The Daily Bruin

The Gospel. Worship. Fun. Square1 is a new 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.” From this starting point, there will be a lot of variety week-to-week: guest speakers/musicians, different locations and crazy games.

Bring a Bible and wear clothes that you can move in! There will also be board game tables for those who shy away from crazy. Our first meeting will be today (Friday), in the amphitheater at 6 p.m. Square1 will be held in the Cap and Gown Room if it rains.

To stay updated, join the Facebook page “Square1″ or email Daniel McCleskey at dmccleskey13@georgefox.edu.

The university community is invited to a series of “Turning the Page” sessions highlighting the Heritage Edition of the St. John’s Bible on campus. The series continues today (Friday) and each Friday through Oct. 16. Paul Anderson (Christian Studies) will speak about different sections of the Bible from 4 to 5 p.m. in the MLRC. Today’s session features the Prodigal Son, the “Twin Towers,” and God’s grace and forgiveness.

The Saint John’s Bible is the first completely handwritten and illuminated Bible to have been commissioned by a Benedictine Abbey (Saint John’s University in Collegeville, Minn.) since the invention of the printing press. The Heritage Edition of The Saint John’s Bible is the full-size fine art reproduction of the original.

More information is able available by contacting Anderson at panderso@georgefox.edu.
