This service invites us to reflect on the telling of an ancient Sumarian myth as we apply its lessons to our own living. We’ll learn the story of the Goddess Inanna and explore mythology’s ability to unlock our own powers of insight and courage.
Speaker: Rev. Eve Stevens
Eve grew up in the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Clemson, SC where she discovered her love of congregational life and began to consider ministry. She ventured to upstate New York for college, studied history and met her husband, Steve. Next was New York City next where Eve studied social ethics and pastoral counseling at Union Theological Seminary. Once ordained, Eve served as a minister for four years each at the UU Church of Utica, NY and the UU Community of Charlotte, NC.
She went on hiatus from full time ministry after welcoming her second child and spent a year earning a certification in Health & Wellbeing Coaching from Duke University while enjoying longer hours with her kids, six-year-old Ethan and four-year old Hank.
