Abbey North Drummers - Sunday February 26th

The spirit and magic of drumming and rhythm transcends all ages, gender, religions, races, and cultures. Drum circles have the power to heal and empower, to foster unity and community, and to liberate our primal souls!  Join us on February 26th for a worship service full of rythem and stay afterwards for a drumming circle.

No experience required and no instrument required.  The Abbey North Drummers will help us explore a variety of drums, percussion instruments, and drum circle facilitation techniques and incorporate them into an ensemble truly greater than the sum of its parts. 

Learn to take risks, shed inhibitions, deepen your listening skills, release your passion, and come to respect silence and space, as well as sound. Beginners and experienced drummers alike will share in a collective celebration of life through rhythm.

 Come and experience creative expression through drumming and rhythm, in a fun, family-friendly, interactive, accessible, safe and non-judgmental, and in-the-moment musical experience, unique in its spontaneous, unifying, and transformative nature!

The Abbey North Drummers will participate in our regular worship service at 10:30 and lead all who are interested in a drumming circle following worship at 12:00.  No cost and come as you are.

Our Solar Panels are now Live!

It's a little hard to see from the parking lot, but they are there.  Cooke's Portsmouth United Church's solar panels are now live and providing energy to the grid!

In 2011, our Renewable Energy and Conservation Committee undertook this significant project to look at placing micro-fit solar panels on the church roof.  Following extensive research and thoughtful consideration our church voted unanimously to move ahead with the project.
