Bishop Visits Nativity
The Right Reverend John B. Lipscomb will make his annual visitation to
Church of the Nativity on May 16, 2004. We need to be present for this visitation to
welcome him as he reviews our progress since his last visit. There will be just one
service at 9:00 am on this Sunday. Bishop Lipscomb will celebrate and preach. The service
will be followed by a reception to allow each of us to speak with him. If you have prayer
books you want him to sign, bring them along on that day. Your Vestry will be in charge of
the reception in the Parish Hall, and you can help! See a Vestry Member and volunteer.
Many hands make light work!!!
Receipts for the first three months of this year totaled $74,363 — an
incres of 9% over the corresponding period a year ago as a result of higher pledged income
and plate/support donations, but receipts were $2,323 under budget.
Disbursements for the first quarter totaled $79,033 — an increase of
29% when compared to the same period last year and exceeded budget by $1,007. This
resulted in a net loss for the period of $4,670.
The substantial increase in disbursements was the result of the Vestry
decisions to employ a sexton at the rate of $1,000 per month, fund part of the interest
expense on the mortgage from the operating account, and other increased operating costs.
It was also impacted by the change in clergy, which added an additional expense of $3,400.
The mortgage balance as of 3/31/04 stood at $372,201 and reflected a reduction from a year
ago of $18,263.

Golf League News
The 7th annual Nativity golf championship was held Saturday, April 17 at
the Rolling Green Golf Club. Seventy-two golfers participated, plus eighteen diners joined
them for the banquet. It was a great day.
In the most tightly contested events, the team of Lora Salt, Nicki
Coffaro, John Nesi and Ed Jandro won with 54.1. Second place was claimed by Dick Ruhlman,
Ray Kinzel, Jan Lambright, and Bob Croucher with 54.2. Third place went to Charlotte
Davis, George Decker, Joanne Haines, and Jack McClenithan at 55.1.
A true highlight occurred when our own senior warden scored a hole-in-one
on hole five. Rich is now called "Ace" Cooper.
In addition, a whopping $910 was donated to Nativity's discretionary fund
to benefit our parishioners.
