Join us on Sunday, November 5th in the SaP campus sanctuary following the worship service for a training from OutFront. This training covers general terms relating to gender and sexuality, respecting pronouns, and steps you can take as a congregation to be a better ally. We will ground much of our learnings in theological tenets, reflect on our own experiences of gender, and discuss best practices in being a welcoming and affirming congregation. We will offer two opportunities to engage in this dialogue, one on October 29th at the RV campus and one on November 5th at the SAP campus. childcare will be provided. *Bring your own peanut free snacks for SAP, cookies and coffee will be available.*Led by OutFront religious organizer, Matt Lewelloyn-Otton (they/he).Matt joined the OutFront team in the fall of 2021 as the Religious Organizer.
