emotions & Relationships.” Simmons will explore practices and tools for companioning our shadow, particularly surrounding our emotions and how they impact our relationships. This course is a space to invite Christ to meet our hidden parts and deepen the healing process.

The course will be offered via Zoom from 9 to 11 a.m. The cost is $39, and the Zoom link will be provided. You can register here if interested.

Simmons, a doctoral student at Portland Seminary and an ordained elder in the Free Methodist Church, is a spiritual director and retreat facilitator, and he serves on the leadership team with Companioning Center and the board of Deep Water, a local community that provides tools, processes and sacred space for women and men to heal.

Questions? Contact Simmons at msimmons@georgefox.edu.
