The Daily Bruin

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.”

First Friday service is tonight (Friday) at 6 p.m. in the Cap and Gown Room. This is a dedicated time to pause from the stresses of life and remember the work of Jesus. We’ll spend time in worship with guest leaders Emily and Jordan, then open up a time for communion. After we’re done, we’ll play an awesome game involving balloons!

Wineskin submissions are due today (Friday)! Winners of each category will receive a $25 gift card.

To have a chance of being published in our student art and literary magazine, submit your wildnerness-themed art, photography, and creative writing to gfuwineskin@gmail.com.

A group of students need your input on a product we’re producing. If you would be willing to take two to three minutes to help, please click the link below.

The product is a phone case that has a locking device so that no one can get to your phone. The case also has a built-in wallet so you are able to put your credit cards and money in the case for safe keeping.

Please take time to fill out this short survey to tell the students what you think and how they can improve their product.
