Speaker: Miriam Epskamp
Miriam Epskamp (she/her) served as UUCC’s Director of Religious Education (DRE) from 2006 to 2015 and rejoined our community in that role in 2019. She brings a wealth of knowledge and experience working with young people from pre-school age to young adults and, as a nearly lifelong Unitarian Universalist (UU), a firm understanding of UU principles and theology. With the help of the youth, their parents, and other adults, Miriam strives to cultivate unique and engaging religious education programs that allow the children the ability to experience, explore and build their own personal religious frameworks and build community in a loving atmosphere. In her free time, Miriam enjoys cooking, gardening, canoeing, and spending time in the company of her grandsons Ethan and Eli.
Our annual Bread Communion is an interactive, family-friendly celebration of gratitude and community. You are encouraged to bring a loaf of bread (or similar food) to add to our communal table.
