Envisioning Our Future
Motto Contest - Describe the scope of Nativity in 6 words or less
Day for Praying and Visioning
On Sunday, March 30th, several members of our congregation gathered together to join in Bible study, prayer, and listening to discern the answer to the question, “Who is God calling the Church of the Nativity to become?” As a part of that process, they were invited to create a model of the church they heard God calling us to become. These models are the result.
Take a look at them, and the descriptions that accompany them, and see if you agree that this is who God is calling our congregation to become.

The various symbols represent:

Larger Picture |
- leaves, fruits, butterflies of many colors and shapes represent diversity;
- colorful ribbon is river of life; God's spirit that flows through and nourishes us;
- branches reach out to all;
- fruits of our labor nourish those who enter;
- netting symbolizes spirit of God and our spirit as well;
- foot prints come and go;
- strong roots are grounded in love: Christ's love for us, our love for him, and our love for one another.
