Information from Dr McCarthy about the WAD chapel speaker. He tells me
she'll be having lunch with anyone interested that day at noon, so please
save the time to do that.
Our preacher is the Rev. Portia Cavitt. Here's what she says about herself:
Rev. Portia Cavitt is the Senior Pastor of Clair Memorial United Methodist Church, Omaha, NE. She received her M.Div. degree from Interdenominational Theological Center (ITC) in Atlanta, GA and was ordained in the African Methodist Episcopal Church. She has been the pastor of churches in Missouri, California, Washington, and Kansas before coming to Nebraska in 2004.
Rev. Cavitt has served as a foster mother, a Substitute Teacher for USD 308, a volunteer chaplain, a certified HIV/AIDS instructor with the American Red Cross, and a Nebraska AIDS Project volunteer. Currently, she is a youth mentor and supervises juveniles for community service, a stroke ambassador with the American Heart Association, a member of the HIV/AIDS Community Planning Group, and a strong advocate for children, education, justice, and community involvement as she works with various committees and community organizations within the city.
