To add some collaborative fun and encourage our campus to set aside the extra time and energy it takes to get involved in service, the Office for Spiritual Life invites you to join the 2024 Spring Faith into Action challenge!

To participate, simply serve with passion alongside your residential living area or commuter group:

• Brandt and Edwards halls
• Houses and apartments
• Le Shana and Gulley halls
• Pennington Hall
• Newlin Hall
• Commuters

Between Martin Luther King Jr. Day and the end of spring break on March 31, the residential living area or commuter group of participants that collectively logs and validates the highest average of community service hours on the Helper-Helper app will earn a $500 prize party for your living area, plus five (Bauman) chapel credits for all participants.

If there are other community service opportunities that you would like to see added to the Helper-Helper app, or if you would like to reach out to your 2023 Serve Day site to serve there again, please don’t hesitate to reach out via email to serveday@georgefox.edu or you can DM us on Instagram @GFUSpiL.

We truly are blessed to be a blessing. We hope you have fun, enjoy a semester of serving with passion, and share the Be Known promise beyond our campus borders!

This year, the George Fox University Doctor of Physical Therapy program will have the opportunity to travel to Uganda and serve their communities in need. While we’re there, we will partner with local leaders and advocacy groups to provide training and collaborate in the treatment and management of people with disabilities.

Our time will be spent at two boarding schools for children with disabilities, as well as with local physicians and nurses helping run free primary care clinics. The GFU DPT program cannot wait to see how God works through this trip for our students and those whom they will be serving.

With your support, GFU DPT will be able to not only serve the people in the rural areas of Uganda, but also utilize the physical therapy and differential diagnosis skills that they have learned in the program. Would you prayerfully consider supporting the GFU DPT with a gift today?

One powerful tool for healing our polarized communities is community mediation. Yamhill County has had a volunteer community mediation program for 25 years, but now it’s getting a boost with help from the Neighbor-to-Neighbor Community Dispute Resolution Center in Salem.

What will this mean for our area? What opportunities will it provide for those locked in disputes? What about for those who want to be healers in our community?

Come and find out from two Neighbor-to-Neighbor staff members, and the director of George Fox’s Civility Project, in our Mediation as Civility event at 7 p.m. on Jan. 23 in Hoover 105.
