Picture this: It’s a Tuesday night at 6:45.

You haven’t made dinner yet, you’re pretty hungry. You’ve been in front of your computer all day working, and haven’t seen anyone outside of a Zoom call. You’ve been shuffling people to school, appointments, sports games. You’ve been alone in your house, watching TV, trying to find something to do. You’ve been out and about, getting all your errands done, seeing all your doctors. You’ve had a day, whatever it brought you.

Then, you remember there’s a place you can go, on this Tuesday night. You remember that at 7 p.m. at Dough Craft Pizza, there’s a group you can be with where you’ll be prayed for, listened to, supported, loved. There’s a time you can share with people who want to know how your life is going, who are curious about what God is doing in your life and in their lives. And there will be pizza. And soda. And water. And beer and wine. And pasta. And bruschetta. And salad. Really anything you want within the scope of a somewhat-Italian restaurant.

You can come and fill up your spiritual cup. Come and ask questions. Come and be surprised!

‘Tis the season to make your plans for Christmas Eve!

Our services are at 5 p.m. and 10 p.m. this year. We are still looking for people to read and help lead our 10 p.m. service. Come and bring your friends and family to these two services of Lessons & Carols.

The Portsmouth Brass Quintet will be performing at the 5 p.m. service, and there will be a string trio at the 10 p.m. gathering. There will be a scavenger hunt for kids at the 5 p.m. as well. Whichever service you attend, it will be wonderful to be together!

Join us on December 21 at 6 p.m. on the steps of North Church for a Longest Night Vigil, during which we will lift up, honor and remember all those who died while unhoused in New Hampshire this year. This event is co-hosted by the Seacoast Interfaith Ministerium and Crossroads House. We will light candles for remembrance, pray, sing, and honor all God’s children. Come and join us.
