11:00 Inspirations Service:  Holy Communion

What is Our Worship Like at Nativity?  Our 9:30 a.m. Holy Communion Service celebrates the rich depth of Anglican liturgy.  We sing beautiful traditional Anglican hymns under the leadership of our music director, accompanied by organ and piano, and our talented adult choir.  We celebrate a Rite II Eucharist which includes reading of Scripture, communal prayers, a thought-provoking sermon that relates to issues of daily life, and Holy Communion at which all are welcome.  Our congregation is warm and friendly, and will be happy to welcome you to our beautiful sanctuary.  

Our 11:00 a.m. Inspirations Service combines the best of ancient and modern worship.  Within the basic Eucharistic framework of the Inspirations service, we work with various ways to experience God, including:

• Eucharist: we encounter God through communion, using various approved Eucharistic prayers, and sharing in real bread baked by our members.
• Music: we sing a variety of music drawn from American and other religious traditions such as gospel, blues, and jazz, plus familiar hymns.
• Atmosphere: a bit more casual than our traditional service.
• Meditative Prayer Time: between the sermon and the prayers of the people, there is a short meditative musical interlude for personal prayer.
• Interactive Elements: we may choose to read the gospel or another lesson in dramatic form, or add other interactive elements.
• Environmentally Friendly: rather than print a full paper bulletin, we hand out paper announcements and project the service.
• Music, Youth and Social Time:  beginning this year, we will have a gospel choir once a month - see Ilona if you are interested in singing!  We will also enjoy Youth Sunday once a month and have hospitality time after some of our worship services.
