Thank you to everyone who joined us for our online and outdoor Easter Sunday services! Some video clips from this beautiful and festive day:

A HUGE thank you for the many hours of preparation from the Emergency Preparedness Committee and to the lay ministers who served as ushers and readers at our two outdoor services on Easter Sunday!

This Eastertide, the stone of social isolation is rolling away and new life is emerging thanks to vaccinations. As we begin to consider our return from exile, how can we claim the gifts we have been given during this time? How do we decide what to pick back up, and what to leave behind for good? How can we be as intentional about our discipleship as we are about getting back into our buildings? Who is God calling us to be in this new time? In this season, the Episcopal Church of NH is offering an opportunity to discuss these questions - and more - as we renew our commitment to following Jesus and walking the Way of Love.

“The Church Cracked Open: Disruption, Decline, and New Hope for Beloved Community” by the Rev. Canon Stephanie Spellers asks important questions about how we follow Jesus out of our pandemics and into new life.

Book discussion groups will meet for four meetings in May and June (times/dates to be determined). Click on the link below to let us know you're interested!

Join others at St. Paul's interested in creation care for our informal quarterly Zoom gathering. Those who are using Sustaining Earth, Our Island Home, the carbon tracker for Episcopal Households, are invited to share their experiences and tips with others who may be interested in trying it. If you're not yet using the tracker, come and enjoy some fellowship with others interested in creation care. This quarter we are reading about heating and electric vehicles. Read one (or both if you really want!) of these articles if you would like. Even if you haven't read, please feel very welcome to join us!
