WORSHIP
Sundays @ 10:00 AM
The Church of the Nativity worships in the Episcopal tradition, using the Book of Common Prayer. Our worship is liturgical, meaning we follow the same pattern for our weekly services. We use written prayers, some of them ancient and some contemporary. Our worship service begins with the Liturgy of the Word which includes several passages of scripture, a sermon, creed, and prayers. The culmination of our worship is Holy Communion (also known as Holy Eucharist), the sharing of the Body and Blood of Christ.
SACRAMENTS and SERVICES
The Episcopal Church recognizes seven sacraments with Baptism and the
Eucharist being the two great sacraments given by Christ to his church.
Other sacraments include Confirmation and Matrimony.
Baptism is when we publicly proclaim our adoption as children of God, and as a congregation promise to support the newly-baptized in the Christian life. Baptism is open to all people.
​
Eucharist, or Holy Communion, is when we gather to receive the presence of Christ in the consecrated bread and wine, the Body and Blood of our Lord. Any baptized person is welcome to participate.
​
Confirmation is offered to those who have been baptized and wish to make a mature public affirmation of their baptismal vows within a worship service and receive a blessing from the bishop.
​
Holy Matrimony is Christian marriage, in which two persons enter into a lifelong union and make their vows in the presence of God.
​
Funerals The Church of the Nativity is honored to walk with those experiencing grief through the days before and after the death of a loved one.
