YOUTH  SUNDAY
. . . the greatest of these is love

This Sunday morning the Nativity Youth will be leading us in worship.  Our services will feature an orchaband, handbells, choir and sermons by two of our graduating seniors, Samantha Boeshore and Caroline Ward.

We are blessed to have youth whose faith is alive, hope is empowering and love is genuine.  Come, enjoy their leadership in worship  this Sunday.
