May 19 “Nudges from Spirit: A Points of Light* Presentation” by Cynthia Mara

​

   As Cynthia reflects on decades of service, she notes that Spirit's guidance has manifested a path of sometimes seemingly unrelated endeavors. Her nursing degree (B.S.N) first led her to work with seriously ill children, then to teach nursing, co-found a School of Nursing, and  to found a hospice before they were commonplace. Come and hear how prompts from Spirit drew Cynthia into these and other areas of service. 

   An interfaith minister, Cynthia is deeply connected as a Quaker. She worships regularly with Harrisburg Friends and also Pendle Hill. She has been part of the international Quaker Peacebuilding Perspectives group, working to bring to light unexplored paths to peace. Locally, she conceived the idea for the annual Harmony Walk, carried out with wonderful support from the InterReligious Forum.

*Friends share life experiences that reflect Quaker values.
