Resources for Helping our Vulnerable Neighbors

As followers of Jesus, we are called to welcome the stranger and to stand with those who are vulnerable. In this time of heightened fear and uncertainty for immigrant and refugee families across the country, we seek to respond not with fear, but with prayer, compassion, and faithful action.

NH's Stay at Home Order: A Letter from Bishop Rob

It is now clear that we will not be able to gather as usual for our Holy Week and Easter celebrations. The earliest we might consider returning to our sanctuaries for worship may be Sunday May 10, which happens to be Good Shepherd Sunday/Mothers’ Day.
