The Daily Bruin

A paving company will be repairing the potholes on Carlton Way tomorrow (Monday). They will be concentrating on the stretch of road between Sheridan Street and the south entrance to the Bauman parking lot.

As a result, Carlton Way will be closed in sections throughout the day. Pass- through traffic will be directed, and there will be delays. If you park along Carlton Way, please allow for extra time, as you may not have immediate access to your car.

Everyone on campus is invited to visit a free art exhibition featuring the work of Tim Timmerman, a professor of art and design here at George Fox.

The exhibit, “Allegory of Love,” remains up through Oct. 21 in the Lindgren Gallery in the Ross Center. The gallery will be open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

This exhibition features the paintings and assemblage work of Timmerman, who was moved by Paolo Veronese’s paintings, “Allegories of Love,” when traveling in Italy on Juniors Abroad.

Timmerman’s “Allegory of Love” contemplates how God can move and show up in our lives, and how encountering the divine is something we are invited into every day. In these pieces, Timmerman draws from both Old Testament narratives as well as stories from his own life.

For more information, contact Sarah Cuevas, exhibitions and collections assistant, at scuevas15@georgefox.edu.

As we continue week three of the academic year – the week when George Fox University typically holds our annual Serve Day – we invite you to participate in a campus-wide prayer effort on behalf of our surrounding community.

In lieu of our tangible expressions of service, this year we would love for you to pray specifically for one of the community organizations that we serve on Serve Day each year. This can include, but is not limited to, praying for their work, staff, and the populations they serve.

Please plan to offer prayers throughout the day tomorrow (Wednesday) as the Holy Spirit directs you.

If you would like us to match you with a partner site, please email us at spirituallife@georgefox.edu. Make sure to be on the lookout for more virtual service opportunities from the Office for Spiritual Life in the near future!
