Efm: Education for Ministry
The Education for Ministry (EfM) program is a course of study which takes place in groups of 6-12 participants. The program focuses on theological reflection, small-group engagement, and transformation.
When we embody the Core Practices of EfM, we create a community where discernment is both a series of “aha” moments and a gradual understanding. All Seekers Welcome! You do not need to be an Episcopalian to enroll. You do not need to be a Christian. When you enroll in an EfM program, you will want to be able to read the materials, engage the practices, and participate in discussions, reflections, and worship of the seminar group.
The current program group is closed and will graduate in December of this year. However, you can sign up for our program beginning in January 2027! Contact Erin O’Loughlin for more information. More information about the program is HERE.

Every Monday at 11:30am we will gather in the sanctuary of the Church for a half hour of quiet Contemplative Prayer. We'll follow our prayer time with Book Study and brown bag lunch.

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.
I hope to see you there! Pastor Kathy

Rooted and Renewed: An Exploration of Episcopal Tradition and Spirituality
This is an expanded, updated, and exciting new version of the "Explorer's Class."
Join Pastor Kathy, Susan Moyle, and special guests for a lively and enriching nine-month journey through the heart of Episcopal tradition.
We will meet on alternate Thursdays of each month (with some breaks for major holidays) from 6:30-8:30pm, beginning on October 15 and ending on May 19, 2026.
Together we’ll dive into the rich history, sacred practices, discipleship, and theology of Anglicanism, and learn about the history of CGS and the NH Episcopal Church.
Whether you’re just beginning to explore the Episcopal Church, are interested in being received or confirmed at CGS, or you’ve been an Episcopalian for decades and want to go deeper--this is your invitation to discover question and grow.
You can register HERE.
Suggested donation of $20 to cover materials. Please feel free to reach out to Pastor Kathy or Susan Moyle with any questions.
