Stuart, a 1972 alumnus of George Fox, has dedicated his life to promoting peace and reconciliation during complex humanitarian crisis events. He will speak on restoring hope to the most vulnerable during chapel in Bauman Auditorium at 10:50 a.m.

The evening event, at 7 p.m. in Hoover 105, is open to the community. Stuart will share real-life stories about his courageous work as a disciple of Christ serving the world. He will also be presented the John Woolman Peacemaking Award for his lifetime of international humanitarian service to those who have been marginalized by and suffered from war and oppression.

Yes, for only the second time in history postage rates decreased as of yesterday, April 10, 2016 (for the first time since 1919, when postage rates decreased from 3 cents to 2 cents).

New postage rates

• Domestic 1-ounce letter: 47 cents (formerly 49 cents)
• Postcard: 34 cents (formerly 35 cents)
• International 1-ounce letters and postcards: $1.15 (formerly $1.20)

But what about the stamps I already have?
Your “Forever” stamps that you purchased for 49 cents each are now worth 47 cents. If you buy a “Forever” stamp after April 10, the cost to you is 47 cents. Stamps that have a printed denomination on them will still be worth whatever price is marked on the stamp.

All Priority shipping prices remain the same . . .   but First Class packages, Media, Standard Post and Library prices are all decreasing. Be sure to stop at Mail Services and have a trained clerk help you with your shipping needs.

Please email Linda Sartwell at lsartwel@georgefox.edu if you have questions.

Join the Doctor of Physical Therapy program on the evening of Saturday, April 16, for our second annual Glow in the Dark 5k/10K Neon Night Run!

The 5K cost is $30 for adults and $20 for students/children; the 10K cost is $40 for adults and $30 for students/children. Each participant will receive a free T-shirt, glow stick/paint, and a free black light photo booth picture. The event begins at the Roberts Center.

With your support, the physical therapy program will be able to send 19 students and six faculty on a service trip to Africa (both Uganda and Ghana) to provide physical therapy services to children and adults living without basic healthcare access.

The group going to Ghana will be partnering with Green Hills Health Science School to teach sections of their PT curriculum in order for them to become accredited. The group going to Uganda will primarily be working with children with disabilities and assessing the functional changes they have made over the past year. Check out what we have done the past two years at this link.

Online registration now available! To register, go to glowforlife.org.

This short survey is for a business research project done by a student in Finance 490. The project is trying to discover if there’s a correlation between what a student expects they will earn in his/her future, and what that student may be spending now.

If you want to help with the project, please take a few minutes to fill out this easy questionnaire. Thanks and have a fantastic day!

The Gospel. Worship. Fun. Square 1 is a completely student-led chapel elective (meaning you get credit) designed to get back to the simple, core elements of faith in Christ, to start “back at square one.”

Tonight (Friday) we’ll meet at 6 p.m. in the Foxhole and shuttle over to the river! It’ll be pretty low-key, we’ll play around, have worship and time in the Word, and then come back for Mr. Bruin.

Hope you can make it!
