Curates Corner
On Sunday June 16, 2019 we celebrate our fathers. It is a special time to remember the fathers who are with us and those who are not.
I am remembering my father Bobby Bridges who died right before I came to Hawaii 10 years ago. He was a good father to me. He worked hard to provide for me and my mother. He was not perfect. He made his mistakes along the way as we all do.
The values of hard work, help others in need and being a loyal friend are the lessons I have learned from my father.
I pray that we will take time to remember and honor our fathers this coming Sunday.
A Prayer for Fathers.
We give our thanks Almighty God for the fathers in our lives.
Fatherhood does not come with a manual, and reality teaches us that some fathers excel while others fail.
We ask for Your blessings for them all and forgiveness where it is needed.
This Father's Day we remember the many sacrifices fathers make for their children and families, and the ways both big and small--they lift children to achieve dreams thought beyond reach.
So too, we remember all those who have helped fill the void when fathers pass early or are absent; grandfathers and uncles, brothers and cousins, teachers, pastors and coaches and the women of our families.
For those who are fathers, we ask for wisdom and humility in the face of the task of parenting. Give them the strength to do well by their children and by you.
I
n Your Holy name, we pray. Amen

It has been such a happy enhancement to our 9:30 worship service to have our new choir director, Chris Susuki, and our choir itself participating in the service since Easter. Holy Nativity is eager to receive "budget-relieving" gifts to support our music program. Please consider making one!

Exploring our church's mission
Our mission calls us to glorify and enjoy God's love, celebrate Christian life as expressed in the Episcopal/Anglican tradition, provide for education, encourage spiritual growth and share God's bounty through outreach.
How do we
glorify and enjoy God's love? We schedule, publicize and conduct regular worship; we worship in the Episcopal/Anglican tradition; and reach out to include others through intentional hospitality.
How do we
celebrate Christian life as expressed in the Episcopal/Anglican tradition? We respect the Anglican interplay among Scripture, tradition and reason. We are committed to open, honest, transparent and timely communication. We live out the reality of our Baptismal Covenant. We take a comprehensive approach to the use of our time, talent and treasure in support of our common life, as well as the local and global community.
How do we
provide for education? We provide youth and adult Christian Education. We have a Sunday School program, hear sermons during worship and host and support Holy Nativity School.
How do we
encourage spiritual growth? Both clergy and lay members offer pastoral care to people in need or trouble. We have a regular pattern of worship which is thoughtfully planned and executed.
How do we
share God's bounty through outreach? We have a thriving thrift shop and participate in Diocesan outreach efforts. Our primary other outreach activities address homelessness, the elderly and relief for those in crisis.
Did you "read, mark, learn and inwardly digest" the church mission statement recently? Did you think of many of the implications we have listed here? What else did you think about?
