Hi friends,
Guess what! For those of you who think our pews from the 1700s are uncomfortable, we now have wonderful comfortable chairs thanks to the Barnstead Town Hall. So make sure you come visit and enjoy the new chairs.

Houston (Portland in this matter) … we have a problem. 🚨

We’ve been moving furniture around at the Portland Seafarer Center to make the space more comfortable… but it turns out our couch might be a little too small. Our seafarer friends clearly need a few more extra-comfy seats for their bums! 😅

If you or someone you know is getting rid of a gently used couch, comfy chairs, or other furniture, we’d love to take a look. As the center grows, we’re still figuring out what our seafarers need most to relax after long months at sea.

Send us a message if you might be able to help. Your old couch could become a seafarer’s favorite spot in Portland! ⚓🛋️

Special thank you to the EF AVA crew for being our models!

Unfortunately service is cancelled for today, as there is no heat again. A technician is on the way. We know God is working in all this and hope to hear some great testimonies!

Hello friends,
I hate to say it again, but the furnace still isn’t functioning properly. There will be no service again this Sunday 2/15/26.
