Undeterred: Stories Of Resistance

The powers and forces of Empire both in Ancient times and today make life hard for those of us who struggle to be treated with human dignity and to have enough to survive. Even though life may be filled with challenges, we continue the struggle. We don't give up. We are undeterred!

In these weeks between Easter and Pentecost, we will hear stories of our ancient ancestors who used their unique positions to side for justice, to stand against harm, and to work together to find a way through the chaos life brought them. These biblical stories highlight different ways of resisting, of persevering in the face of setbacks, of remembering that there are many roles needed as we stand up against the powers of Empire. We hope that these stories may inspire us to each find our own unique place in the world today to use the power we have for the good of all.

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.)

Masks are optional for in-person worship.

Masks are now optional, but some people wear them during worship. In addition, we have a highly efficient air filtration system and purifiers in our space running throughout the service.

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

Worship anytime!
