The Daughters of the King at Nativity
Susan Garrison
Daughters of the King at Nativity is the Jubilee Chapter. It is an order open to ALL
women who are communicants of the Episcopal Church. The Mission of the Order is the
extension of Christ’s Kingdom through Prayer, Service, and Evangelism. All women are
welcome to join the meetings on the first Sunday of the month following the 10:30 ser-
vice.
We are a group of women living a Rule of Prayer and Service to our neighbors. We are
women to whom parishioners can look for love and for help in time of need, loneliness or strangeness. We
seek to walk with God as our guide and try to draw those with whom we come in contact into the Church.
We are women who work to spread Christ’s Kingdom here on earth. We can never forget that prayer is the
foundation from which our service grows.

I am but one, but I am one.
I cannot do everything, but I can do something.
What I can do, I ought to do.
What I ought to do, by the grace of God I will do.
Lord, what will you have me do?

Fixers Build Community through Adventure
Sally Bloom
The Fixers enjoyed the challenges facing them at Betsy Jeff Penn, April 9-10. They worked on leadership and communi-

thanks to all of Nativity for supporting their adventures in the woods.

On Being Green
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens. Let your glory be over all the earth.
Psalm 57:11

A Garden at Nativity
Liz Chi
Have you ever wanted to be part of a great social movement, learn a lot of cool
things, meet new people and just have fun? Well, this is your opportunity. A
church garden is coming to Nativity. Join us and learn how to grow food and be a
good steward of the land.
We are just getting started. We plan to build four raised beds along the south side
of the new education building. We invite our youth groups and all members of our
congregation that are interested in healthy eating to join. Help us raise the garden,
plant and tend the garden beds and see what wonderful bounty we can grow. Watch
for our information brochure and sign up sheet in the coming weeks.

ON BEING GREEN
A hint before you print: think green

The Poor and Vulnerable are Affected the Most by Climate Change

We must act now and wake up to our moral obligations. The poor and
vulnerable are members of God’s family and are the most severely af-
fected by droughts, high temperatures, the flooding of coastal cities, and
more severe and unpredictable weather events resulting from climate
change. We, who should have been responsible stewards preserving the
vulnerable, fragile planet home, have been wantonly wasteful through our
reckless consumerism, devouring irreplaceable natural resources. We
need to be accountable to God’s family. Once we start living in a way that
is people-friendly to all God’s family, we will also be environmentally-
friendly. Archbishop Desmond Tutu, The Green Bible, 1989.

Use Me, Please!
There are recycle bins in the church
kitchen for glass, aluminum, paper, plas-
tic, and cardboard. There is a paper recy-
cling bin in the workroom (Room 3.)
PS: The paper bin is on top of the waste
basket. Think before you toss.

Treasurer’s Report
Dave McKinnon
Income YTD: $102.4K
Expenses YTD: $ 80.0K
Overall giving was up $4.7K or 14% over February and puts the parish ahead of budget for the year. The
New Education building is fully operational. Final details are being worked through with our builder which
means we will be paying the final invoices in the next few weeks. We have received approximately 80% of
the pledges for the new building. Thank you to all who have contributed to a great educational facility for
our younger generations. We are depending on receiving the balance of the pledges to ensure we minimize
our final mortgage obligation. However, there is the opportunity for those who have not contributed and
those who have their children in classes to donate as well. We want our mortgage obligations to be as little
as possible so that we can use the operating budget to meet all of the needs of ministries that you support,
not for paying mortgage obligations. Please show your support.

Prayer Chain: To begin a confidential prayer request, or to have names added to the Prayers of the People list for Sunday services,
please contact the church office, 846-8338. If you have an illness, hospitalization, or death in your family, please contact the church
office. If you do not receive a response in 24 hours, please call back. If you have an emergency, please contact the clergy directly.

Finding your Way?
Emilie Sigel and Ailsa Tessier
New to Nativity? Welcome! Here are a few tips for finding your way around the campus. As you come
down the driveway onto the church grounds, the big building on the left is the church where, in addition
to the nave (the big worship room), you will find the nursery and the choir room. Room numbers in this
building begin with 101.
The new building in the middle of the campus is the Education Building with all the classrooms, num-
bered 201–208. The building with the red door is called Estill House, where you will find the parish hall
(Room 11, called Corlett Hall) where we meet for coffee and cookies after the Sunday 10:30 service.
The offices of our Rector Stephanie Allen and Parish Coordinator Jennie Herrick are rooms 5 and 2,
respectively. Estill House also has a small chapel (room 4), a parlor (room 6), and a kitchen. There are
bathrooms in all three of these buildings. Directly behind Estill is a fourth structure, the Adult Learning
Center, with rooms 301-303.
Check out the hallway in Estill House, where you’ll find bulletin boards with information on various
aspects of church activities.
We’re always working to make our visitors and newcomers feel welcome and at home, so please let us
know how we can do a better job!

Salvation is about transformation as a concise crystallization of what Christianity and the Christian life are
about...transformation of our lives and of making the world a better place.
Marcus Borg, author, Biblical scholar
