Backpack Ministry
Holy Nativity every week packs backpacks for 93 students from a local school with food who would otherwise go hungry over the weekend. Volunteers of all ages help by packing the backpacks, and with pickup and delivery. Once a month our group called Wine, Women, and Backpacks meet and make a night of it which includes packing, bringing your favorite wine to drink, and going out to dinner.
Food Bank
Holy Nativity has an active Food Bank where parishioners bring donated food for distribution to local organizations who give to the needy in the community.
Supper At Grace
Holy Nativity supports this ministry of Grace Episcopal Church, which is located in Panama City Beach. The second Thursday of every month we volunteer to cook and serve dinner to the needy at Grace.
Veteran’s Day Service
Every year during the week of Veteran’s Day, Holy Nativity Episcopal School and Church honors our Veterans at a school chapel service.
English Tea and Fashion Show
Every year we present our English Tea and Fashion Show in the spring. This is always a popular event and all the proceeds go toward charities in the community.
Angel Tree
Every year during Advent, we have an Angel Tree with names from a local nursing home with their Christmas wish list. The wrapped gifts are then delivered to them for their Christmas party.
Advent Outreach Family
Every year during Advent, Holy Nativity collects donations for a family in need from the community. The youth group goes out and shops, wraps, and delivers the gifts.
Laundry Love
Several times a year parishioners give their quarters and volunteer at a local laundry mat to provide assistance in cleaning clothes for the needy.
Holy Nativity Episcopal School
HNES has been part of Holy Nativity Episcopal Church since 1959. The school offers education for grades 3K through 8th grade. The church will always be in partnership with the school and in making sure that Panama City has a wonderful God filled opportunity of education.
