PORTLAND — There will be Shape Note Singing at the New Church, Sept. 1 from 1-4 p.m.
The church is located at 302 Stevens Ave.
The shape note singing is a free, participatory event, not a performance. No experience is necessary and beginners are warmly welcomed. Selections will be from the Sacred Harp, 1991 Denson edition. Books will be available for loan or purchase.
For those who can, please bring a snack to share during the break.

We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
