n ordination is never only about the person being ordained; it is an act of the whole Church and a   

 visible sign that God continues to call and equip people for ministry. Through the raising up of priests

   and pastors, the Church bears witness that the Holy Spirit is still at work, providing shepherds to serve God’s people in particular communities, places, and times. As we prepare to celebrate this ordination at the Episcopal Church of the Nativity, we invite you to discover a little of Nativity’s story and the community of faith that will gather to witness this sacred moment.
