To be a Christian, do you have to give up on a life in business? Do you need to give up your possessions and work as a missionary, or in ministry?
If these questions intrigue you, come join us for a short film, To Whom Is Given: Business for the Common Good, in which academic experts and everyday Christians share their stories about how they glorify God through their work. We’ll screen the film from 6:30 to 8 p.m. tonight (Friday) in Hoover 105.
Come enjoy this screening, followed by a discussion led by Nate Peach! Chapel credit is available, and there will be free food!
Contact Grace Friberg (gfriberg13@georgefox.edu) with any questions.
Matheteis is partnering with Shalom to bring back the annual event Colored White Panel. In the same spirit as past Matheteis events, we will be discussing the topic of race and how everyone has a role in this conversation and everyone should be involved.

Questions or concerns? Contact Mikaela Smith at smithm16@georgefox.edu.
The music department will showcase a number of senior students in recital on the next two Saturdays. Join us in Bauman Auditorium for these free performances! We would love to have students and employees alike come and support these seniors as they showcase years of hard work.

Saturday, March 11
Saturday, March 18

Join us for a Liberal Arts and Critical Issues presentation this Monday, March 13, when Corwynn Beals, professor of philosophy and religion at George Fox, presents “The American Dream: Wanted Dead or Alive” in Hoover 105. The same presentation will be made from 5 to 6 p.m. and from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m.
Some say the American Dream is dead – that it is no longer equally possible for all to work hard for true freedom. Others reached “The Dream” and found their soul died along the way. Beals will take a hard look at the status of “The Dream” and see what people are doing who say that “The Dream” (and their soul) is still alive.
The theme for this semester’s LACI series is “The Future of the American Dream.” For more information, contact Laurie Fair at lfair@georgefox.edu.
