  • Bible Study Thursdays @ 6:30pm on Zoom  will continue on Thursday nights. I would love to hear some suggestions from those of you who DO NOT usually attend about topics you are curious about. Send them to me by email or text. I would love to see this class grow in number. 
 
  •  Turning Point: Christian Conversation about Racism & Reconciliation Wednesdays @ 6:30pm on Zoom
The first session explores Racism, White Privilege, what we need to know in order to participate in and be good allies in this time in our history. It will come to a close in September. For those of you who missed this class during the summer and really wish you had joined, we would love to offer it again this fall. This subject is too important to ignore at this point in our lives as Christians and Americans. This first class is an overview and historical perspective using the Episcopal Program - Sacred Ground.

Interim Vicar, The Rev. Susan Eibner will also be offering a Turning Point: Part 2 class beginning in October/November. This class will look in greater depth at the current work being done across the country and how God is calling us to act and participate here in the Claremont area and in New Hampshire in general.
  •  Exploring Contemplative Prayer Practices a daytime class – Day & time to be determined beginning in September
To counter the anxiety, fear and feelings of being overwhelmed by the pandemic and the uncertainty we are living with daily, practices of contemplative prayer and meditation are being offered everywhere online. We will explore some of the various practices, so that you can find the practice that will help you on a daily basis. Come join us as we find pathways to peace and compassion in our ordinary lives.”

​A Prayer in Time of Pandemic by the Rev. Dr. Kate Sonderegger~
This hour we turn to you, O Lord, in full knowledge of our frailty, our vulnerability, and our great need as your mortal creatures. We cry to you, as one human family, unsure of the path ahead, unequal to the unseen forces around us, frightened by the sickness and death that seem all too real to us now. Stir up your strength and visit us, O Lord; be our shield and rock and hiding place! Guide our leaders, our scientists, our nurses and doctors. Give them wisdom and fill  their hearts with courage and determination. Make even this hour, O Lord, a season of blessing for us, that in fear we find you mighty to save, and in illness or death, we find the cross to be none other than the way of life. All this we ask in the name of the One who bore all our infirmities, even Jesus Christ our Risen and Victorious Lord. Amen.
