Finding a church home while you are away at college is such an important source of refreshment, soul care, and a natural place to serve. The Office for Spiritual and Intercultural Life offers an online directory of local churches.

If the campus pastors can help you navigate this list, please don’t hesitate to pull us aside after chapel, swing by our office, or email us at spirituallife@georgefox.edu.

Swing dancing is happening tonight (Saturday) in the FoxHole! The beginner lesson starts at 6:30 p.m., and the intermediate lesson starts at 7 p.m. No prior dancing experience is needed!

We hope to see you there! Contact Michael Rooney (mrooney14@georgefox.edu) with any questions.

Serve Day is Wednesday, Sept. 14. Students in on-campus living communities will receive an email with their Serve Day placement on Monday. Commuters who signed up for a specific Serve Day project will also receive a confirmation via email on Monday. Commuters who have not signed up for a particular project may meet at Bauman to get grouped with a great site for the day.

All students eat free on Serve Day. Please swing by Canyon Commons from 7 to 8:10 a.m. to pack your breakfast and lunch. Return to the quad to eat breakfast, drink coffee, and prepare for the Kickoff Celebration. Teams will depart from the quad.

A Grandpa Roy Memorial display has been constructed near the front desk of the Murdock Learning Resource Center (library).

Are you an undergraduate female considering vocational ministry? Each month we grab lunch together – undergrad women considering professional ministry and faculty/administrator women who have been in professional ministry for a long time. It’s really casual and a fun way to connect with each other.

If you’d like to be a part of this on a regular or semi-regular basis, email University Pastor Jamie Noling-Auth (jnolingauth@georgefox.edu) and we’ll add you to the invite list so you know when we are gathering and where we’ll be.

Courtesy warning tickets have been issued to tell you to register or that you are incorrectly parked, and real tickets will now be issued on Monday. If you haven’t yet registered, you need to do that immediately and print out the temporary permit from the link that will be emailed to you, then place it on your dashboard until your permit arrives to the mailing address you indicated.

If you registered and never received a confirmation email or link for a temporary permit, please come to the security office so we can check to see if your registration went through and is in process. A copy of the parking brochure will arrive with your actual permit, but please check this link to make sure you are parking where your permit allows.

If you have a new car that doesn’t have its new plates yet, register the temporary trip permit number in the license plate field, and when your new plates arrive, email the license plate number to Nadine Kincaid at nkincaid@georgefox.edu and she can override the database and input them on your registration.

Questions about registration or where to park? Call 503-554-2090 during office hours or email Nadine and we’d be glad to answer your questions!

Life Group sign-ups are open! Life Groups are small groups of six to eight students and a leader who meet weekly for 60 to 90 minutes to grow in relationship with Jesus, pray together, and enjoy friendship with each other.

Groups begin meeting the week of Sept. 19 and end the week of Nov. 11. You can sign up online at this link.

You are invited to attend and help spread the word for a six-week leadership workshop that is being hosted by athletics. You don’t have to be an athlete or coach to be part of Bruins LEAD. It is simply an opportunity to develop your leadership skills.

We will take basic leadership concepts and spend one hour diving into details of how to develop responsible and respected leaders.

Each week, you will get to hear from one of our coaches on the following topics:

• Sept. 15 – Neal Ninteman on “Exploring Leadership and How to Get and Keep Yourself Motivated”
• Sept. 22 – Marty Hunter on “Confidence and Composure”
• Sept. 29 – Maco Hamilton on “How to Conduct Yourself With Class and Servant Leadership”
• Oct. 13 – Mike Meek on “How to Inspire Your Team and How to Build Winning Team Chemistry”
• Oct. 20 – Branden Thompson on “How to Get Your Teammates Back on Track”
• Oct. 27 – Jessica Hollen on “How to Manage Team Conflict”

All sessions take place from 8:40 to 9:40 a.m. in Hoover 102.

While some of the content may be specific to athletics and teams, we feel strongly that every person will end up working in a team at some point in their lives and this information can be relevant for everyone on campus.

Thursday, Sept. 15, is our first session. We would love to see you there!

Probably most important … there will be snacks!
