Worship Leader: Rev. “Twinkle” Marie Manning

Change permeates the human experience and the world we live in. Spiritual Growth is only possible through change. Yet, even with the natural realities of the need for change, we tend to resist it, often to our detriment and the detriment of others. This service explores ways to approach inevitable change positively.

Rev. “Twinkle” Marie Manning is an ordained interfaith minister currently serving as the Contract Minister for the UU Congregation of Waterville, Maine. She is a semi-retired television producer, published author, poet, artist and retreat leader. The focus of her ministry is that of, “Living Life as a Prayer.”
