Mary Rose And Embraced Them

Sundays at 10 am

The Gospel of Mary is an ancient Christian text from the 2nd Century, which was rediscovered in three different locations over the last 130 years. The text is tragically short; over half its pages are missing. And yet, what survives is seismic. What emerges from this text is not a sentimental portrait of Mary Magdalene. It is a glimpse of an entirely different Christianity, one where: sin is not guilt, but a loss of alignment; the heart is our truest guide; apostleship is earned through inner mastery, not gender or hierarchy; and where a woman stood as the foremost living vessel of the teaching. But this Gospel does more than reveal what was lost. It invites us to remember what is still possible — and to answer its deepest call: to become fully human.

Celebrate with us. 

Please join us at 10:00 am Sunday at 515 Woodford St in Portland, Maine, or via Zoom, for a time of worship and fellowship. We'll share some music, lift up our joys and concerns, pray together, and share Communion. (If you're joining us from home, feel free to bring a beverage and crackers, or whatever you like, to your screen so you're prepared to receive Communion with the in-person worshipping community.)

We post our weekly Zoom Worship meeting link on our main worship page.
