“O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever.”

Psalm 107:1

Beloved in Christ,

As we approach this season of Thanksgiving, my heart is filled with gratitude for each one of you. I love to sing “What a mighty God we serve”. His mightiness and His goodness have been revealed throughout the year. The past year, like many others, has brought challenges and blessings, moments of great difficulty, moments of suffering as well as moments of joy. Yet, through it all, God has remained faithful. Thus far, He has helped us, and we have continued to walk together in faith, love, and hope.

I invite you to thank God for the gift of this church family. Thank Him for every member who contributes to maintain it strong through prayers, faithful service, their generosity, commitment to Christ and to the ministry of his Church. Your love and dedication continue to strengthen our parish and bear witness to the presence of Christ among us. Whether you have been worshipping at the Church of the Nativity for many years or have joined us more recently, please know that you are a valued and beloved member of this community, an important worker in His Vineyard of the Lord.

Thanksgiving invites us to pause and remember the many blessings God has placed in our lives—not only the blessings we can count one by one, but also those we carry quietly in our hearts: the love we have received, the peace we have experienced, the strength that has sustained us, the joy we have shared, the hope that continues to guide us into tomorrow, and many more.

For some, Thanksgiving will be a time of laughter and celebration around a full table. For others, it may also be a time of remembrance, especially when a beloved family member or friend is no longer present at the table. In those moments, may the Holy Spirit draw near to you, comfort your hearts, and fill the places of absence with the assurance of God’s unfailing love. May we remember that, even in seasons of loss, we are never alone, for God remains with us.

As we give thanks, let us also remember those who may be facing loneliness, illness, hardship, or uncertainty. May our gratitude move us beyond ourselves and inspire us to become instruments of God’s love, compassion, and generosity to those around us. A simple act of generosity matters.

On behalf of the church leadership, I thank you for being the hands and feet of Jesus Christ in our parish and in our wider community. May the Lord bless your homes with peace, your families with love, your tables with abundance, and your hearts with the joy of his presence.

May this Thanksgiving season renew our faith, deepen our gratitude, strengthen our fellowship, and remind us that “the steadfast love of the Lord never ceases.”

I look forward to celebrating the Thanksgivings service with you with joy, faith and hope to all that God will continue to accomplish through us and among us in the days ahead.

With love and thanksgiving,

The Rev. Amirold Lazard, Incumbent

As we once again approach the holy season of Christmas, my heart is filled with gratitude for each one of you. This blessed time of year invites us to pause from the busyness of daily life and to reflect on the profound mystery of God’s love made visible in the birth of Jesus Christ.

In the Christ Child, we see a light that no darkness can overcome—a light that brings hope to the weary, peace to the troubled, and joy to all who welcome Him. May this light shine brightly in your homes and hearts throughout this season and into the new year.

I want to extend my sincere appreciation for the kindness, generosity, and faith you have shown throughout the past year. Whether through your prayers, your service, or your presence in our parish family, you help make our community a true reflection of Christ’s love.

As we gather to celebrate the Nativity of the Lord, may you and your loved ones be blessed with deep peace, renewed hope, and the comforting closeness of God. Let us continue to walk together in faith, supporting one another and sharing the Good News with all whom we encounter.

Wishing you a joyous, grace-filled Christmas and a blessed New Year.

With prayer and gratitude,

The Rev. Amirold Lazard, Your Pastor

“Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you”. 1 (Thessalonians 5,18)

Dear Beloved Members of The Church of The Nativity,
As we approach this season of Thanksgiving, my heart is full of gratitude for each of you. This year has brought its share of challenges and triumphs, yet through it all, we have remained united in faith, love, and purpose.

I thank God daily for the gift of this church family. Your prayers, your service, your generosity, and your unwavering commitment to Christ continue to inspire me. Whether you’ve been worshiping with us for decades or just joined our fellowship, you are a vital part of the body of Christ here at The Church of The Nativity.

Let us take this time to remember the countless blessings we have received—not just the ones we can count, but the ones we feel: peace in the storm, joy in the journey, and hope for what is to come. May your homes be filled with laughter, your tables with abundance, and your hearts with the presence of the Lord. May the gap left by a loved one at your table and/or in your heart be filled by the Holy Ghost. Give thanks in all circumstances!

On behalf of the church leadership, thank you for being the hands and feet of Jesus in our community. I look forward to all that God will do through us in the days ahead.

With love and thanksgiving,

The Rev. Amirold Lazard, Incumbent
