Many of you may have noticed a layer of ash on your cars over the past couple days. This is related to the Oregon wildfires that are currently burning throughout the state. As a result, the air quality in this region is poor (especially for those with lung conditions such as asthma). It is recommended to avoid or exercise caution when exercising outside until conditions clear.
If you have questions or need to speak with a health care professional about concerns, please contact the university’s Health and Counseling Center at 503-554-2340.
Our International Chapel will meet on Thursdays each week from 5:30 to 7 p.m. This year we will meet in the the Prayer Chapel on campus. The format will be similar to last year. We will begin with an ethnic food meal together (no cost), followed by our chapel speaker and then some time for small-group discussion and prayer. Chapel credit is offered.
Each week we’ll host a different speaker from our campus community or local area. Alex Pia will be our chapel speaker this week and will talk about Scriptures he has found meaningful to him. All our chapel speakers this semester will also talk about selected Scriptures that they have found very meaningful.
It is a great time of coming together and being encouraged. All students are welcome!
