We need 25 more participants to meet our goal of 100 surveys
This is a process meant to help our congregation to grow spiritually. The online inventory (a series of questions about your own spiritual journey) will give us a sense of where we are and where we feel called to go as a congregation. Help shape the future of Church of the Good Shepherd.
Take the Spiritual Growth Survey Now!
Take the online inventory, an anonymous and confidential survey, which takes 15-20 minutes to complete. It is important that all parishioners participate in the survey to ensure we have the most accurate information and to be successful. The survey will shut down this Sunday, October 15th.

What Do You Have to Offer?
It’s that time of year for us to offer up our time and talent to our community. There are so many ways for you to get involved! Please, during this season of Stewardship, take the time to fill out a form. Use this to gain more information about a CGS mission or group. Forms are available on-line here, or in the church.

Foyer Groups: What is this you ask? It's a chance to meet fellow parishioners and gather in fellowship a few times a year! Groups are set up with 6-8 people who then gather for a dinner out or at a member's home. Most groups had a rotation of hosts. This was a thriving fellowship activity before COVID and now it's time to bring it back, we even have a "Foyer Groups with Kids" option. Please check the Foyer Group box on your Time and Talent form or email me (Sue Corman) at radar3018@comcast.net to sign up or for more information. | |

The 221st New Hampshire Diocesan Convention
is coming!
Ways to Follow Along with the Convention Business Meeting
-
The 221st Diocesan Convention Pre-Convention Journal contains resolutions, biographies of candidates for elected positions and the minutes from the 220th Annual Diocesan Convention and is available here.
- If you don’t already know, find out who your church has elected as delegates to Convention. Delegates are your representatives who have voice and vote during Convention and usually report back to churches either during coffee hour or through a church newsletter. Canonical clergy also have voice and vote.
We encourage all congregants to tune into the Convention business meeting on November 3. If you do not have a direct role in the meeting, livestream the meeting using this link.
