Important Covid-19 Updates
For over 100 days we, like all the other churches in Maine, have been closed for Sunday Worship while we streamed all of our services on Facebook live. We are now meeting in a limited capacity, with a max of 35 people in the building. If you wish to join us please let us know by responding to the event on on Facebook, email us, or call the church at 207-838-1684 to reserve a place for you and your family.
We are taking measures for safety as indicated by the Maine CDC:
Otherwise, we welcome all who wish to join us. If there is not enough room for you on the week you decide to rejoin us, we will put you at the top of the list for the next week.
If you cannot attend, please join us online:
The 10:00am Sunday service of Holy Communion continues to be streamed live every Sunday through our Facebook page. In these and all communion services, we offer a prayer from St Alphonsus Liguori as a means for you to spiritually receive the body and blood of Christ. It is called The Sacrament of Intention. If you can not attend but are in the community, we will be happy to bring you in advance the reserve sacrament of bread which you may receive when the rest of us receive it in the church service.
The office of Daily Morning Prayer is streamed through our Facebook page at 10:00am. When it comes to the time of prayer, you may "comment" your personal prayer request and suggestions to us using the comment space. We will offer it up for you or just say amen in agreement with you.
We are taking measures for safety as indicated by the Maine CDC:
- Please remember to bring your mask which we ask everyone to wear throughout the service. Masks will be available to you if you forget or yours need replacing.
- We will be taking people's temperatures upon entry and sit you in pews that are all 6ft. distanced from other people.
- The service will be around one hour and there will not be a coffee hour after the service as we all have loved to do in the past.
- The church will be cleaned and sanitized before any of enter it every week.
- We do ask that if you are showing any signs of sickness or are immune compromised in any way that you not attend church at this time.
- Also, since there will not be Sunday school, we do not advise bringing toddlers under age 3 to the service.
Otherwise, we welcome all who wish to join us. If there is not enough room for you on the week you decide to rejoin us, we will put you at the top of the list for the next week.

Welcome to Church of the Holy Spirit
We say that the Church of the Holy Spirit is a "safe harbor of God's love from the storms of life." Over the many years of our presence here in Portland, God has led people of many nationalities, ages and social, economic backgrounds to make us their home. This is because, regardless of their past experiences and struggles in life, they were truly welcomed here as they were. In time most of those who visit us have realized that God was in this place and, most especially, in the people who are the Church of the Holy Spirit.
Our worship on Sundays, led by our worship team, is a wonderful blend of contemporary, traditional and American Gospel music. The service is easy to follow because it is all projected on the wall of our beautiful sanctuary. You'll have a good opportunity to meet people after the service during our coffee hour. After this warm fellowship with God and His people, we go out to make a difference in our community and even around the world, seeking out others who are in need of a safe harbor. It is a good place to call your church home.
