We are excited to partner with the NWYM of Friends Churches to offer a digital conference on church planting today (Wednesday) at 5 p.m.
The main speaker will be Ed Stetzer, the Billy Graham Distinguished Chair of Church, Mission, and Evangelism at Wheaton College and Executive Director of the Billy Graham Center at Wheaton College.

We will be pruning the trees on the quad all day today (Wednesday). Proper pruning assists each tree to grow in a configuration that is most ideal for the best structural integrity of the tree.
Maintaining the trees’ structure helps to mitigate the risks of broken limbs and falling branches. Areas around the trees will be marked off; for your safety, we ask that you do not walk within those areas.
Students who need to leave their vehicles on campus during winter break must fill out the Vehicles Left on Campus Policy Form, agreeing to the requirements. This form is available on the George Fox website.
This form must be completed before you leave campus, and you must leave a key with Campus Public Safety before leaving your vehicle on campus.
Questions? Call Campus Public Safety at 503-554-2090 or email Elrike Shaw (eshaw@georgefox.edu).
This event will be held via Zoom, not under the tennis court tents as originally planned.

If you have a class in Ross or Bauman, be advised that there will be no heat in the buildings this week. A part failed on Friday, Nov. 6 that affects the heating system.
The part has been ordered but is shipping from the east coast. The repair will be coordinated with an outside vendor, so we do not anticipate heat in the buildings until early next week. Please bundle up if you are in these buildings.
Questions? Contact Dixie Downey (ddowney@georgefox.edu). Thank you for your patience!
