The Daily Bruin

Only 24 days left to RSVP, serve, log and validate your community service hours on the Helper Helper app in order to contribute toward your campus living area. The living area with the most hours logged by Sunday, March 31, will win a $500 prize end-of-the-year party, as well as five (Bauman) chapel credits for every volunteering participant.

Since this challenge began on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the race to get to the highest average of community service hours has grown tighter.

Here is the current challenge leaderboard:

• First place – HMS & the Suites: 5.44 hours of service per volunteer
• Second place – Penn & Newlin Halls: 4.50 hours/volunteer
• Third place – Le Shana & Gulley: 4.00 hours/volunteer
• Fourth place – Houses & Apts: 3.90 hours/volunteer
• Fifth place – Brandt & Edwards: 3.79 hours/volunteer
• Sixth place – Commuters: 3.28 hours/volunteer

It’s really anybody’s game at this point!

So, make sure to carve out time in your schedule to check out volunteer service opportunities on the Helper Helper app, check in, show up, and log those hours. If you know of more volunteer opportunities that should be added to Helper Helper to promote to our campus, please don’t hesitate to let us know at spirituallife@georgefox.edu.

We truly hope this Spring Faith Into Action Challenge helps you all encounter Christ in unexpected and deeper ways through serving others in the surrounding community!

Please join us for our Spring Diversity Dialogue with Jason Fileta on Wednesday, March 20, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. in Hoover 103.

We will learn more about how we live in a time when diversity-focused courses, curricula, and programs are being eliminated from educational institutions and corporations. Many of those that remain are entirely detached from a broader context of racial justice.

How should followers of Christ approach this moment and these issues? This presentation will look to Scripture for a Kingdom approach to diversity and justice.
