The city of Newberg will limit Fulton Street to one lane today (Tuesday). Flaggers will be on hand to direct traffic, so expect major delays. Drivers are encouraged to use a different route, as the street will be one lane all day, starting at 7 a.m.

The closure will occur east of the Bauman parking lot entrance at the top of the hill, past Thomas Lane and the West Wheeler/Le Shana parking lot entrance. Cars will be able to enter the Le Shana lot from the east entrance off Fulton Street. It is unclear if there will be access to the Wheeler circle lot. Entrance to the Bauman parking lot will be unaffected.

Thank you for your patience as the city corrects an issue with a sewer line traveling across Fulton Street.

The 40-day period leading up to Easter, called Lent, begins tomorrow (Wednesday). The season of Lent beckons us to prepare our hearts for Easter by inviting us into confession of our need for a Savior and calling us into intimacy with God through practices that remind us of God’s character and presence.

The campus pastors will be offering an Ash Wednesday service to lead the community into the season of Lent on Wednesday at 7 p.m. in Bauman Auditorium during our usual Vespers chapel service. We will also offer a more informal Ash Wednesday service from 4 to 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday in the Prayer Chapel. All are welcome.

Our first Spoken Word event of the semester is happening at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 15, in EHS 102! Come join us and support our presenters as they share their pieces.

The Chaos is coming. Our very own canyon is hosting one of the most anticipated Olympic events of the new millennia: The Canyon Chaos Relays.

On Saturday, Feb. 17, at 10 a.m. the gun will go off and a horde of newly paired Valentines representing dozens of countries from around the world will race around the trail. They will battle for the title of Olympic Chaos Champion over one hour of racing.

Details:

• No one needs to preregister; just show up to be signed in and be given a country to represent.
• The course is a 0.9-mile loop run clockwise in the canyon. It starts running straight up the hill toward HMS.
• We’ll have a big fire going, warm beverages, music, and lots of cowbell for everyone to enjoy.
• Teams are of two and must alternate laps. Anyone who doesn’t have a partner we can pair with other singles.
• We have Winter Olympics-themed prizes for the first three places, and the first 36 people who sign up get cowbells to cheer with.
