Tie-Dye and Transformation: Sacred Lessons from Summer Camp

Video link to the sermon

How do we embrace the sacred in our everyday lives? Sometimes we must move out of the typical rhythm of our days to notice what is holding us back, and what still pushes us forward. In this service, Rev. Alia Shinbrough will offer reflections from their recent experience serving as a Camp Minister, and the myriad ways they learned to encounter the sacred in the most unexpected places. 

Rev. Alia Shinbrough (they/them) is a life-long Unitarian Universalist, still proudly figuring things out one day at a time. Their passions for social justice and community building have led them to pursue a life of service through ministry. Outside of ministering in a variety of places and liminal spaces, they can often be found reading science fiction, traveling to connect with friends and family, fighting for a more just world, and spending time in the great outdoors. A graduate of Harvard Divinity School, Rev. Alia is thrilled to be invited back to Cambridge to lead service with First Parish.
