LAST DAY FOR THE EARLY BIRD SPECIAL GLEANING- SAT. MARCH 6. Leave Nativity parking lot at 7:30 a.m. to carpool to a field where we will GLEAN corn or tomatoes. The fresh produce is distributed to local needy families by the end of the weekend. On Jan 23 our group of 9, together with other volunteers, picked more than 5,000 pounds of corn. That equals at least 12,000 ears of sweet corn! Enjoy a half day in the country, help feed the hungry, relish a picnic, and maybe sing along with John Bauer’s guitar at the shore of Lake Okeechobee. Questions? Contact Julius or Linda Roehl 561-493-8873. Look for the signup sheets in the Loggia. Express Sandwiches– To Go To St. George’s Sat. March 20 (9a.m.) Join Nancy Steffen in Nativity's Fellowship Hall. Learn how to make 500+ Ham & Cheese or Turkey & Cheese Sandwiches—In one hour or less!
Restocking The Food Pantry at St. John’s Every Day–All Month Thank you for your donations of at least one cart full of groceries each week. Quicker cooking items are preferred: Rice; Dry Beans—Red, Black; Mac & Cheese; Rice A Roni, Pasta, Spaghetti Sauce, Pork & Beans, and Nutritious Breakfast Cereals, etc. Canned vegetables are welcome. However, the “Green Bean Fairy” has overstocked the pantry! So think of collard greens, mustard greens, whole kernel corn, etc.. Granola bars and 100% individual sized juices are a big hit with the kids. Look for “Buy One, Get one Free”. Keep one for your family & donate the other; or, donate both. If you don’t shop for groceries and want to help, write a check to Nativity, or give cash (designate St. John Food Pantry) and your donation will buy food to restock the pantry shelves. Thank you for your ongoing generosity. Collecting for Haiti Nativity Lutheran Church is accepting items for victims of the earthquake in Haiti. We are recommending dry food, clothing, shoes, linens, medical supplies and cruthches. You may drop off your items Monday through Friday between 8am and 5pm or Sunday morning between 8am and noon. We will provide you with a gift receipt if requested. Shopping Made Easy Flower Ministry Edna Koenig and her group of volunteers have been delivering the altar flowers on Mondays and has had great response to it. Our members who aren’t able to come to church or are ill, love knowing that we are thinking about them. But we need your help. We need to know who you think would like to receive the flowers. Please call the office and tell us so that we can be sure to brighten their day. If you have vases you would like to donate to this cause, please drop them off at the church.
