Trevor Project Ally Training
Sunday, Oct. 9 | 12 - 1:30 PM | Mission Valley, Linder Hall | Welcome to join the FREE lecture even if the deadline to order lunch (10/5) has passed
We are excited to welcome Penelope French from the Trevor Project as they offer our church and community an Ally Training. This training is designed to create dialogue around being an adult ally for LGBTQ youth by informing participants about common terminology, the “coming out” process, and challenges at home, in school, and the community. The Trevor Project provides 24/7 crisis support services to LGBTQ+ young people, and this ally training can help us support the young people around us in practical and life-saving ways.

Craft Theology
Our question this month will be: "When society's values change, should religion change along with them?"
Craft Theology is small-batch, handcrafted discussion about God, spirituality and the craft of life. Our conversation brews from the unique ingredients brought by each person who shows up. All viewpoints are welcome: heretics, skeptics, mystics, the God-curious, and none-of-the-above. Please plan to thank our hosts by making a purchase. Our discussion will be led by John McAteer, PhD in Philosophy. Bring a friend or two! Please contact Stasi with any questions.

All Hallow's Eve Bonfire
Sunday, October 30 | 5-7:30 PM | OB Campus Patio
Water's Edge is hosting a Halloween party for the youth in our community! For centuries on All Hallow's Eve, bonfires have lit the night sky to drive out the darkness. It's a "dead man's party", when the veil between the worlds is thinnest. Maybe in ancient times they didn't have hot dogs and s'mores, but we will! Join us around the fire pit for fun night of music, games, treats, and spooky surprises.
This event is for all 7th - 12th graders in the church & neighborhood, so definitely invite your friends. Be sure to dress in costume so we can celebrate your offbeat & unique, funny & freaky style!
