SUMMARY:National Gun Violence Awareness Day and Wear Orange Weekend
DESCRIPTION:Every year on the first Friday in June\, members of the movement against gun violence come together to honor victims and survivors of gun violence and to demand a future free from this crisis. Moms\, students\, veterans\, survivors\, and others wear orange throughout the weekend to show their support—in every state across the country. \nWear Orange originated on June 2\, 2015—what would have been Hadiya Pendleton’s 18th birthday. Just one week after performing at President Obama’s second inaugural parade in 2013\, she was shot and killed at the age of 15. In the aftermath\, teenagers in Chicago who wanted to honor their friend wore orange to raise awareness around gun violence. \nEpiscopal Peace Fellowship of Maine wishes to honor Hadiya and the more than 130 people shot and killed every day in the United States. Everyone in the Diocese of Maine is encouraged to join in National Gun Violence Awareness Day and Wear Orange Weekend to show our support for prevention of gun violence. Learn more here.

Wearing anything (everything!) rainbow you own is also appropriate. \n \n11 a.m. Gather as a group in Zone E: Line up on Brown Street between Congress Street and Cumberland Avenue\, facing Congress Street.Look for someone holding an Episcopal Maine flag. \n11:30 a.m. Parade begins! We walk for about a mile so be sure to wear comfortable shoes and if you carry a bag\, be sure you can manage it for that distance. Parents and caregivers- be sure to keep a careful eye on children as we walk. \nWhen we reach Deering Oaks\, the Episcopal Maine aspect of the event concludes. Some folks will choose to stay to enjoy the festival and others will depart directly. The choice is yours! \nREGISTER HERE \nHave questions? Don’t hesitate to be in touch with Director of Faith Formation Emily Keniston (cell 207-210-7500). You may also want to explore the Pride Portland website.

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
