Saturday Services

These images are from the Saturday, March 6th Solid Rock church meeting in downtown Portland. I started photographing the church last week. The project is slowly taking shape. There are lots of events to shoot and many people I have yet to talk to

I plan on going to a house church, a small gathering in someone’s house or apartment, tomorrow evening. There are two house churches downtown Portland, and they meet monthly.

The sound board is the heaviest item: it requires several men to muscle it up stairs and through narrow doorways.Volunteers fill disposable plastic cups with cranberry juice for Communion.
Crew members look on as the worship band warms up.
Tommy, a Portland resident, was baptized after praying with Solid Rock pastors. An open baptism session is held between services on the first Saturday of the month.
Pastor Phil Comer preaches to a full assembly at the 7:30 session. Comer’s message centered around the Biblical story of a rich man (Mark 10:17).
