Stewardship Season is here!

During Stewardship Season at Holy Nativity Church, our preachers will be sharing about the theology of stewardship and we will be sharing videos of members of our community who would like you to know more about why they pledge to support Holy Nativity. Stay tuned!

Are you feeling concern about the upcoming elections? Join Episcopalians around the church to pray for the nation and the world.

Everyone is invited to join Election Night Virtual Prayers hosted by The Episcopal Church Office of Government Relations from 8 to 10 p.m. Nov. 5. Bishop Sean Rowe, who will become presiding bishop on Nov. 1, will offer an opening reflection and prayer. Episcopalians from around the church will hold silence and lead participants in prayers together for peace, the nation, and all people and countries.

Join the event via Zoom by registering here, or watch a livestream on The Episcopal Public Policy Network’s Facebook page. (Note: If you would like simultaneous Spanish interpretation, please register for Zoom.)
