 Stay for however long you wish.
Sit, stand, kneel or walk.


To help your prayer, these resources will be available:

  • The Book of Common Prayer and the 1982 Hymnal
  • A brief description of Centering Prayer
  • Prayer cards - quotes from Scripture, hymns, poems etc
  • Visual prayer prompts

 And remember - none of us really knows how to pray. Just come as you are!

“For we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Holy Spirit intercedes for us.” Romans 8:26
Join us for Nativity's first ever Festival of Faith on Sunday, May 21! This is our last day of Faith Formation. We will be celebrating each of our young people as they, with their Sunday morning classes, present something meaningful from their year together. For example, some classes might make a short skit or work together on a piece of art. These presentations are meant to be fore the entire Nativity community, and there will not be a separate Adult Forum on this day. 

The Festival of Faith will take place at 10:30am between services. We will celebrate with cake afterwards. We will also have some baked goodies for sale, as a fundraiser for summer scholarships to programs like Summer in the City, Episcopal Youth Quest Camp, and VBS. We hope you can join us!
