Looking for an adventure? Join University Recreation and the Office of Spiritual Life on Sunday, Sept. 26, for a whitewater rafting trip on the Deschutes River! No prior rafting experience is necessary.

This is a great first-time rafting experience. We will be rafting with Lifelines, the outdoor ministry of CRU. As part of our time, we will share some experiences and reflections with one another as part of a couple of activities facilitated by Lifeline. The rest of the time, we will be rafting and having loads of fun on the water!

Students who participate in this trip will earn one SPIL (Spiritual Life) credit. Go to this link to register.

Have questions? Contact AJ Heil at aheil@georgefox.edu.

If the trip that you desire to attend is full, please consider joining a waiting list to be contacted if any spots open up.

As our pastor in residence, Gaby Viesca will be leading a Life Group this semester! This group is a six-week journey where we’ll learn to hear God’s voice and the way he uniquely speaks to each one of us.

SPIL credit will be offered for participating in this group. It will be on Zoom. If you are interested in joining, please fill out this form and she will reach out with details.

On Tuesday, Sept. 21, and Thursday, Sept. 23, Fulton Street traffic will be impacted by large concrete trucks waiting to offload at the Friendsview construction site.

The work will begin at 3 a.m. and continue all day. The trucks will be lining up on Fulton Street to enter and exit onto Center Street into the Friendsview complex. Traffic is advised to use another route, if possible.

If you have any questions, contact Dixie Downey (ddowney@georgefox.edu).

This is the final call to order university stationery for the large fall order. The collective order helps keep costs low – the higher the volume, the lower the cost. Consequently, it is most economical to overestimate needs and store a small surplus.

Orders can be placed on the marketing communications website and will be accepted through Friday, Sept. 24.

Continue to purchase all non-departmental stationery (including “second-sheet letterhead”) through the university’s Office of Mail Services.

Psychologist Carl Jung coined the term “shadow” to refer to the parts of ourselves we hide, repress or deny. Robert Bly called the shadow “the long bag we drag behind us.” We place all that would cause us pain and conflict into the bag, but it holds incredible power to transform our lives, relationships, and communities.

On Friday, Oct. 15, Join Michael Simmons as he explores practices and tools for companioning our shadow, particularly around our emotions and relationships. This course will be a space to invite Christ to meet our hidden parts and deepen that process of healing.

Michael is a spiritual director, retreat facilitator, and serves on the leadership team with Companioning Center on the board of Deep Water, a local community that provides tools, processes and sacred space for women and men to heal.

Michael is a doctoral student at Portland Seminary and is an ordained elder in the Free Methodist Church.
This course will be offered via Zoom from 9 to 11 a.m. PST (noon to 2 p.m. EST). The cost is $39, and the Zoom link will be provided. You can register here if you’re interested.
