THE BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER
Why do we pray for the dead?
We pray for them, because we still hold them in our love, and because we trust that in God's presence those who have chosen to serve him will grow in his love, until they see him as he is. page 862

oly Nativity Annual Pledge Campaign News
Each Sunday during our pledge campaign, you will find a short essay about giving in your bulletin. These materials were provided by our diocesan office and we hope you find them thought-provoking and useful. But we all approach giving our own ways, based on our experiences, our perceptions of the needs of others, our Christian teaching and our spiritual life. If you would like to discuss your thoughts about giving, please speak to our interim rector, our curate, a vestry member or a member of the Stewardship Committee.
Our Pledge Campaign continues, allowing us time to pray over our giving of time, talent and treasure, and to discuss it with family and others. Benjamin Mays, long-time president of Morehouse College, said "We make our living by what we get. We make a life by what we give."

Reverend Larry Grimm is a personal life coach for elderhood. He said "
You know you have entered Elderhood when you begin

Reverend Grimm will be sharing the Five Spiritual Task of Elderhood on November 10, 2019 at 10Am at Hawaii Kai Retirement Community. For more information see Fr. Chris.
