The Daily Bruin

The theme for this year’s Fall Retreat is “Filled to the Measure,” inspired by Ephesians 3:19, where Paul says, “and to know this love that surpasses knowledge – that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.” We’ll spend the weekend learning from one another various ways to encounter the character of God and engage in spiritual growth. Many of your peers will be leading these sessions and are so excited to share with you.

We are so excited to be featuring artist Hannah Glaver as our guest musician to lead us in worship this weekend. Hannah is the worship pastor at Imago Dei Church and has recorded with music artist Liz Vice.

Fall Retreat is Nov. 10-12. What better time to escape from your ordinary, busy life and spend some time at Twin Rocks on the beautiful Oregon Coast with your friends? Registration is a non-refundable fee of $30.

Sign-ups will be in various locations around campus over the next two weeks. Look for us in the Bruin Den, Canyon Commons and after Chapel/Vespers. You can also register (paying by card) by visiting this link.

This is an intentional space for the reps to get to know and connect with you, as well as space for commuters to get connected with each other on a consistent basis. If you are interested in joining one of these groups, feel free to go to the FoxHole at a time below that you are available!

Here is when the groups are taking place:

• Ashlee: Tuesday at 3 p.m.
• Whitne: Thursday at 11 a.m.
• Bailey: Wednesday at 3 p.m.

Whatever happens in the hour is up to your groups! We hope that this can be a time for you to build community with one another. We hope to see you there!
