Dearest Friends in Christ,

We approach this Christmas season with deep gratitude for all of you, joy in the hope of Christ, and longing for the peace we have been promised.

What a year this has been! Our church has been slowly emerging from our Covid cocoon, gradually finding a new rhythm in person while still sustaining our vibrant online presence. We've received Pastor Kathy as our settled Rector, hired both Nick and Johanna, installed and begun using solar panels to reduce our carbon footprint, repaired appliances so we can use our kitchen to full capacity again, taken communion together many times, studied and played together, helped our community, and much, much more. There are too many joys and challenges to list in the small space of an email, but we hope you enjoy this short video with highlights from 2023.

We look forward to the coming year and the possibilities it holds. Thank you for all you do. Together we put Grace in Action.

Blessings, grace and peace to you all,

The CGS Staff:

Pastor Kathy, Deacon Nancy, John, Nick, Nancy, Kate, and Johanna
