Ninth Annual LULU Awards

Honor the ministry of your congregational communicators.

The Diocese of Maine is pleased to sponsor the Ninth Annual LULU Awards.

The LULUs honor congregational newsletters and congregational websites that best exemplify excellence in communication and community-building.

The LULU Awards are named in honor of Mary Lou Lavallee, interim Northeast editor and communications officer from 1996-98. Mary Lou, who retired to Maine in 1995 after serving for many years in the Diocese of Western Massachusetts, courageously and cheerfully bounded into the new territory of desk-top publishing and web site design and management during her nearly three-year stint with the Diocese of Maine.

A Prayer for Maine
Thank you, God, for the state of Maine, reaching ever for the first light of day. As Thy people wake to eastern rays, what chowder of nourishment dost Thou prepare for body and soul: concocted so delectably of pine needles and potatoes, of herring and clams and lobsters in their rocky lairs, of blueberries and new-mown hay and a thousand lakes and little boats brave upon the deep.

Of such blessings did our fathers and mothers distill their rugged liberty: Grant us grace to win the same, along the country roads and on the fringed and tasseled coast of our wooded land; through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
