21 Week Anti-Racism Challenge | Week 13
Are you looking for ways to engage in the work of anti-racism? Are you having trouble finding the time or the right resources? Our 21 Week Challenge is just for you! The 21 Week Challenge is aimed at providing an accessible opportunity for congregational members to better understand systemic racism and to inspire local community engagement. Inspired by similar challenges across the country, this Challenge was developed by the YWCA Greater Cleveland. The Living Water Association is grateful to partner with the YWCA in hosting this Challenge.

Save the dates for theology: The Northeast Ohio School of Ministry (NEOSOM) will be offering two theology courses in the 2021 winter and spring terms: Introduction to Theology, taught by Dr. Steve Johnson (Monday evenings via Zoom, mid-January to mid-March), and Process Theology, taught by Dr. Gary Halstead (after Easter).  Students wishing to enroll in Process Theology are expected to have taken Introduction to Theology first, so please reserve Monday evenings this winter for theology.  Questions? Email Gene McAfee, dean of NEOSOM (deanofschools@livingwaterone.org).

In Sympathy
The Rev. Dr. Seth Agidi, known to many in our association, passed away suddenly at his home in Ghana. A doctoral graduate of Eden Seminary, he was the Moderator of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana, our Global Ministries Partner. Pastors for many years received a Ghanaian stole at their installations. Seth graciously hosted many on mission trips. He is survived by his wife Madeline, children: Senyo, Peace, Jean-Paul, and Peter and three grandchildren.  

Messages of condolence to Seth’s family may be sent in care of:
