Gathering Place of Many Rivers

 

We are fortunate to have a number of individuals and groups using the PNC building as a place of gathering.  Though they are independently run and attended, their energy and the love they put into their offerings adds to making this a special, diversified place of usefulness and coming together. Below is a listing of some of them:

​

​

The Portland New Church Interfaith Community

​

     This is the core body of this gathering place and is under the auspices of the Swedenborgian Church of North America.  The council of the Portland New Church meets monthly and is responsible for the running of the church.  Services currently offered by this community are currently as follows:

​

2nd Sunday of every month - 9:30 - 10:30. Portland New Church Service led by Pastor Lorraine Kardash consisting of music, prayer, reflection, communion service.

All are welcome.  Fellowship follows.

​

3rd Sunday - 10:30 - 11:30 am.  Interfaith Service led by students of The Chaplaincy Institute of Maine.  All are welcome. Currently on Zoom.

​

        spiritual practice. Facilitated by Rev. Joni Rose and Pastor L.Kardash
