Please join us on Sunday, June 7, for the first appearance at Live Oak by Rev. Johnnie-Bloom Ramirez , who will speak on "Perfection is a Rhinestone'
Rhinestones are lovely, but are made of glass. They are crafted to imitate something rarer, often requiring enhancements to create their shine. They can contain bubbles and imperfections hidden beneath the surface, and under enough pressure, they shatter. Join us in discovering why perfectionism is like a rhinestone.
Rev. Johnnie(he/they) was born and raised in Southern California, in the San Fernando and Santa Clarita Valleys. He holds a BA in Organizational Management and graduated from Meadville Lombard with a Master of Divinity.
During the pandemic, he completed a Chaplain Residency at the University of California, San Francisco Medical Center and co-led a covenanting community completely online. Until recently, Rev. Johnnie continued to serve UCSF as a per diem chaplain.
He is married to Rene, and they have an adult son, Geordyn. A total history nerd, he builds historical garments, and runs a nonprofit historical reenactment company in his spare time. He works as a flight attendant with United Airlines, offering “chaplaincy in the sky.”
Live Oak's Darlene Pagano will be the associate minister. Our service starts at 4 p.m.
