 Interim Rectors
Ramblings
The Annual Meeting was held this past Sunday, January 28, 2019. We received reports from the Austin Nakoa our Senior Warden, Eva Eglinton our Junior Warden and various committees and organizations of the church. A report from Holy Nativity School was also presented.
The budget for 2019 as adopted by the Vestry was presented by our Treasurer to the parish. If you would like a copy of the budget please contact the church office. Any questions about the budget can be directed to our Treasurer, Jean Steele.
The vestry and school board have spent a tremendous amount of time and energy on shared expectations and goals for both the church and the school. This name of this project is "Mission Possible" and a very detailed report was shared at the meeting. This document is also being shared with the leadership, parents and teachers of the school. It is a vision of how we will grow into our mission together. I highly recommend that you read this document carefully. Again, it can be obtained by contacting the church office.
During the meeting Bob Steele who is chair of the search committee updated the parish on the status of the search. The next part of the parish profile needs to be completed. In order to complete the section of the profile which describes the qualities the parish would like to see in the next rector a survey was conducted. The search committee will continue to solicit input from parishioners and listen to what you would like to see in a new rector for our parish. Those who did not attend the annual meeting can obtain a survey from the church office to complete and return to the search committee so that the committee hears from as many people as possible.
Finally, there were elections! The result of the elections are:
Junior Warden - Eva Eglinton
Vestry members for a three-year term - Lila Johnson, Ed Moore, Jeff Taylor.
Vestry member for a one-year term - John Verghese
Delegates to Diocesan Convention - Louisa LeRoux, Kathy Otani, Ed Strikeleather, Stanley Yon
Alternate Delegate to Diocesan - Wyn Aubrey-Child
Thank you to all who helped to write reports, brought food for our wonderful pot-luck and a hearty thanks to those who were willing to stand for election to serve Holy Nativity.
Blessings,
Canon Kate+

Rectors Search Survey
At our annual meeting last Sunday, members of the parish had an opportunity to provide feedback to the Holy Nativity Search Committee about qualities they would like to see in the new rector. To afford an opportunity to participate for those members who were unable to attend annual meeting, the survey will be available on the lanai. The surveys will be also available at the church office during the week. The anonymous survey will take about 10 minutes to complete. Please return the survey to the church office or to Bob Steele Chair of the Search Committee by February 17

A Message from the Holy Nativity School and Church Mission Possible Group
The Holy Nativity School is an important and cherished mission of the Church of the Holy Nativity. The school is a corporation owned by the parish and the land and buildings they share are held in trust for the Episcopal Diocese of Hawaii. The church and school share many expenses including maintenance, insurance and utilities. The school is supported by tuition payments, fundraising and gifts; it has a small endowment. The church is supported by its congregation's giving, rental income from external parties and from endowments; it also operates a thrift shop. The church and school have agreed upon which indoor and outdoor spaces are designated for each-- either in their entirety or as scheduled.
The Church of the Holy Nativity worships God, encourages spiritual growth and shares God's bounty through outreach. Holy Nativity School values each child's individuality and seeks to develop principled citizens. Our Episcopal identity is found in our traditional worship, religious study, community life and pursuit of justice.
Our school's Board has fiduciary responsibility to our church. The board hires the Head of School with prior concurrence by the parish's Rector. The Head of School develops and implements policies and programs, hires staff and faculty, answers to the school's board, reports regularly about the school's progress to the Vestry and maintains a collegial relationship with the Rector. The church's Vestry calls the parish Rector, appoints school board members (nominated by a committee with church and school members), meets semi-annually with the school board and monitor's the school's well-being. In 2018-19 our school will begin to contribute to the capital improvements of the shared property. The school and the parish appoint members of a Capital Improvement Committee which prioritizes and manages needed improvements as approved by the Vestry and the Diocese.
