The Daily Bruin

Urban Outreach is in need of students or staff who are willing to drive personal vehicles on Sundays for our work with HomePDX. This is a ministry in which we build relationship with our friends who live outdoors, and requires a consistent group of drivers who can bring students to downtown Portland each week and join us in this ministry.

The time commitment is from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The more Sundays you are available, the better, but even one Sunday is better than none. If you are certified to drive a personal vehicle or willing to become certified, and would like to join us in this ministry, please contact us at UrbanOutreachGFU@gmail.com.

The university’s offices, libraries and bookstores will be closed Monday, Jan. 16, to observe the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. Also closed will be the Fitness Center on the Newberg campus.

The Newberg community is invited to join us at the Chehalem Cultural Center this Monday, Jan. 16, for live music, refreshments and good conversation as we gather in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The evening’s theme is “A Legacy of Love.”

This free event features several George Fox student performers, and the speaker is our very own Tiona Cage, assistant director of international student and scholar services. A reception is scheduled from 5 to 6 p.m., followed by a program from 6 to 7 p.m. The Chahelem Cultural Center is located at 415 E. Sheridan St.
