Inquirers and Adult Confirmation Class
Whether you are interested in being confirmed or received into the Episcopal Church, or you are simply interested in learning more about being an Episcopalian, this class is for you. Join Pastor Kathy for this five-week class where we will look more deeply into the history, practices and theologies of the Episcopal Church. Ever wondered why our priests wear the vestments they do and what the vestments are called; or how the structure of the Episcopal is different from other Christian Churches; or where we get our liturgies and what they represent theologically? Whether you are new to the Episcopal Church and Church of the Good Shepherd and want to learn more, or you’re a lifetime Episcopalian who wants to explore the church more deeply, this is the class for you. The Bishop will be coming to confirm candidates at CGS on Sunday, June 1.
When: Mondays, April 28 to May 25 from 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM

Contemplative prayer is a practice of centering yourself in prayer and opening to God's presence. After Prayer we will move to the Lounge for lunch and book discussion. We will be reading books that deepen our spiritual journey and challenge us to broaden our theological understanding.
You may join us for both, or come just for prayer or for book study. If you come to the book study, feel free to bring a lunch. Our current book is The Only Necessary Thing: Living a Prayerful Life by Henri J.M . Nouwen.
I hope to see you there! Pastor Kathy

Good Friday - Stations of the Cross
Join us for CGS Stations of the Cross City Walk--A Search for Home
Meet in the Sanctuary of CGS.
The fourteen stations in this liturgy are based strictly on events in the Gospels and have been adapted to locations around the Church of the Good Shepherd in Nashua. Because CGS is located on Main Street, the congregation has long experienced the issues faced by an urban church. Nashua has experienced a dramatic increase in unhoused individuals, caused in part by housing shortages, a lack of funds for mental health and addiction care, and the actions of surrounding communities. The increase in the unhoused population has caused friction in the city, as shelters in Nashua have struggled to keep up with the number of people on the streets. How do we as Christians, respond?
As we walk through the neighborhood around CGS we will stop at "stations" and strive to see our neighbors as Christ sees them and us, as beloved children of God, redeemed by his Sacrifice. We will renew and affirm the CGS community’s commitment to our baptismal vow to seek and serve Christ in all persons, loving our neighbors as ourselves.
The liturgy for this walk was created by our own Sarah Patton. We hope you can join us.
