Service theme: Mother’s Day

NORWAY — Rev. Fayre Stephenson, minister of The First Unitarian Universalist Church of Norway, will give a Mother’s Day-themed service at 11 a.m. Sunday, May 12, at the church, 479 Main St.

Like May Day, Mother’s Day has had an interesting and varied history through the centuries. Julia Ward How, a Unitarian and writer of the “Battle Hymn of the Republic,” wanted the day to be a Mothers’ Peace Day. This service will take stock of how we may regard Mother’s Day and mothering today.

Childcare is provided and social hour follows the service.

Free, live storytelling

LEWISTON — The children of Calvary United Methodist Church will offer a special story told with puppets as part of the 10:30 a.m. service Sunday, May 12, at 59 Sabattus St.

Every Sunday throughout the summer, weather permitting, there will be free live storytelling on the front steps of the church.

The stories, tall tales, folk tales from around the world and Bible stories will be offered by Lewiston storyteller Pat Gardiner.

All are welcome to attend.

For more information, call 782-3221.

PARIS — “Render Unto Ceasar” is the title of Silver Moore-Leamon’s May 12 sermon at the First Universalist Church on Pine Street.

The music for the 10 a.m. service is under the direction of Donna Hurd and Sunday School is under the direction of Renee Wales.

Coffee, conversation and fellowship will follow the worship service and all are welcome. Childcare is available and the First Universalist Church is wheelchair accessible.
