This Week In Religious Exploration
November 27, 2022 – Our Legacy in the Sunflower
Join guest speaker Rev. Mary Ann Barry for Our Legacy in the Sunflower. Community support, joy of giving, and the legacy of love. What kind of impact do you wish to make in the world?
In addition, we will have music from guest musicians Ben Warwick on cello and Helen Kim on piano.
This is the perspective and reflection of a hospital chaplain. Rev. Barry shares, “My first career was nursing for 15 years. Then the second was in healthcare marketing & public relations. The third was my own consulting training company, offering a wellness program to residents of subsidized housing (MHFA) for 18 years throughout Massachusetts. My last career, since 2004, is Interfaith Minister & Chaplain—serving hospitals, hospices, first responders, and healthcare workers. I also teach Communication Skills, NLP and I am a Certified Reiki Practitioner.”
