Service of Hope & Healing- Sunday, Dec. 14 @ 4PM

This year's Service of Hope and Healing at Christmas provides a holy space of stillness and comfort for all those for whom this holiday season carries a sense of grief, loss, or heaviness. Join us for a contemplative liturgy of music, prayer, scripture, and candlelight, as together we lift up the prayers of our hearts to a God who is ever present and ever with us, whatever we may be facing.
Alternative Gift Giving

Feeling like you, your family, or your friends already have too much abundance? Do you need a gift idea that transcends clutter?
Here is a thoughtful solution for the season: Alternative Gift Giving 

This year, the Outreach Committee is focused on Loving Our Neighbors, supporting proven charities with either a direct CGS connection or those dedicated to serving disadvantaged children and families.

Join the Green Team!

On November 7, the Green Team had an exclusive visit to the Walnut Creek Wetland Educational Center and Nature Park, and we were joined by friends from St. Ambrose Episcopal Church.
