This is an opportunity for existing Thrivent members to meet and hear about how their money works for good\, and for those who are not yet members to find out why Thrivent is more than just a bank.

SUMMARY:Portland Pride 2026
DESCRIPTION:Please join us as we walk in the 2026 Portland Pride Parade! All are welcome! You are invited to make signs about God’s love for all people\, to wear rainbow clothing\, and to walk in celebration of the glorious spectrum of humanity God has made. If you’d like to do that in community\, you are invited to join Episcopal Maine youth at the Diocesan Office at Loring House (next to the Cathedral Church of St. Luke) from 9:30-11:00 for snacks\, poster-making and fun. \nWe don’t yet have information about a meeting place for parade participants (parade organizers will announce that a week or so before the parade). For now\, we know that we will meet at 11:30 somewhere near the Portland Public Library and the parade will end at Deering Oaks Park. There is a festival at Deering Oaks that folks can explore on their own after our official diocesan event has concluded. \nREGISTER HERE \nOrder your official Episcopal Maine Pride 2026 T-shirt here. \nIf you have a youth who would like to participate but doesn’t have an adult to walk in the parade with them\, please be in touch with Director of Faith Formation\, the Rev. Emily Keniston. A note about young children: everyone is welcome to join in the fun\, but you may want to be ready to carry younger kids as the parade is over a mile. Please also email Emily if you have any questions or concerns. We hope to see you there!

SUMMARY:Deacons Day in the Diocese of Maine
DESCRIPTION:Deacons Day in the Diocese of Maine\nLast Sunday each June \nResolution 3 adopted by diocesan convention set aside the last Sunday in June for deacons in the diocese to travel to a parish that doesn’t currently have a deacon assigned to preach and teach about the diaconate. \nHere’s the resolution that passed: \nRESOLVED that the 203rd Diocesan Convention affirms the mission of the Diaconate and calls the Church to seek out persons within the Church who may have a call to be a Deacon. Therefore\, the Diocese is to set aside a Deacon Day to honor and raise awareness of the calling and mission of Deacons in the Church and World; and be it further \nRESOLVED that the 203rd Convention set aside the last Sunday in June as a Diocesan Deacon Day for the Diocese in which: \nDeacons may travel to a parish that does not have a current Deacon placement to be the Deacon in the Liturgy\, to preach and teach about the Diaconate and the Calling of a Deacon. \nThat Deacons will coordinate with the Bishop’s office to schedule the visit. When a Deacon cannot be present on Deacon Day\, Deacons will work with the Bishop’s office to make a visitation at an alternate date. \nThat the Diocese will intentionally pray for the ministry of Deacons\, for those in formation to be Deacons\, and will pray for persons to be raised up for discernment to the Diaconate. \nHow will parishes participate? \nParishes without a deacon can arrange for a deacon come visit them on the last Sunday of June to preach and teach about the diaconate. \nEveryone may use these special Prayers for Deacons’ Day written by the Rev. Stephanie Batterman\, Deacon at Grace Church\, Bath in 2023. \nIf you have any questions or concerns please feel free to email Archdeacon Aaron Perkins. \n

New Hampshire Bishop Rob Hirschfeld will also be joining us! \nWho: Middle and high school youth (there will be two tracks) along with their chaperone(s).
