“Lost and Found” with Rev. Mark Glovin

Join us for a service entitled “Lost and Found” led by returning guest minister, Rev. Mark Glovin.

Centering the lessons from a few powerful stories, this service will explore the dynamics of losing our way, of finding and seeking.  Grounded in the power of community and unconditional love, we’ll ask have you or someone you’ve loved ever been lost and if you have you ever been found?

Bio: Mark served the First Universalist Church in Rockland for 14 years, leaving in August 2019 to hospice his mother. Determined to continue serving his community, he began working for Penquis, a community action agency in Rockland, working to ensure that resources meet needs in Knox County. Mark graduated from Starr King School for the Ministry in 2003, after receiving a call to ministry while attending Clark University where he majored in philosophy. A native New Englander, Mark learned lessons early in life about painful blessings as a die-hard Red Sox fan.

Mark also internalized lessons about Beloved Community spending summers at overnight camp from the age of 6 until 23.  During those summers, Mark developed a love of the outdoors and a deeply felt sense of our interconnectedness with each other and Earth and the Universe. Grounded in the belief that separateness is the illusion, Mark’s does his best to live out Thurman’s admonition to “do what makes you come alive,” keeping in mind that what we do affects everything around us. And so, he believes; we are called to act wisely and generously, with creativity and compassion.
