Sign up to help make it a delicious time!

Our popular course: Aging & Spirituality will be offered again beginning September 26 from 12-3:00 PM. It will last eight weeks. Deacon Nancy has worked hard to revised the curriculum based upon the comments and suggestions of the first group.


It begins with a session on the aging process. We then move on to the Enneagram, spiritual needs and practices, discerning spiritual gifts, transitioning from a worldly-self (ego-self) to more true-self, and discerning vocation – the use of our spiritual gifts. Another session is on moving our idea of death from taboo to welcome. Classes cover discussion of the text  for the week and then move into the topic for the day. There will be small group, individual, and full group work as well as lecture and discussion. For the $35 registration fee each participant will be given the syllabus, the text, two articles about “shadow side,” and a link to a You Tube video by the author of the text. (Readings and video should be completed before the course begins.) You will also receive a book with all the PowerPoint slides on the first day of class. We will be able to take 12 participants in this offering. It is suggested you register early to get a place and to begin reading!


Time and dates:

Tuesdays, September 26 through November 14, 12:00pm to 3:00pm

Cost: $35

Questions: Deacon Nancy is in the office Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10 AM to 4 PM, or leave a message at 603-882-0809 or write her at deacon@cgsnashua.org

Start your Wednesday with Morning Prayer.

Deathtrap

A Thriller Comedy by Ira Levin

Directed by Jack Neary

Comfortably ensconced in his charming Connecticut home, Sidney Bruhl, a successful writer of Broadway thrillers, is struggling to overcome a dry spell which has resulted in a string of failures and a shortage of funds. A possible break in his fortunes occurs when he receives a script from a student in the seminar he has been conducting at a nearby college—a thriller that Sidney recognizes immediately as a potential Broadway smash. Sidney’s plan, devised with his wife’s help, is to offer collaboration to the student for co-credit. Or is it?


CAST

Sydney Bruhl – John Budzyna

Myra Bruhl – Sally Nutt

Clifford Anderson – Thomas Carnes

Helga ten Dorp – Trish Aponte

Porter Milgrim – Ed Simeone
