Children's Church School

Join us for Church School at 10:30 AM

Church School got off to a great start last week! Kids ages preK-4th grade begin with everyone in the main church, and after the opening prayer follow one of the clergy and high school interns to the nearby Great Hall for a lesson based on Scripture. We use the Storymakers NYC curriculum, and interactive, kid-friendly Episcopal Church School curriculum that is very popular with our families. Church School is taught and organized by our amazing team of High Schoolers, with Mother Eliza's guidance. 

Academy of Sacred Drama

Sunday September 14 + 3:00 PM

In a time of seige and despair, a courageous widow defies the odds, using her beauty and cunning to save her people from an overwhelming enemy. Premiered in either Rome or Naples in 1697, Alessandro Scarlatti's dramatic oratorio, La Giuditta "di Cambridge",  features a libretto by Prince Antonio Ottoboni and a score for three voices, basso continuo, and strings.

Tickets available online until 2:30pm on the day of the performance. Remaining tickets will be available for purchase at the door.
