New acolytes will learn the duties of their position, select robes, and learn how to vest. All youth who are in the fourth grade or older are encouraged to discuss with their parents joining this ministry in our worship services. Current acolytes are invited to the meeting to welcome our new servers! ]]> http://holy-nativity.org/2011/12/12/new-acolytes/feed/ 0 Backpack Ministry! http://holy-nativity.org/2011/12/12/backpack-ministry/ http://holy-nativity.org/2011/12/12/backpack-ministry/#comments Mon, 12 Dec 2011 19:50:13 +0000 madge http://holy-nativity.org/?p=991 Next month, Holy Nativity Church and School will join with others in our community by sponsoring a backpack ministry at a neighboring public school. Each week, we will send a child home with a backpack filled with nonperishable food items so the child has something to eat over the weekend, and the child will then return the backpack on Monday so we can re-fill it during the week. This new ministry is a result of the alarming increase in numbers of children who participate in school funded breakfast and lunch programs and the corresponding fear of school administrators that many of these children have nothing to eat on weekends.

To make the program a success, we need your help! There are two ways you can participate. First, your family, perhaps in tandem with another family, may sign up to sponsor an individual child’s backpack (or more than one, if you are so moved). You’ll receive a list of items to fill the backpack each week, and bring those items with you to church on Sunday. We will pack the backpack when we receive it back from the school during the week, and send it home with the child on Friday. The other way you can participate is simply by bringing individual items from the checklist to church, and we will use your contributions to ensure we meet our commitment to the children if some backpacks come up short.

Sign-up sheets for this ministry are located in Battin Hall during Advent. If you have any questions, please feel free to give Mike Dickey a call at 867.2550 or email atmdickey@barronredding.com. This project provides a great hands-on ministry for those looking for ways to meet Christ’s mandate that we feed the hungry, and a way for us to share the Good News outside the walls of the church.

Wednesday nights are back in full swing, 6pm in the upstairs room. If you are a youth family, and haven’t signed up to provide dinner one week, please ask me for the sign-up sheet. We will NOT meet on Wednesday, Sept. 14th, following the Rock The Universe weekend, but I will see you upstairs every other Wednesday this month!

Sunday School – is also delayed because we will be in Orlando on Sunday, Sept. 11th. For middle and high school kids, Sunday School will begin on Sunday, Sept. 18th. We will meet in the upstairs room at 9:15am each Sunday, and will cover the old testament and gospel lessons assigned for that week.

Our youth group is going to take on a special carpentry project this Fall, and we will be making plans for it at our Wed. night meetings. Don’t miss out!

A few days ago we provided several boxes of food and sundries for Family Services, and by the time you read this the Salvation Army will have made another pick-up. You are making a real difference in the lives of those in our community who are struggling to provide for themselves. Please continue to support the Food Bank with your gifts of nonperishable food items, and in particular canned meats, soups and stews, as well as toiletries and items you would anticipate someone would want if trying to maintain a household on little or no money. Thanks so much for your help.
