The First Universalist Church of Turner Center plans to welcome visitors to hear guest speaker Sarah Shepley — a full-time artist, educator and interfaith minister — at the 10 a.m. service Sunday Aug. 15, at the church on Route 117. A coffee social will follow.
Ordained from the Chaplaincy Institute of Maine in 2011, Shepley has practiced her ministry through officiating weddings and funerals, offering sermons and practicing community ministry in western Maine. In 2016 she founded the Ecuadorian Arts Initiative, a project which serves the creative needs of children throughout Ecuador by teaching art in orphanages, schools, afterschool programs and communities.
Shepley in 2020 completed a three-year training in family constellation work, a modality which looks at how trauma affects family systems over generations.
She has a private practice and sells her art as a fundraiser for her arts initiative. For more information, visit sarahshepley.com.
