This exhibit features artwork of mixed media. His style, content and choice of media are varied, as he once said, “My work ranges from the sublime to the ridiculous; I like to play both sides of the street.” Please come celebrate Doug and his work’s return to the world of exhibition.

His presentation is the sixth in the “Majority World and the West” series.

Questions? Contact Brianna Provoast at bprovoast@georgefox.edu.

Have you ever thought about how science can prove or disprove the existence of God? What about the biblical and scientific views on the age of the earth and evolution? How did life begin? Where does morality come from?

If you’ve ever found yourself stuck at a crossroads where science and Christianity seem to clash, you’re in luck! This semester, a club devoted to thinking about and discussing the great divide between faith and science is starting up.

We will be planning movie nights and inviting speakers to George Fox to share their experiences interacting with both worlds. All are invited to join who are eager to learn more about the conflicts and compromises between these two viewpoints.

Interested? Please email Mckenna Tornblad at mtornblad14@georgefox.edu.

See the our main-stage fall comedy show for free! The theatre department needs ushers for Tartuffe.

We need a total of five ushers to help seat people and take tickets. It’s an easy volunteer job, and the best part is that the ushers can see the show for free if they agree to usher at least twice.

Show dates are Thursdays through Saturdays, Oct. 22-24 and Oct. 29-31, at 7:30 p.m. We also have a Sunday matinee at 2 p.m. on Nov. 1.

If you are interested, please email Lisa Leyendekker at lleyendekker14@georgefox.edu for details.

The university community is invited to a free lecture, titled “Faith, Work, Economics and Religious Freedom,” at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 13, in EHS 102. Presenting will be Hugh Whelchel, president of the Institute for Faith, Work & Economics and author of How Then Shall We Work.

Whelchel will address the Christian meaning of work and how the church lost sight of it. Central to his argument is that all work, not just missions and being a pastor, is important to God.
