Check Calendar for Possible Availability

When you see a Red X with the words "Contract Pending" on the calendar, the date and time may still be available. If you see such a conflict, I will be happy to contact the couple to see if they intend to confirm their booking.

I am the Affiliate Minister at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Brevard in West Melbourne. As such, I deliver the sermon at our worship service on the second Sunday of each month. I am responsible for leading the congregational effort to grow as a healthy religious community by means of a Guest and New Member Integration Ministry. I facilitate several adult religious education programs each year with focus on the theologies of Unitarian Universalism and comparative world religion. In addition to preaching at UUCB on the second Sunday, I also travel throughout Central Florida to other Unitarian Universalist congregations.

I do not have any immediate plans to assume full-time contracted parish ministry as my highest priority is my family. My husband, Jamie and I, have three young boys and home educate our sons. I am essentially an itinerate minister throughout Central Florida as the demands on my time permit. Non-denominational ministry serving the ritual needs of the religious, "spiritual but not religious," and purely secular is my calling and an honor to provide aside from my part-time parish duties at the UU Church of Brevard. I have experience performing child naming and dedication ceremonies, memorial services, other rites of passage.

I perform independent weddings aside from my part-time parish duties simply because it is such a joy and an honor to be a part of one of the happiest days in a couple's lives. I have a quirky sense of humor. I always worry it will get me in trouble but it never seems to turn out that way. I am forever amazed when people refer to me as a person who "has it all together" and is so diplomatic she can "get the devil to do her bidding." But I guess in the end it's true and sometimes it seems like I can. Never fear, I keep the humor in check during the service unless instructed otherwise.

At weddings I have performed miracles with a can of hairspray and a bobby pin. It certainly never hurts to have an officiant who is handy with a screwdriver and knows how to stroke a surly aunt, just not with the screwdriver.

Denominational Affiliation

Unitarian Universalism grants the authority to confer ordination wholly with the local church, but the advisory association reserves the right to admit ministers into denominational fellowship. Although legally ordained a member of the clergy by the Unitarian Universalist Church of Brevard, the decision of UUCB's members does not presume or convey ministerial fellowship with the Ministerial Fellowship Committee of the UUA, thus my designation as a non-denominational member of the clergy. Therefore, I am a minister who is a Unitarian Universalist serving a Unitarian Universalist congregation, but not a "Unitarian Universalist minister."
