First Sunday Brunch


First Sunday Brunch has taken a break over the summer but will resume in October. At this time, we need hosts for October and November.


First Sunday Brunch generally draws around 25 people, though there is a sign-up sheet ahead of time so you can plan. (Teaming up with another host is a great way to keep things easy.)


There is a sign-up sheet on the bulletin board in the narthex.

Book Club Chooses Nicked, an Adventure Tale


This new novel by M. T. Anderson is a religious heist set in 1087 featuring a monk and a treasure hunter seeking to steal the relics of St. Nicholas. Just imagine -- It had to be our next read!


Ann Patchett said the book “made me laugh out loud, gasp at the action scenes, and ultimately stole my heart. Anderson’s adult debut handles faith and love with such wit. I’m already pondering a re-read.”


The club members enjoyed The Secret Keeper by Kate Morton and its twist at the end. The next meeting is Wednesday, September 4 following Evening Prayer which starts at 5:00 pm.


Passing of Ann Bacher


Our beloved church family member, Ann Bacher, passed away on August 6. The arrangements are being handled by Cox Funeral Home in Manchester, and information on that should be coming soon.


You can read the obituary here.
