When is Christmas again? It is hard to tell when department stores have started playing Mariah Carey already. This can take away from the meaning in Advent though, a season of great anticipation of the arrival of Jesus, both in that manger in Bethlehem and in our hearts today. Advent calls us to ask, how do we prepare for the arrival of Jesus on Christmas morning?  Come explore how we prepare ourselves to welcome Jesus through the lens of hospitality as we read “Stay Awhile: Advent Lessons in Divine Hospitality” by Kara Eidson. We will gather on Mondays in December from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM in the Lounge with the exception of December 9 which will be from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM so it will not overlap with CGS Women’s group that evening.

Rectors Meeting

Rector's Meeting November 25, 7-8pm on Zoom

Looking for an opportunity to go a bit deeper into church happenings than what can be covered in our weekly announcements? Join Pastor Kathy and members of the Vestry for our first Rector's Meeting. At this meeting we will give highlights on what's going on at the church, let you know about opportunities to get involved, answer questions, and pray together. Subsequent Rector's meetings will be held in March and in June. Together with our Annual Meeting in January and Homecoming Sunday in September, it is my hope that these occasions will provide opportunities throughout the church year for us to touch base and catch up on the various happenings here at CGS.
