Our bishop, the Rt. Rev. Brian Seage will make his biannual visit to Episcopal Church of the Nativity. His presence is a reminder to us in Greenwood that as Christians (and as Episcopalians) the capital-C Church is way bigger than just what happens inside our four walls at Nativity.
Bishop Seage will preach and celebrate at both the 8am and 10:30am services. At 10:30, he will confirm and receive some youths and adults as they make adult affirmations of faith and join the church officially.
Since Bishop Seage will be present at both services, we will welcome him with a large parish breakfast at 9am. If you can help provide hospitality for this event, please contact Frances Knight, who coordinates our Sunday breakfasts.
Following breakfast, the kids will dismiss to Sunday School and adult forum will turn our attention to Bible Trivia! Since Halloween interrupts our family night schedule, Bishop Seage will be our guest M.C. for two rounds of trivia as we continue our march toward the Nativity Cup. This week's winner not only wins gift cards, but also will be featured in one of Bishop Seage's signature selfies!
It's one of the biggest events of the year at Nativity. Our annual Halloween Carnival and Chili Cookoff is fun for the whole family.
Ladies of Nativity Church, please join us for our ECW Fall Meeting! We will provide a light lunch and discuss ECW responsibilities for the year. The Rev. Peter Gray has asked that we concentrate our service to the community on the Growing Families Ministry and also to offer our support to the Pastoral Care Committee and the Funeral Guild. While we are together, we will discuss ideas on how we can best serve our church in these ministries.
If you have other projects or events that you would like the Episcopal Church Women to consider, please let us know so that we can add it to our agenda for the meeting. We look forward to serving our God, our church and our community with you ladies this year.
Please respond by Friday, October 12, 2018
