The university community is invited to join us for International Chapel today (Friday) from 10:40 to 11:30 a.m. in the International Center/Cultural House. International Chapel is eligible for chapel elective credit.

This week, John Davis will share about the faithfulness of God. John and his wife, Dottie, served as missionaries in Cambodia for many years, so he has very interesting stories to tell. You are welcome to come, listen, ask questions and be encouraged.

International Chapel is designed to help us better understand what it means to be a Christian. Questions? Contact Dianna McIntyre at dmcintyre@georgefox.edu.

For safety and to save energy please remember to turn off your personal space heater when you leave your desk and before going home. Another energy-saving tip is to turn off your monitor before leaving for any length of time.

Thank you!

All are invited to the third installment of the spring Liberal Arts and Critical Issues lecture series this Monday, Feb. 10, when Julia Stronks, the Edward B. Lindaman Chair of Political Science at Whitworth University, speaks from 7 to 8 p.m. in Hoover 105. The presentation ties into our theme “State of the World.”

Stronks will present “Christians and Same-Sex Marriage: Framing the Questions Before Shouting Out the Answers.” Fifteen states now legalize same-sex marriage. Should Christians be concerned about this or should they think about this as civil rights for the LGBTQ community? Stronks says your answer to this question depends only partly on how you view homosexuality.

The same session is presented from 4:40 to 5:40 p.m.; however, it is recommended that the general public attend the evening session, if possible.

Questions? Contact Paul Otto at ext. 2676 or potto@georgefox.edu.

Scholarship Competition guests will be arriving Friday morning, Feb. 7. Please plan to leave the Stevens and Hoover parking lots available for those visiting families.
