Rose Baker
1921-2018
We grieve the passing of our eldest member,
Rose Baker, on February 23.
Rose had joined Nativity in 1984, along with her late
husband, Roy. Despite living for most of her widowhood in multiple care facilities due to dementia, she remained joyful, vital and active. She was a retired airline employee who enjoyed world travel and collecting art. A service of remembrance with scattering of ashes will be scheduled in the coming weeks.

As part of our Lenten Wednesday evenings, we'll gather for a soup and bread supper.
This is a great time for fellowship with one another, and in eating dinner as a church family we are fed physically and spiritually.
We need your help to make this happen!
We need 7 soups each week, to be sure everyone is fed. If you can make soup, please sign up using the link below. Setup and cleanup slots are also still open, if you'd like to serve in this way.
