It’s that time of year where we get to partake in baptisms together as a community. If you or someone you know is interested in getting baptized, please email spirituallife@georgefox.edu.
Baptisms will take place Thursday, April 23, right after the last chapel of the semester (11:40 a.m.)
Current events and news regarding ICE-related activities can cause significant stress, fear and trauma. We want you to know that you are not alone. For Our Neighbor is a dedicated online resource hub created specifically to support George Fox students and staff navigating these heavy anxieties.
If you or someone you know is feeling impacted, please utilize these resources or reach out to forourneighbor@georgefox.edu.
Today (Friday), during the Be Neighbors Chapel, we will be writing cards for the residents of Friendsview and delivering them immediately after the service. If you can’t come to chapel but still want to help deliver them, meet outside of the chapel at 3:30 p.m. and we’ll walk over together to deliver the cards!

George Fox will celebrate Dr. Pam Fifer’s memory with a service held in Bauman Auditorium tomorrow (Saturday) at 10 a.m. All are welcome to join us in honoring Dr. Fifer, who lost her battle with cancer on March 27.

What does it look like when two of America’s most brilliant and outspoken minds — one a conservative lion of natural law theory, the other a prophetic voice of the Black radical tradition — sit down not as opponents, but as brothers in Christ?
Tonight (Thursday), at 7 p.m., the university invites you to “Civic Friendship in a Polarized Age,” a rare and remarkable dialogue between Princeton’s Robert George and Union Seminary’s Cornel West.
Students have the option of receiving elective chapel credit for attending. The event, originally scheduled for Canyon Commons, has been moved to Bauman Auditorium. There is no fee, but we request you please reserve your spot using this form.
Rooted not in the tired theater of political debate but in a shared Christian faith that calls all people to love their neighbors across every divide, this conversation will explore what genuine civic friendship demands of us in this fractured moment. Come expecting not a clash, but a covenant — a living demonstration that the gospel has always been, at its heart, a politics of reconciliation.
For more information, contact Carly Reumann creumann@georgefox.edu.
