Lifted Hands is an effort to get students at George Fox assembled together in prayer. Every Friday from 2 to 2:30 p.m. in the Prayer Chapel, all students are invited to come participate in prayer over our campus, our nation, our world, and each other.
Join us this afternoon!
Create a space in your home or office to be a “war room” for prayer. Pray throughout this challenge as much as possible in that space. Pray for your coworkers, your friends, your family, the lost, the stolen, the broken, the sick, the church, the next generation, this generation and the government.
This challenge is priceless, but you can add 125 points per week for praying in that space. For the 125 Days of Wellness scoreboard, go to this link.

You’re invited to join the 125 MPH Wellness Group every Monday from noon to 12:30 p.m. to walk the Stoffer Stadium track (or walk through the neighborhood if the mood strikes us). Try to be on time in case we do decide to do some exploring. We’ll need to start right away. We’re loads of fun and would love to have you join us.

Two of the university’s buildings have undergone name changes this spring, with Coffin Residence Hall and Gulley House being renamed Gulley Residence Hall and Hiebert House, respectively.
Gulley Hall is named in honor of Emmett W. Gulley, president of then-Pacific College from 1941 to 1948. The name change continues a trend of key campus residence halls being named in honor of former presidents (Brandt Hall, Le Shana Hall, Pennington Hall, etc.).
In conjunction with the new residence hall name, the Gulley House will now be known as Hiebert House, in honor of Roy Hiebert, affectionately known as “Grandpa Roy” on campus for four decades. He died in 2016 at the age of 92.
