On Wednesday, June 8, the employee community will be observing a Day of Prayer. The two-fold purpose for this day is:

• To begin the new fiscal year and academic year prayerfully attentive to God’s direction
• To encourage the spiritual well-being of the employee community

Details:

• Employees are encouraged to spend their usual work hours on Wednesday, June 8, in prayer and spiritual retreat.
• Employees are welcome to enjoy their prayer retreat on campus, off campus, in their homes, or at an alternate site.
• The university pastors will provide an optional video which can be used at the beginning of an employee’s prayer retreat as well as a devotional to guide employees through the day of prayer.

During the Day of Prayer, employees are encouraged to:

• Have conversation with God about their work
• Pray for their colleagues, students and the university
• Attend to their personal soul care, talking with God about their own lives of faith, and experiencing the ministry of the Spirit

During the Day of Prayer, employees are discouraged from:

• Using this prayer retreat day for team meetings/in-services
• Doing other work (responding to emails, working on projects, meeting with people, etc.)
• Keeping their cell phones on/active
• Using the day as a vacation day. This is a soul care day, which may look a lot like a vacation day (a walk in the woods, journaling, reading, etc.) but should have an intentional spiritual formation focus and be directed by God.

If you have any questions, please contact the Office for Spiritual Life at spirituallife@georgefox.edu.

All university offices in Newberg and at regional sites will be closed this Monday, May 30, to observe the Memorial Day holiday.

This week we conclude our financial wellness series with helpful information about investing, identity theft protection, flexible spending, and health savings accounts.

For my PsyD dissertation at George Fox, I have created a workshop to prevent and treat burnout in Christian women. There is not currently any published program for burnout specifically for women in ministry, and I am passionate about creating one.

The workshop is free for women to join, and they will receive evidence-based treatment that may otherwise be expensive (approximately a $350 value). The time commitment is one hour weekly over Zoom for six weeks, between May 25 and July 2. The study is open to all women who are part of formal and informal ministries such helping professionals, teachers, medical professionals, caretakers, wives, mothers, social workers, etc.

I am finishing up the first series of this workshop now and have initial evidence that it is effective in reducing symptoms of burnout in Christian women. I am running the workshop again to reach more women and am needing a larger group of participants to meet the research goals of the project.

More information about the study can be found at ministryburnout.com. I also made a short video that introduces the workshop and my heart behind it. Please consider participating or sharing with anyone you think may be interested. I am needing more participants and will be thankful for any help!

Please call me at 971-221-0940 if you have any questions!

Join Cathlyn Fraguela-Rios, clinical supervisor of Providence’s Behavioral Health Concierge program, as she discusses what burnout is, how to recognize it, how to help destigmatize it at work, and practices to help manage it.
