Beginning Sunday, Feb. 7, and extending through the season of Lent, congregations across the ELCA will join together to raise $2 million to benefit the ministries of ELCA World Hunger. This support will enable crucial work to get underway and help us kick-start our year-of-emphasis. Nativity has collected $130 towards this goal. You can continue to give at the Wednesday services or on Sunday. Thank you.
