So I Opened the Door
Sunday morning at 10am
with Tim Snowber
Two Years Ago, the Camarillo Mountain fire burned Tim Snowber’s family home. On the same day, Donald Trump was reelected. Tim had started seminary to become a chaplain the day before. Little did he know that the Universe had the same sort of ground-shaking changes in mind for him as he progressed through school. In this service, Tim will share reflections on the transformation he has gone through as a result of opening the door to his call to ministry.

This is a welcoming space for people of all ages. Children and Youth will have the option to leave for their WE spaces partway through the service.
October 25–
WE Grow and WE Wonder continue their decoration of the ofrenda that was constructed last Sunday. We encourage children and youth to bring in photos of loved ones or pets who have passed to add to the ofrenda. Photos can be collected after the Ancestor Service on Sunday, November 1st.
There is no Coming of Age this Sunday.
Annual Ancestors Service – November 1st, 10am
As we honor those we have lost, remembering the stories and treasures they have gifted us, we ask that you bring photos of your loved ones to place on our communal altar. You may place your photo(s) on the altar before the service and collect them after. Whatever you are carrying in your heart during this time of remembrance, may you feel held by this community with love and care.

Wild Wintering: The Art of Adventure, Rest & Wonder
Saturday, December 19 – Monday, December 21, 2026
NEW CAMP for: Youth in Grades 6-8
What is being Wild in the Winter? How do you define wildness? The warm crackle of a woodfire…The crisp feeling of cold mountain air….the rich smell of the pine forest….the mysterious beauty of the night sky….
We welcome family campers to enjoy the weekend programming and stay in a family cabin with their youth (younger youth are welcome). We also welcome new parent/guardian volunteer staff to support the camp, get in on leading or assisting with activities with the youth campers! Contact Camping Ministries Director Laura Lunn if you would like more information!
