Stewardship 2026

Dear Fellow Parishioners,



If you have attended any Nativity event over the last several weeks, you know that our 2026 Stewardship Season is now in full swing. During this time, we’ve invited those who call Nativity “home” to spend time in prayer, discerning their pledges for the coming year.

This year, the Stewardship Committee has adopted the following as our mission statement:

“Stewardship is the process of the transformation of church, community, and self.”

Over the years, your gifts have provided a safe space for the city of Huntsville to play, rest, and worship. They have made possible countless opportunities for fellowship and service — from sharing meals and ministering to the homebound, to building beds for children and fostering meaningful, life-changing relationships. Most importantly, your generosity has created an environment where lives are continually being transformed by the love of Christ.

If you’ve read any of my previous letters for this year’s campaign, you already know a little about my family and how we were drawn to Nativity. I believe it’s important to recognize the light this congregation shines into every corner of our city. I also want to acknowledge that many of you receiving this letter have been long-time members of Nativity, faithfully giving year after year. It would be remiss of me not to thank you sincerely for your continued generosity. My family, along with so many others in this community, have been the grateful beneficiaries of your faithfulness.

My deepest hope is that, as we reflect on the past and look forward to the future, you are able to see the evidence of how God has transformed this church, this community, and your own life more and more into God's likeness. I pray that you recognize how your gifts—regardless of size—have been instruments of that transformation.

Included with this letter is a pledge card, and the ask is simple: seek the Lord through this process and be faithful. We are praying that each of us would give from a place of joy, eager to participate in the restorative work of loving God and loving our neighbors.

Grace and Peace,

Joel Boyce
Stewardship Committee Chair
