Coming Up in May!


Midweek sharing and healing circle
Beltane: May Day and Workers Day. A celebration of the renewal of spring and a celebration of the work we all do, and the people who labor. What do these two have in common? Come for a sharing and healing circle. Come to share your stories of renewal through dedication to a cause or commitment or celebrate the common person’s struggle for dignity. Some may be invited to share their offerings again at the worship service the following week. Wednesday May 9th at 7 PM Buchan 202-203.
For more information, contact intern minister Amy Beltaine at abeltaine@firstunitarianportland.org

Midweek Service
Wednesday May 16: Beltane: May Day and Workers day
Beltane: May Day and Workers Day. A celebration of the renewal of spring and a celebration of the work we all do, and the people who labor. What do these two have in common? Bel-Tinne or Fire of the sun God (Belenos) is a Celtic holiday for blessing the livestock. International Workers Day commemorates the Haymarket Massacre in Chicago in 1886, when police fired at people striking for the right to an 8 hour workday.  Join us as we light a bonfire for the work that we all do and celebrate those who labor in factories, farms, shops, homes, and offices. Wednesday May 16th at 7 PM Buchan 101-102.
