Join the hair and makeup team for the fall drama ‘The Potting Shed’

Sunday, October 1st, 2023

Hello Bruins! We are looking for two to four people to join the hair and makeup team for the main-stage fall drama The Potting Shed. The role would involve being trained on 1950s hairstyles and theatre-aging makeup, then assisting actors with preparing for each performance.

If you’re interested in learning more about the styles of the 1950s, or experiencing a show behind the scenes, please email Linnaea Rusaw at lrusaw17@georgefox.edu.

We’d love to have you on board! Any and all majors welcome; no experience required.

Join your fellow students tomorrow night for community, teaching, discussion and worship

Sunday, October 1st, 2023

We believe that every student who comes to George Fox is hungry for an act of God in their lives, and we believe that community is vital in learning about and worshipping God.

Join us for our first “Satisfy George Fox” event tomorrow (Tuesday) in Canyon Commons:

  • 6:30 p.m. – Grab a plate from the Bon and join us for a meal if you have a meal plan, or bring a dish to share, potluck style.
  • 7:10 p.m. – Join us for a short teaching on bold prayer and how it relates to community.
  • 7:30 p.m. – Lastly, join us for discussion about the teaching or wherever else the Lord leads in small groups.

We hope to have a time of worship at the event as well, but are still in need of worship leaders! If you are interested in leading worship, please fill out this form.

This is a student-coordinated and led event, and therefore SPIL chapel credit will NOT be offered. We hope to cultivate a space for our peers who are hungry for community and for Jesus! All are welcome, from non-believers to lifelong believers.

Please RSVP here! Email Toby Klauder at tklauder21@georgefox.edu if you have any questions.
