Special Events


 Wednesday Lenten Services

 Two services


As we continue Wednesday services throughout Lent on Feb. 24, March 3, 10, 17, and 24, we will have a 12 Noon service each week.  We will gather for Lenten Vespers at 7 pm followed by a light soup supper.  Please join us for either service or both.  There is a Sign-Up sheet in the Loggia for members and friends to bring in soup to share.

New Adult Bible Study During Lent 

On February 28 and March 7, Bill Griffis will present and lead a discussion on how the four Gospels present strikingly different visions of Jesus.  A principal source is the book, The Four Witnesses, by Robin Griffith-Jones.  The author, who served as chaplain and taught New Testament at Lincoln College, Oxford University, believes that all four gospels taken together provide what one alone could not:  a remarkably full and compelling presentation of Jesus and his message. On March 14 and 21, Becky Mercer will be discussing Miracles, both as cited in the Bible and as we experience them in our own lives.  Becky and her husband David Willoughby (who sings in the choir) became members of Nativity in 2009. Please join us starting at 9:30 a.m. (between services) to share in the learning and discovery that are an important part of belonging to Nativity.

Rummage Sale

 Be a part of a miracle.  Turn your unwanted items into Animals for Lutheran World Relief and/or Heifer International.  Collect your rummage for our annual rummage sale on April 17 and Nativity’s Love Circle will use one  half of their profits to purchase animals from these charities.  You may bring your donations to the church on Thursday and Friday, April 15 & 16.  If you are interested in helping with the sale or would like to rent a space to sell your own items, please contact Ceil at cjthomas@aol.com or 746-8730.  

Spring Book Fair! 

Our Spring Book Fair is scheduled from the 15th through the 19th. It will be held in our loggia and we are so excited to have our “little store” back. Supporting our children's love for books and reading  is emphasized during this special time. We will have classroom wish lists available if you would like to donate a book for your child's class. You help is needed  from set-up to take down of the fair. Please let our book fair coordinator Candace Buddemeier or Ms. Pia know if you can help.Looking forward to filling our Easter baskets with great books

Women’s Bible Study

Women's Bible Study, "Finding Joy" starts on March 1, for 6 weeks.  7:00-8:30 PM.  Please contact Carole Rajan at 308-3146 or crajanlcsw@aol.com for more information.  Come and enjoy a time of fellowship while discovering God's secrets to "an inexpressible and glorious joy" (1 Peter 1:8). 

   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.

Property Work Day

As we begin our Lenten spiritual journey and look forward to Easter Sunday, the Property Committee would like to have our campus looking beautiful for our congregation and visitors. Please mark your calendars for March 20 at 9 AM. We are planning another work day and as usual, breakfast and lunch will be served. Please plan to stop by, if even for an hour. We are counting on a big turnout for this project. Not only will it be appreciated by everyone, it's fun working together.
