The Daily Bruin

Shalom is NOT cancelled tonight, despite the fact it’s Halloween. Come on out to Canyon Commons at 8:30 p.m. It will be a time together you don’t want to miss! We’ll have stations set up to reflect on how/where God is speaking in our lives, and we will take time to pray specifically over Halloween.

Bring your Bibles/journals and come join us for as little or as much time as you can! If you have any questions or want to get involved, email Shea Krevi at skrevi15@georgefox.edu.

Need a Halloween treat? Gather your colleagues together for an all-employee lunch today (Tuesday). Lunch will be served from 11:30 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. in Canyon Commons for only $3. It’s no trick, we promise!

Happy Halloween, Bruins! Join us this morning (Tuesday) as we welcome Mark Strong, who will be kicking off our new “Vocation and the Old Testament” series. Mark will be with us for the next three weeks, and we are thrilled!
