Lida has been coming to First Parish since 2001 when she was seeking a framework for her then four year old daughter to explore the BIG questions. She soon noticed that what was happening in the sanctuary nourished her in ways she hadn’t realized she needed sustenance in. She has been an RE teacher, CoA & YG mentor, Lay Minister, chair of Leadership Development and Committee on Ministry, and participant in many ad hoc projects. She has thrived at First Parish where she has developed deep connections and awareness of her spiritual compass. Trained as a cultural anthropologist/ethnographer, she works professionally with organizations going through leadership transitions and is excited to support Rev. Jonipher in his/their ministry with us.
