Many in our community are feeling uncertain as a result of recent actions by the current administration. Our faith calls us to care for the vulnerable among us, and as members of the Body of Christ, we stand together, and we will renew our commitment to live out God’s second-greatest commandment, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” (Matthew 22:39). We do this in “thought, word, and deed,” by committing to the mandate of the Gospel, following the teachings of Jesus, and educating and equipping ourselves to be advocates for justice.
Below is a quick bulleted list of resources from The Episcopal Church.

Jesus said, “Let your light shine before others so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in Heaven.” Together, through prayer and action, we can become that bright light for vulnerable communities in Maine.
