Today will be Trisha Welstad’s last Tuesday preaching, so you won’t want to miss it! She will be ending our series on “Finding Your Voice,” but that doesn’t mean your journey stops there. We would love to talk with you after service, or you can set up an appointment with Trisha or the SpIL team if you have any questions about what it looks like to find your voice.

Once again this week, we’ll have a time after service where you can come hang out with Trisha and have lunch together in Canyon Commons. If you have any burning questions for Trisha or just want to say hi, meet up by the front of the stage at the end of chapel.

We are so excited to have a wonderful worship time and meaningful message! We’ll see you at 10:40 a.m. in Bauman Auditorium!

The university and the community are invited to the 2017 Fall Faculty Lecture, “Earth, Solar Wind and Sun,” featuring Bob Hamilton, PhD, professor of physics, and recipient of the 2016-17 Undergraduate Faculty Achievement Award for Research and Scholarship.

Join us tonight (Tuesday) for the presentation. The lecture runs from 6 to 7 p.m. in Hoover 105. Hamilton will discuss the recent eclipse and how this rare sight illustrates the sun’s intricate and dynamic role in shaping the larger, unseen environment of the earth. The sun shapes both the solar wind and the magnetic field which encompass our entire solar system. Highlights from research conducted by and with students at George Fox University will be presented using graphics and animations.

Prior to the lecture that evening, the 2017 Fall Richter Student Scholars Symposium will be held from 5 to 6 p.m. in the Hoover lobby. Student scholars from the university’s graduate and undergraduate programs will present their research in a conversational poster format. Refreshments will be provided by the Faculty Development Committee.
