'Kneading' Toward Liberation Cameron Young, UUA Congregational Life Staff, Southern Region
Many of us grew up hearing the story in the Gospels of Jesus ‘healing’ the blind man. Some traditions emphasize that Jesus’s miracle was the most important part of this story. I beg to differ. Presented by Cameron Young, UUA Congregational Life Staff, Southern Region.
Cameron Young is a native Texan and lifelong Unitarian Universalist. Having grown up in those programs, they developed a particular affinity for youth and young adult ministry. Prior to joining the UUA, Cameron served as a lifespan religious educator in Fort Worth, Texas for five years, having helped to implement their congregation’s first ever Coming of Age, Spirit Play, and Young Adults programs. Cameron also served a two-year elected position as Young Adult Co-Facilitator at General Assembly. Cameron has a Bachelor of Music from Louisiana State University and is currently a seminarian at Fort Worth’s Brite Divinity School. A professional musician and classically trained singer, Cameron has performed in numerous operas, musicals, is a member and co-founder of DFW’s Uptown Carolers, a professional Christmas caroling company, and also recorded with Grammy award winner Leon Bridges on his debut album. In their spare time, Cameron is an avid traveler, die hard fan of Dallas sports teams, and devoted coffee drinker.

In the Fullness of the Sun: Spiritual Practice Summer Solstice Service
As the sun reaches its peak and the days stretch long and warm, we gather to honor the turning of the seasons and the gifts of the earth. This zoom service focused on personal spiritual practice focuses on the summer solstice as a moment to be in the sacred space of reflection, celebration, and reconnection—with nature, with one another, and with Light.
Through music, meditation, storytelling, and ritual, we will mark this moment of fullness and transition.
