Holiday Stroll Volunteers needed: After weeks of planning, decorating and creating stunning structures from gingerbread and sugary delights of all types, our Gingerbread team creates a crowd-pleasing display in the lounge. This has always been a hugely popular stop on Nashua's Holiday Stroll the Saturday after Thanksgiving until COVID compelled us to limit it only to parishioners. This year CGS will once again be opening our beautiful Gingerbread Village for public viewing! Hundreds of people come to see this Christmas classic and we need volunteers to help make it happen.
If you are interested in helping on the evening of November 25th please sign up

Online Advent Study--Understanding the Gospel of Mark through the "Way of Love" Taught by Pastor Kathy: Nov 29 through Dec 20, 6:30-8:00 PM
This Advent, which begins Sunday December 3, you may notice during worship services that our Gospel readings have shifted. Advent marks the beginning of a new lectionary year. Start the "year" off by deepening your understanding of the Gospel of Mark. This short, but beautiful Gospel, will take center stage in our worship services for the next 12 months.
We invite you to join Pastor Kathy who will use the Episcopal Way of Love practices—Turn, Learn, Pray, Worship, Bless, Go, Rest—as a lens to study Mark, a Gospel is known for its focus on "the Way," a path of discipleship with and to Christ who is himself, "the Way." In this class we will deepen our own practices of discipleship as we lean into the Advent season of waiting and contemplation. The class will be held on Zoom, Wednesdays November 29 thru December 20 from 6:30-8. Please sign up below by November 26 to receive the link and class materials:
