A quaint little Episcopal Church building sits in the middle of the town of Water Valley, MS. Although the current structure was rebuilt after the earthquake of 1984l The church body dates back to 1869. Water Valley is a town filled with old buildings and history, and I am pleased to say that today, I have become a member of the congregation worshiping there now. Having been Episcopalian for many years before now, this a way of moving back home for me,
I decided to move back to the Episcopal Church after the 2024 Election. I perceive that our nation is in great peril, and I felt the need to worship with people who world view is more like mine. Coincidentally, one of the Psalms for November 17, 2024 is as follows:
God is our refuge and strength, *a very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth be moved, *and though the mountains be toppled into the depths of the sea;Though its waters rage and foam, *and though the mountains tremble at its tumult.
The Lord of hosts is with us; *’Psalm 46
History of the Chruch or the Nativity
“Church of the Nativity is a mission-size church that is a member of the Episcopal Diocese of Mississippi. Church of the Nativity has been in Water Valley, MS since 1869. In 1918, the Presbyterian Church was purchased and remodeled by the congregation, to replace the earlier house of worship that had been located a half-block to the north, on the northwest corner of Main and Clay streets. On November 1, 1918, the former Cumberland Presbyterian Church building was consecrated as the Church of the Nativity. This building was destroyed by the tornado that struck Water Valley on April 21,1984. A new building was erected soon thereafter on the same site.”
