September 7-8 | Following Each Worship Hour
At Nativity Lutheran Church, we believe that each of you is enough, just as you are. Your acts of love and kindness throughout the year are a testament to your faith and dedication. This “God’s Work. Our Hands.” Weekend, the ELCA’s national weekend of service, we want to celebrate and sustain you in your ongoing mission of loving God and loving neighbor.
Special Worship
Join us for a special “God’s Work. Our Hands.” worship with Renee Hoffman, Director of Children, Youth, and Family Ministries, delivering an inspiring and affirmational sermon. The service will include tailored music, a special congregation blessing, and a celebratory slideshow showcasing our community’s acts of love throughout summer. Enjoy special hospitality following each worship.
Little Kitchen Service Project
We’ll host an intergenerational service opportunity making treat bags for youth supported by Little Kitchen Food Shelf.
Volunteer at Safe House
Sunday, Sept. 8, 9:00-11:30 am
We’ll do yardwork outside and/or cleaning inside LSS Safe House shelter to support teens who are experiencing homelessness and remind them that they are loved. For those interested, we’ll carpool that day, leaving Nativity at 8:30 am and returning by 12:00 pm. Contact Gail Bergsven at ggantz1@aol.com or 651-329-4446.
Update on Love God, Love Neighbor T-Shirts
We’re incredibly grateful for our community’s enthusiasm! Given the AMAZING response to our Love God, Love Neighbor t-shirt project, our production time will be longer than anticipated. While this means we won’t have t-shirts in time for GWOH Weekend, it does mean we’ll have a bigger impact, as so many in the Nativity community wear their t-shirts at upcoming Nativity events and out in the world, celebrating the many ways we can Love God and Love Neighbor.
For GWOH Weekend, we’ll have conversations starters for everyone around our chosen ways of loving God and neighbor—Nativity’s core mission—as well as visual representations of our collective impact of service! Our t-shirts will extend that celebration beyond GWOH Weekend and into the world every day.
For those who want to order a t-shirt but haven’t yet, there’s still time! Order your t-shirt before or during GWOH Weekend to wear year-round as a source of pride in the gift of service. We’re grateful for everything each of you do every day to let the world know we are Christians by our love! Fill Out the Online Form Here
