SUMMARY:Biddeford Weekly Community MultiFaith Prayer Vigil
DESCRIPTION:If you are moved\, we welcome you to join us for a weekly MultiFaith Prayer Vigil. \nAll who feel connected to the intention of this gathering are welcome. We are comprised of many different faith backgrounds including Unitarian Universalist\, Christian\, Jewish\, Quaker\, Interfaith/Interspiritual and more. You will be invited to sing songs of peace and also to be in silent prayer which can take whatever form of “prayer” feels good for you. \nLocation: Mechanics Park at the intersection of Main and Water Street\, Biddeford. There is a small paid lot nearby with some off street parking nearby as well. There is a paid lot next to the Police Station on Alfred Street within walking distance as well.  \nWhat to Expect:  \n\n5:15 arrive\, park\, gather at Mechanics Park\n5:25 group introductions\n5:30-6 Vigil led by rotating clergy from different faiths\n\nOpening circle\nSinging and silent prayer \nClosing circle  \n\n\n\nThis vigil IS an intentional spiritual gathering. Our intention is to gather as a community to pray\, sing\, and send compassion and loving energy to heal the heart of the community in the wake of the death of Joan Sebastián Guerrero and to pray for all who are caught up in the system of injustice and ICE\, including those detained as well as those working within the system. We are here to affirm what we stand for and provide support. \nThis vigil IS NOT a protest. This vigil does not make specific political statements. We are bringing spiritual intention to a complex and hurting system and the people within it during a complex time. Political/protest/divisive signs\, chants\, songs\, and language are not appropriate at the vigil. We do not share what we are against but rather what we are for.  \nWhat to Bring: \n\nAnything that helps you to be in your version of a prayerful space such as mala or rosary beads\, a prayer shawl\, a pocket-sized crystal\, or grounding rock\, etc. \nSigns are welcome but not required. We have a banner that identifies us and states our purpose (“Bearing Witness in Love”). But you are welcome to bring signs with messaging that are supportive and affirming for all. For example:\n\nLOVE for Biddeford\nALL are loved. \nWelcome the stranger\nWe affirm the dignity and worth of ALL people.\nMay all be free from suffering.\nMay the divides between us fall away.\nAll are worthy of safety and love.\nChoose love over fear.\n\n\nSigns that are not appropriate for this: anti-ICE\, resistance\, or protest signs. You will be asked to put these signs away.
