The Daily Bruin

This Sunday is the start of Holy Week – the week when the Christian church remembers the events leading up to the resurrection of Jesus. To invite you into reflection on Jesus’ journey to the cross and the good news of Easter Sunday, the spiritual life office has posted a week-long Bible reading plan on our webpage for your convenience.

Our hope is that as you follow Jesus’ journey to the cross and wait with expectancy for Easter Sunday, that you will encounter God’s love for you and presence with you.

FoxTALE will be unavailable from 6 to 8 a.m. (Pacific Time) on Wednesday, March 28, for scheduled maintenance. We apologize for any inconvenience.

A George Fox student developing a card game is seeking a student well-versed in graphic/digital illustration (Photoshop, Illustrator) to create card, character and box art for the card game.

Plans call for the product to go on Kickstarter next year. This would be a good opportunity for art majors to expand their portfolio. There will be monetary compensation for the work, given that it is a large project. It will be a bonus if you know about strategy card games.

Contact Brandon Seeger at bseeger15@georgefox.edu to find out more about this project.

Wednesday, April 4, marks the 50-year anniversary of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Inspired by the #rally2endracism initiative of the National Council of Churches (rally2endracism.org), a service of commemoration and commitment will be held at the George Fox Centennial Tower from 4:45 to 5:15 p.m. that day.

We invite all community members to attend, even if you have to arrive a few minutes late after the work or school day.

2. If you aren’t taking your bike home, please put it in your dorm room or apartment to avoid tempting potential thieves while you are gone.
3. Stop your mail and newspaper if you are living off-campus, or have a friend pick them up and put away your trash bins.
4. Leave lights on timers in your off-campus residence, and consider leaving talk radio playing.
5. Lock up all valuables and don’t leave them in sight of a window!
6. If you are leaving your car here on campus, park it by a parking lot overhead light in your assigned lot and take ALL your belongings out and LOCK IT!
7. Don’t forget your ID card, room key, and desired belongings, as dorms will be locked at noon on Saturday until Easter Sunday afternoon.
8. Have fun and stay safe!
