3 Rosedale Ave, Manchester-by-the-Sea

Advent Retreat
"The people who walk in darkness will see a great light; those who live in a dark land, the light will shine on them," Isaiah 9:2
"For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord." Eph 5:8
In the Anglican tradition, during the four weeks leading up to Christmas, we look at the two times Christ comes to earth: when He is born and when he returns at the Second Coming. At this Advent retreat, we'll pause to look more deeply at our readiness both to receive the light of Christ and also somehow to be His light in the world
Come spend a day apart from the busyness of the season:
Saturday, December 13 from 9:00am to 2pm.
We'll gather at Mtr Wendy's house, 295 Summer Street, Manchester-by-the-Sea, MA.
RSVP at wendy@trinitynorthshore.org
If you know someone whom you think might like to come, feel free to send them this link to our Events page so they can read about it themselves and RSVP.
Community Potluck!
and Service in Asbury Grove
December 6
FESTIVE ADVENT POTLUCK and SIMPLE EUCHARIST 4-6pm
Friends, due to a scheduling conflict which we knew about at Center Grace on December 6th, there will be a slight adjustment to our weekly gatherings.
Saturday, December 6, we will be gathering in Asbury Grove at the Dining Hall
15 Lee Park, South Hamilton, MA
We will have a short eucharist service followed by a meal together.
Be Sure to Sign up so we can plan!
Even if you’re unable to bring anything, there will be plenty of food and drink for everyone!
From Jennifer Drummond:
We'll gather at 4 pm for a brief Eucharist in the Dining Hall, followed by a festive Advent gathering! Think cocktail party (minus the cocktails) - fancy dress, heavy hors d'oeuvres, finger foods, desserts and lots of sparkling cider and punch! We'll use real linens and punch glasses, and compostable bowls/plates.
Saturday Sunset Services
in Beverly, MA
SATURDAY SUNSET SERVICES
As many of you may be aware, since this past mid July we’ve been looking for a transition space to meet through the end of the year. We are very happy that Center Grace Church has graciously offered to share their space with us.
Starting Saturday, October 11, we will be at 4 pm at Center Grace Church in Beverly.
100 Cummings Center Ste 219Q
A few years ago some in our team and I had the opportunity to help Center Grace as they were in the middle of their own transition season moving from place to place as opportunity allowed. It’s been a great joy connecting with Pastor Derek and the team at Center Grace, as they’ve been very kind to us in these past weeks and we are very grateful to have a place to meet through the end of the year.
Where we are going brings a number of special opportunities for us.
- Location: We will be in the Cummings Center in central Beverly.
Most of our parish live in Beverly, so we are grateful for the chance to worship together in a more central location.
- Tradition: Historically some traditional churches kept a Saturday sunset/evening service as it relates to the traditional Saturday Easter Vigils where they kept the traditions of anticipating and keeping watch for the coming of Jesus, as we do during the Advent and Easter seasons.
- Functionality: Plenty of space for kids and littles in the sanctuary and in multiple classrooms.
The set up for our weekly services should be easier than it’s ever been, and being in a newer space with new carpeting, plenty of crawling space for the littles, comfy cushioned chairs, and proper HVAC will be a first for us!!!
- Fellowship and Connecting: this Sunset service gives us another great opportunity to gather together for dinner with family and friends on Saturday evenings following service in nearby downtown Beverly.

RULE OF LIFE (New appointment times available.)
Our personal rules of life are going to be deeply important in this coming year, given the way things are shaping up, in helping us keep the plot.
I’d love to check in with you (not check up on you) about anything important to you, really, but especially regarding a Rule of Life. Even if that means you aren’t inclined to make one, but are willing to explore it.
You can sign up here for some appts with me and, if none of these work, email me, and we will find something that does.
