Bishop Sean Rowe's

Cathedral Sermon

[Episcopal News Service] Presiding Bishop Sean Rowe, in a sermon Feb. 2 during his ceremonial seating at Washington National Cathedral, spoke out against contemporary political divisions as “not of God” and lifted up immigrants, transgender people, the poor and other marginalized communities as central to the kingdom Jesus envisioned.

Feeling Pot Lucky?

Because our coffee hour table sure isn't!

We encourage folks to bring what they can, when they can to contribute to the food & fellowship we all enjoy so much each Sunday.

If every one contributes a little, then no one

is overburdened.

Let's all get POT LUCKY!

It's Butterfly Season at Holy Nativity!

Remember to take a moment and go check out the "show" along the Glantz Hall wall.

Dozens of chrysalis in various stages are hanging & hatching. Also, our well-munched crown flower hedge is home to many beautiful, new monarchs!
