Why do we have four Gospels? Why do they contradict each other at times? What is the Book of Revelation really about? This fall, we’ll continue our year-long look at the New Testament with the Great Courses video lecture series. We’ll begin with a review of the gospels we covered last spring (Mark, Matthew, Luke) and then move on to the Gospel of John, the letters NOT written by Paul, and the Book of Revelation. We’ll examine the original contexts of these writings and the people who wrote them, giving us a new perspective on these ancient texts. Full Details.

The Racial Justice Group at CCA is dedicated to learning about the impact of racism on God’s world and our own hearts and minds, and taking action to bring about justice and the kin-dom of God in our community. Through reading, discussion, and service, CCA’s Racial Justice Group seeks to live more fully into God’s call to love our neighbor as ourselves.

The Racial Justice Group meets every second Sunday of the month after worship, in the Parlor on the 2nd floor. All who seek to learn more are welcome to join—you do not need to have participated in past meetings to join the conversation now! If you are interested in participating, please contact Steve Boczenowski.

The Diaconate meets monthly on the 2nd Tuesday of every month. Details for the meeting will be sent by email. For more information please contact Andrea in the Church Office (603-673-3231).

In the busy weeks that lead up to Christmas we can sometimes lose sight of “the reason for the season” of Advent. Advent is meant to be a peaceful time of anticipation and preparation, a time of joy and hope. Advent is also a time for those who aren’t feeling joyous to find a space for their uncertainty, apprehension, and grief. Advent gives us permission to honor the part of ourselves that is longing to slow down, to take a breath, to be instead of do. It also provides us an opportunity to find comfort in the darkness. Join us for a time of quiet prayer, reflective readings, candle lighting, and meditative music.   Come experience Advent and take a break from the busyness of Christmas. Come as you are and just be.

Children’s “Mini Pageant” will take place during morning worship.  Our preschool and elementary classes will be presenting the the story of Jesus’s birth during Children’s Time.

Creative Worship
On the third Sunday of every month, our 10:00 am service is a special “Creative Worship.” Our Creative Worship services step outside our traditional order of worship with special music and interactive liturgies and activities. On these Sundays, our children participate in the beginning of the service before heading off to Church School to engage the story in a new way.

In December, we’ll hear the story of Mary and Joseph. Our children will begin the service by telling the traditional nativity story with their annual Church School Christmas Pageant. Then our children will head off to Church School, and we’ll spend time with Mary and Joseph before Jesus was born, when Joseph had a dream and Mary sang a song about what was to come. We hope you can join us, either in-person or online!

For 2023-2024 we’re celebrating THE STORIES OF OUR FAITH!  Each month we’ll focus on a different beloved story from our Bible and the message it has for all ages.
