We are currently worshipping at St. Nicholas' Episcopal Church, 350 Route 1 in Scarborough, while our building on Gorham Road is being renovated. Worship begins at 11:30 am, and we ask that people arrive no earlier than 11:15 as another service is finishing up. We will not be holding evening worship during the renovations.  Renovations to our building are expected to be completed by the beginning of March 2025.

About the Course

This course was created to help readers of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s classic, The Scarlet Letter. explore deep, new meanings of the text. The course begins by introducing the importance of literature, and it segues into an introduction of The Scarlet Letter. The following sections outline the poem with summaries of each chapter, commentaries, and questions for reflection or discussion. Each section also contains a dropdown list of the author’s sidebar notes on each scene for further background and analysis.
