Happy spring break! Square 1 will be on at its normal time tonight (Friday) at 6 p.m. in the Foxhole. Since there probably won’t be a ton of people, we’re just going to have a relaxed hangout time playing games and music and enjoying each other’s company. Feel free to bring a friend!

Spoken Word is back! Join the Latino Heritage Club on Wednesday, March 30, at 8:30 p.m. in Hoover 105. The event will take place during Cesar Chavez week.

The theme for the night is “I am Because we are | Soy Porque Somos.”

Similar to past events, performers can interpret this however they’d like. The poem can be centered around healing, community, unity, social justice, reconciliation and more. If you are interested in sharing a piece, email us at gfulhc@gmail.com. Questions about the event? Contact Jessica Rivera at jrivera12@georgefox.edu.

We welcome everyone to apply, so if you are interested in applying, please follow this link to fill out the application. The application is due April 1, and all of the positions available are linked in the application to be viewed.

If you have questions feel free to email Markayla Shattuck at mshattuck13@georgefox.edu.

Faculty, please tell your students about this opportunity.

The late Alan Rickman (known well for his role as Professor Snape) has said, “It’s a human need to be told stories.” Stories are a powerful tool that excite our imagination, shape our identities, and bring us hope.

Whether told through the mediums of book or film, stories deeply impact us. With the release of Son of God (2014), Noah (2014), Exodus: Gods and Kings (2014) and the most recent Risen (2016) and The Young Messiah (2016), the biblical story continues to powerfully shape society, the church and the film industry.

A May Term course, “The Bible and Cinema,” will involve discussion of movies and dialogue about some intriguing theological topics such as the afterlife (heaven, hell, angels and demons), community, redemption, violence and forgiveness. We are looking forward to seeing you at the movies!

Jenny and Art Matheny will serve as instructors. Classes will meet in Hoover 208 from 9 a.m. to noon daily between May 2-20. For more information, contact Paula Hampton at phampton@georgefox.edu or ext. 2650.

An Evening of Poetry, originally scheduled for tonight (Friday) in Minthorn 200, has been canceled. We apologize for the inconvenience. We will be hosting another reading in April.

Have a safe and fun spring break.
