A Beautiful Advent Journey

Thank you to everyone who worshiped with us this December! It was a beautiful our Advent journey as we gathered to celebrate the birth of our Savior.

The Angel/St. Nicholas Tree success!

Isaac and Felipe from the Episcopal Farmworker Ministry (EFWM) came Wednesday, December 10, with a large truck and collected the bags, boxes and bikes for the 80 kids that we sponsored. They are especially grateful this year as they told us "many of the children do not feel welcome now".

Thanks to all of you who organized, participated and shopped. Once again, CGS is being "a light this Advent".
Beyond Our Doors Community Lunch

On the first Sunday of each month, CGS hosts a community lunch immediately following the 10:15AM service. This is sponsored by the Beyond Our Doors ministry team. If you'd like to get involved, please reach out to Gerard McNeill or call the church office. The BOD team welcomes opportunities to partner with like-minded organizations serving our neighbors in need.

Above is a photo from January 4, our first Community Lunch of 2026. A special THANK YOU to Camm, Anders, Maggie and Paul Fyfe for preparing the delicious chili!
