THIS WEEKEND: Passing of the Mantle

This weekend we welcome the Nativity community as we mark the transition of leadership with the installation of Pastor Angela LaMoore as Senior Pastor. This Saturday evening, Bishop Jen Nagel will perform the installation. For our Sunday worship, Assistant to the Bishop, Jen Collins, will preside over the installation.

We offer gratitude for Pastor Glenn’s tenure as Pastor and together welcome a new chapter as Pastor Angela steps into the lead clergy role. Pastor Glenn will take time off this summer and will then return in a part-time role focused on pastoral care and development. Nativity will hold a formal celebration for Pastor Glenn this fall.
