Finding Our Voice
During the next three Sundays, the members of Nativity will have a chance to sign the statement that was created during the Finding Our Voice sessions. All households should have received a copy of the letter and statement in the mail during the past week. The statement is also available on the website. Members will be available before and after all services to answer any questions. Please take this opportunity to add your voice and signature to this important statement.

An Invitation from the Vicar
Welcome. On behalf of the more than 400 members of Nativity Church, I invite you
discover this exciting congregation, first on line and then on a Sunday morning.
This web site will introduce you to the ministries of our congregation, but only a personal visit can help you to know if this is the church you are looking for. Join us for worship and discover the blessing of being in a Christian community with diverse membership and an inclusive spirit that welcomes all persons to the altar. We are not quite the United Nations, but we do have a lovely mix of ethnic heritages among our members.
