New Portland reverend opens State Senate in prayer

The Rev. Tom Dubois of Salem served as Pastor of the Day on Tuesday, Jan. 17, delivering the opening prayer in the Maine State Senate. Dubois serves as pastor at Western Mountains Baptist Church in New Portland, where he has led the congregation since April 2007.

“It was an honor to meet Pastor Dubois today, and to have him open our day in prayer,” said Maine Sen. Rod Whittemore, District 3.

While the congregation is located in District 3, Dubois is a constituent of Sen. Tom Saviello, District 17, who said, “It was great to have the opportunity to meet with Pastor Dubois in Augusta. He is a longtime friend and a cherished member of the community.”
