The Daily Bruin

Fall Retreat is this weekend! Did you register?

The theme for this year’s retreat is R E S T, which comes from Mark 6:31, where Jesus says, “Let’s go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile.” We will spend the weekend learning to lean into the belief that God is the ultimate provider of rest.

The retreat will be Nov. 9-11 at Twin Rocks Camp. This will be a time carved out especially for you and your needs in this busy season. There will be worship, a speaker, fun activities and fellowship with one another.

For more info or if you have questions, go to this link under the “Get Involved” tab. To register and pay, follow this link.

We hope you can make it! Faculty, please tell your students about this opportunity.

For more information, contact SpIL (spirituallife@georgefox.edu).

We are in need of actors for a mini-documentary that explores spiritual abuse in the church today and what churches are doing to prevent this form of abuse. We have collected stories from people about their experiences, but for safety purposes, we don’t wish to feature them in the film.

To portray them, we’re looking for voice actors who can capture the emotions these people felt. They will be filmed in a silhouette setting, so even if you do not match the target age for a certain role, it is still possible your voice could fit what we are looking for.

These are the roles:

• Man: (30s or 40s), must be able to portray anger, concern and determination in voice
• Woman: (mid 20s), must be able to portray isolation, depression and anxiety in voice
• Woman: (30s), must portray grief, anger and depression in voice
• Girl: (High school, young 20s), must portray confusion, guilt and shame in voice

We also have two non-speaking roles in which an actor will be seen in our film:

• Man: (late 20s or in 30s), must act curious and melancholy
• Woman: (20s), needs to act like a doll or puppet

Only one day of filming will be required for each part. The auditions will be held in Lemmons 4 from 6 to 8 p.m. on Thursday Nov. 8. Each person will receive 15 minutes. Please contact Rebekah Springsteel at rspringsteel15@georgefox.edu if you are interested.

Please join us at 7:30 p.m. this Thursday, Nov. 8, in Hoover 105 for a night of Spoken Word. The topic will be “You and I.”

Today we are extremely divided because of gender, race, religion, culture, politics, opinions, etc. This theme was chosen to highlight the division among us, as well as to discuss some ways we can mend the division we have created.

We are still looking for creatives, poets, rappers, quiet souls, etc. to share their truth (we would love for you to stick with the theme, but you have full creative freedom).

Questions/ interested in performing? Contact Tanner Aliff (taliff15@georgefox.edu) or Kaheela Reid (kreid15@georgefox.edu).
