TURNER — The First Universalist Church of Turner Center, on Route 117, plans to host two November guest speakers.

Greg Grigsby will speak Sunday, Nov. 14. Serving children was his calling in life, and he was an elementary school counselor for 32 years. After retiring, he sensed a need to explore and expand a neglected part of himself. He entered the Chaplaincy Institute of Maine and became an ordained interfaith minister in 2019.

Grigsby will talk about forgiveness.

Sarah Shepley will speak Sunday, Nov. 21. Shepley is a full-time artist, educator and interfaith minister. Ordained from the Chaplaincy Institute of Maine in 2011, she has practiced her ministry through officiating weddings, funerals, offering sermons and practicing community ministry in western Maine.

In 2016 she founded the Ecuadorian Arts Initiative, a project which serves the creative needs of children throughout Ecuador by teaching art in orphanages, after-school programs and communities.

In 2020, Shepley completed a three-year training in family constellation work, a modality which looks at how trauma affects family systems over generations. She has a private practice and sells her art as a fundraiser for her arts initiative.
