This service was led by the Reverend Tori Rosati.

Rev. Dr. Jodi Hayashida, organizer of Multi Faith Justice Maine, a program of the Maine People's Alliance, joined us to lead worship described as "How do we hold onto and create hopeful, hope-filled communities when so much of what surrounds us seems oriented towards encouraging despair?  We ground ourselves in an ever-expanding understanding of "us" and take hold of the power that we build together."

This service was led by Mary Gelfand. The audio presented by her explains how and the meaning for weaving our threads into a combined tapestry and community.

In July of 2020, following the killing of George Floyd, a seven-year-old in Essex, Massachusetts told his mother that he wanted to hold a presence for Black lives downtown. The center of Essex is a half-mile causeway stretching across the marsh, dotted with antique shops, restaurants, and clam shacks. This causeway is one of the main gateway roads connecting Cape Ann to other North Shore communities and is very busy in the summer with commuters, tourists, and residents—much like here in Kennebunk.
