Connecting People to People
Community Meals and Other Gatherings
Nativity is a gathering place for people of all kinds and from many locations within the Mount Washington Valley, western Maine, the Lakes Region and even farther afield. We like to get to know members of our church, visitors to the area, and others in our community through various fellowship opportunities. Weekly we gather after church, usually with refreshments, to catch up and learn more about each other. Nativity hosts community meals, a wonderful opportunity to sit together and to enjoy delicious food. We also aspire to use our facilities as a venue for musical and other events where we can provide a welcoming place for all, usually while raising money for local and other non-profits. Visiting Nativity and sharing a meal or event with us, is a GREAT way to get a sense of the Nativity Lutheran spirit. Please come! To learn more about future meals or events, contact the church office.

Youth and Education
We are a small congregation, but we make every effort to see to it that all people of all ages are engaged in the minsitry of God here in North Conway.
Over the years, Nativity's youth have traveled to National Youth Gatherings (including in New Orleans, Detroit, and Houston). Our youth participate in every aspect of the worship service as readers, musicians, and ushers. We have younger people who are involved in our Explorers of Faith program, Confirmation instruction and youth group. Children are always welcome at Nativity and we embrace the vibrancy, activity and, yes, noise they bring to our community.
For all ages, the primary focus here is the worship service each week. Through excellent music, creative litanies, and engaging sermons, people of all ages grow more deeply in faith. Nativity is truly an intergenerational faith community with a heart for helping everyone see where God is working in their lives. For more information, contact the church office.

Ongoing Ministry Teams
As with every congregation, there are groups of people who gather together on a regular basis to see to it that all of the typical work of the congregation is done. Finance, Worship, Property, Fellowship, Stewardship -- not only does important work get done, but we grow together as faithful friends of Nativity. There is always a need for help, for ideas, and for feedback. To learn more about how to participate, contact the church office.

Thrivent Action Teams
Thrivent Financial is a wonderful company that has representatives all over the country who offer financial services of all kinds to anyone who needs that help. Retirement planning, insurance needs, investment strategies -- nearly anything you can imagine. There are lots of Thrivent members in the congregation. One of the resources a Thrivent members enjoys is something called an Action Team. Twice a year, a member may apply for $250 in seed money to get a ministry off the ground. It's a wonderful blessing.
