The Daily Bruin

Gathering around a fire in community to pray for people is one of the most precious ways to encounter God and encounter others, and we decided to do just that.

This Sunday, April 3, at 7 p.m., we’ll be taking the prayer requests from the Prayer Chapel and gathering together in the Pavilion in the canyon to worship, pray over the requests together, and enjoy community by the fireside. Come join us in this amazing opportunity! We’ll see you there.

Questions? Contact Amanda Kitz at akitz13@georgefox.edu.

After much thought and consideration, Lehman Pekkola has decided to step down from his elected VP position for the 2016-17 year. You can you read his statement here.

This means that the position of VP of marketing & communications is now open. If you would like to learn more and/or apply for the position, click on this link. Due to the timing, and according to the ASC Constitution, this will be a hired position rather than an elected one.

As always, we strive to be open and transparent with all of you and are doing our best to make this a swift and smooth transition. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at asc@georgefox.edu.

Thank you
