Accidentally on Purpose

Marian Stimson

10 am; Celebrant: Gina Campbell

Join church member, Marian Stimson, as she describes the path from Mom to teacher to white teacher in a 95% Hispanic community which permanently altered her soul. What began as a terrifying job prospect became a labor of love, which is now a foundation of her spirituality. Enjoy Marian’s heartwarming (and sometimes funny) stories from her time as an alternative education teacher in an inner city school district as she invites you to reconsider your own preconceived ideas.
