Church of the Nativity

The Weekly Newsletter!!! Hello Nativity people! Our newsletter items have been mounting up, so here's the skinny (Sunday resource email will go out later, probably on Saturday):... 1. James McCormick is currently our Senior Warden AND our defacto Treasurer. This is too much, and we prayerfully ask any member of our congregation who can count money to consider becoming our Treasurer and relieving James of that burden so he can coordinate weddings, deal with the squirrels in the fascia, and work with Vicar Ann as our church moves forward. Feel called? Please reach out! You would be a prayer answered! 2. We are going to resume in-person church on Sunday, June 6th. The service will be at 10:30am and we will be following the Bishop's protocols for in-person. We will send those out prior to the service. Won't it be great to be in our church again? 3. Bible Slam continues and we have reached the half-way point! The church is open daily for Bible slam reading, Blessing box drop-offs, and prayer. Stop by. 4. Would you mind letting me know if anyone needs to be removed from our prayer list? Current list is For those who are sick and others for whom prayers are requested: Jessica, Alexander, Tom W., Sue, Wyatt, Beryl, David, Eva, Paul, Emma, Scotty, Dan, Ed, William, Bill, Sean, Pat, Sam, and Susanne. For the Village of San Joaquin, Honduras For those who have died: Matt, Evangeline, and Lincoln. Thank y'all and I will be in touch with our Sunday Resources for this Sunday. Best, Alexe van Beuren

Hello Nativity people! The big news: we officially have a Vicar! Ann Whitaker will be leading our community beginning in June. Without further ado, here's Ann: Dear Nativity Family,... I am looking forward to joining you in June. What a honor it is to be serving you. The Mission Committee and I are looking at ways to meet in person beginning in June. We will keep you informed as we are able. Like with many things in life, this is a process! We will get there. In the meantime, I ask for your prayers as I assume the role of Vicar; you will continue in mine. We are called to follow Jesus; this is not always an easy task, but together, we can remind one another of our purpose. I look forward to getting to know all of you in a deeper and richer way. May our journey together be one of blessing and peace. Faithfully, Ann + The Rev. Ann L. Whitaker, TSSF Vicar Church of the Nativity We will be meeting on Zoom this Sunday at 10:30am.
