What is Epiphany?
Dictionary.com hasthese definitions:
1. (initial capital letter)a Christian festival,
observed on January 6,commemorating themanifestation ofChrist to the gentiles inthe persons of the
Magi; Twelfth-day.
2. an appearance or manifestation, especially of a
deity.
3. a sudden, intuitive perception of or insight into
the reality or essential meaning of something,usually initiated by some simple, homely, orcommonplace occurrence or experience.
We are now in the season after Epiphany, a seasonthat begins with the visit of the wise men, when it
becomes clear that Jesus is a king not just for theJews, but for the whole world. The seasoncontinues with one epiphany after another, asJesus identity as the Son of God and Savior ofthe world becomes progressively known. Inepiphanies such as the appearance of the Spirit at
Jesus baptism, the call of the disciples, thehealing of the sick, and the Transfiguration on the
mountaintop, we who follow Jesus learn more
and more about who he is and who God is.The question of Epiphany, though,is more than
just who Jesus is definition 2 above. The most
important question of Epiphany for us is how weunderstand and relate to him definition 3. InJesus, Christians believe, we have an insight into
the essential reality of our existence. The essentialtruth of Jesus is that he represents the being ofGod if we want to know what God is like, welook at Jesus.
And what looking at Jesus tells us is that God is
love. Love so intense that it gives itself completelyfor us. Love so complete that it would endure any
suffering or hardship for us. Love so genuine thatit will not rest until all are called into its embrace.Love so challenging that it will not simply let us
rest in love, but will call us to self-giving ministryto the world, following the example of perfect lovein Jesus.
May you look at Jesus this Epiphany season, andexperience the epiphany of the essential reality of
life Gods love for you and for this world.
Blessed Epiphany,
Susan

Waynes WorldThis January is my 1st anniversary
as an Episcopal priest. A major
emphasis of my ministry has
been and continues to be
creating a culture of biblicallyliterate Christians who also call
themselves Episcopalians.
Considering all the wacky stuff in the
media that passes for Bible teaching it is imperative
that we Christians hold up our end as a community of
learned lovers of the Bible. The Bible is the book of
our faith and the narrative of our collective lives. Le
yourself be caught up in whats available to you at
Nativity in the realm of Adult Christian Formation.
Bible Study on Sunday mornings and our new
Wednesday Night Transforming Questions seriesare great places to start. For a super fun outlet for
learning try Big Fun Bible Movie Night which has
offerings in both the comedic and the sublime.
See you in Church.

Big Fun Bible Movie Night Presents!
Greetings, Nativity movie mavens! Big Fun Bible Movie Nightis kicking off the second half of SeasonTwo, and youneed to get these dates on your calendars now, because seating is limited and nobody wants to get left behind when itcomes to these special nights.Heres what you need to know:
Friday, January 30: an extremely (R-rated) satirical andcomedic tale of a hapless Jewish guy named Brian Cohen who is mistaken for the Messiah, andyou can imagine how it goes from there. It features Always Look on the Bright Side of Lifeand the Python boys at their best. (1979; 1h, 34 m.)
Friday, February 13: a dramatic interpretation of the novel byNikos Kazantzakis, was an ber-controversial film when it came out. It graphically depictsChrists life and struggles and ultimate collusion with Judas in His betrayal and death, followedby His marriage and long, post-crucifixion life. Starring Willam Dafoe and other cinematicluminaries. (1988; 2h, 42.)
Friday, April 10: an Academy Award-winner for Robert Duval as a TexasPentecostal minister whose life takes so many bad turns that he changes his name, moves toLouisiana and becomes a radio preacher. But things still go bad, even when hes having extendedmonologues with God. Farah Fawcett and Billy Bob Thornton help out. (1997; 2h, 14m.)
Friday, May 8: BFBMN wraps with a made-for-the screen production of RichardStrauss hair-raising one-act opera about one of the Bibles really bad girls. (You know, Danceof the Seven Veils, etc.) But I dont know anything about opera, you say? You dont need to.This lush artistically, musically and cinematically performance will take care of all of that.Its sung in German with English subtitles and it is stunning. (Composed, 1905; filmed, 1974;2h, 30m.)
Doors open at 6:15 PM; showtime at 6:30.Color commentary and theological musings from Dr. Wayne. Popcorn and miscellaneous munchies provided by MaryLynn and David Bolger and the Friends of BFBMN. Bring the beverage of your choice.

A note from our Music Director Page 5
January is a good month to reflect onour previous year accomplishments. In2014 we showcased the musicministry in quite a few services andevents.
We started the year with Dr. Waynesordination on January 18, with a mixof Gospel and classical music. OnFebruary 23 we invited the ArmenianDuo: Phoenix Symphony violinist
Levon Zarasian and pianist Peter Gharibian performedmusic by Kreisler, Mozart, Beethoven, and Sarasate.
On March 23 we hosted the final voice recital by ASUdoctoral student Christopher Hutton joined by a stringquartet he performed 18th century Italian music andSamuel Barbers Dover Beach. The highlight of theNativity season this year was Olivet to Calvary which
happened on April 12 a dramatic rendering of ChristsPassion with music selection by Maunder and Stainerperformed by our own Nativity Adult Choir and soloistsmezzosoprano Suzanne Rovani and bass-baritone SamKreidenweis, accompanied by a woodwind quartet.Beautiful and meditative Holy Week and glorious Easterservices followed.
We performed two services for our Presiding BishopKatharine Jefferts Schori who visited the church in June.Our annual Bach Sunday happened on last Sunday inOctober. We performed an extremely moving VeteransDay concert on November 9th honoring those that fought
for our freedom with beautiful music delivered by ourAdult Choir, soloists Marcy McKee and Michael Frongillo,as well as guest instrumentalists. We joined the musical
forces with Cantor Melissa Berman from Congregation OTzion during our 4th annual Thanksgiving service onNovember 25th.
The Adult Choir entertained all those who came to theDecember 5th ADVENTure fundraiser with our favorite
Christmas carols sing-along. And last but not least -Christmas celebrations with splendid anthems by Gounodand Rutter, accompanied by a woodwind trio. This year thAdult choir took their ministry outside and has joinedmonthly sing-alongs at the Vi Silverstone Care Centerorganized by Mary and Alastair Longley-Cooks for theAlzheimers patients. We also did Christmas caroling at thsame location in the beginning of December. What a joy tbring music to the Vi Silverstone patients!
Suzanne Rovani is back with us for the Spring semester.Marcy McKee who did such a wonderful job substitutingSuzanne in the fall is taking her time to finish her doctora
thesis at ASU. Michael Frongillo, our leading tenor/baritone proved to be a fantastic addition to our choir, notonly enhancing the overall sound of our group, but alsoshowing off his talent in many musical solos this fall. Wha wonderful year of making music!
Big thanks to the Adult Choir members, who make ourservices so much more beautiful. They come to rehearseevery Wednesday from 7 to 9 p.m., and sing every Sundayduring one of the services. If you would like to join thisexciting ministrytoo, please talk to me after a service, oremail me: ilonakubiaczyk-adler@thenativity.net.

Steve Smith
Who isyour nominee for Vestry, Steve Smith? Only the Shadow knows(sorrybut let us not talk falsely now, dear reader: if youve gotten this far, you can be prettysure youre the only one)When your priest asks you to write a brief biography, you are torn between the desiresto craft a serious, solemn biopic and something self-deprecating which amounts prettymuch to sound and noise signifying nothing (I coined that phrase, by the way).More important, I think, is this: as your Vestry delegate, what can you count on mefor?
!Ive been a pledging, card-carrying member of Nativity for around six years. I will behere (in part) to represent and engage both our longtime members, and also thosewould-be parishioners we wish to attract.
!Im well-intentioned. Now, they say the road to Hell is paved with good intentions,but I find them in general to be underrated. I will always listen to you with sincerity, and aspire to work hard in onyour behalf if I find your cause to be just. My follow-through does not always reach the level of my goodintentions, but I hope that most of the time it does.
! I think I am an intelligent person. But I weigh evidence and opinions critically, and attempt to leaven any conceitwith a thoughtful nature.
If this sort of thing matters to you: Im from a good Midwestern home in South Dakota. I have college degrees inLiberal Arts and English. My most recent career incarnation is that of entrepreneur in graphic design. I have beenhappily married for 21 years to Claire Smith, former Vestry member and all-around good egg. I sing in the choir, serveon the Marketing committee, do graphic design, sound system coordination and other electronic-type things for thechurch. I love my mother. One of my character defects is that my tongue may be too firmly lodged next to my cheek.
I love Church of the Nativity. If youll have me, then I will gratefully serve.

Colleen Whichello
I have been blessed with a strong foundation in the Catholic Church and a rich
variety of experience in multiple Episcopal congregations, due to a number ofcorporate relocations. My service has included Sunday School/VBS teacher,publicity/communications, food ministries, and fund-raising. Here at Nativity, I ama greeter, an Offering counter, a volunteer with the Santa Maria food ministry, and,most recently, a Shepherd.
I would bring to my service on the Vestry a deep appreciation of the amazing workthat both clerical and lay leaders have already forged here at Nativity. I hope toshare and use the transformative Spirit here at Nativity that I have personally felt inmy own life as a guide and resource to focus on upcoming opportunities andchallenges.
The youth group will beselling Super Bowl SnackPacks to support theMission Trip! Stop bythe table on in the ParishHall to sign up! The
snack packs will be readyfor pick up at church on
February 1st and will contain avariety of munchies that are perfect for your Super BowlParty!
Each pack will cost $20. You can purchase them for yourown party or to be given to a friend OR for the smalldonation of $300 you can purchase snack packs for15 parishioners!
It would be AWESOME if we could hand out a snackpack to every family who attends church on February 1and have some of those parishioners taking extra snackpacks to their friends and neighbors!
If more than one parishioner chooses to send a SnackPack to someone (like the Snook Family, for example)
ONE Snack Pack will be given to them with a card listingall the names of contributors. We are hoping that thisfundraising event will be successful enough that we willbe able to limit our constant requests for money and focuson service and discipleship this Spring.
Please think of purchasing for your friends and neighborsas well as for yourselves to help us make this a successfulfundraiser!
Thank you!
