The 202nd Convention of the Diocese of Maine
“Looking to Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith”
Saturday, October 22, 2022
Let us run the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith, who for the sake of the joy that was set before him endured the cross, disregarding its shame, and has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of God. – Hebrews 12:2 NRSV
BISHOP BROWN’S CONVENTION ADDRESS & CONVENTION WORSHIP
The entire diocese joined in online worship on Saturday, October 22nd! We took time to pause throughout convention to hear the Word of God, praise God with song with our virtual choir, and share Spiritual Eucharist. Worship included Bishop Thomas Brown’s Convention Address/Sermon.
