Church? Me? Are You Kidding?

Join me on Feb 19^th, 2012 for my first Interfaith Service. I’m a virgin when it comes to leading a service, unlike leading the tango! And much like my first ballroom dance show, I am nervous. But as my dance coach said to me more than 30 years ago, ‘If you’re not nervous, don’t get on the stage’.  

I am nervously respectful to those who come to hear us guide you through the experience of our ‘Winter’s Shadow’ service. I am part of a team – Nanci Adair, Kathleen Paylor and Liza Russell are my teammates.

Come visit and join us in this simple yet full bodied service.
(About 55 minutes – including snacks!)

(Are these pictures a curious tease?)

What you won’t find: A pulpit, a lecture, a sermon, a choir and organist.

What you will find:
A place of winter, an experience of spirit with art, a gift from the Divine and juice and cookies after the service.

Now this word service is a crazy word.

Fear not what you may expect, for we are not presenting the expected!

No Bones About It!

Location:
Portland New Church
302 Stevens Ave, Portland Maine

Some Of These Tears

Some of these tears
that I cry are for me.
Be it sorrow or joy
the tears let me be.

Some of these tears
that I cry are for you.ja
To feel such a love
from a heart that's so true.
                                              

Some of these tears
that I cry are for All.
In praying, these tears
will bring peace by their call.








I know that the tears
that I cry will be shared.
And honored with love
for Love is Declared.


Laurence Miller, Feb2012
