Nativity Notes for the week of March 29th-April 5th, 2017

Nativity Notes for the week:

March 29th- April 5th, 2017

Nativity: an inclusive faith community nourishing the body, mind and spirit of the people in our south metro neighborhood.

We are looking for people to enhance our musical worship experience for Palm Sunday, Holy Week and Easter. If you play a brass instrument, or any instrument for that matter, that could help us make our service music for these special services even more prayerful and impactful, please reach out to Jamie Manzi-Moore as soon as you are able. We’d like to enhance our congregational hymns and possibly other pieces too!

You can reach Jamie at jamie.manzi-moore@nativitymn.org . Thank you!

We will be holding our Annual Progressive Dinner on Saturday, May 6, 2017 from 5:00 to l0:00PM. We’ll enjoy a social hour, and then break into small groups for dinner at various homes. We’ll end the evening with dessert at church.

If you wish to invite friends that are not members of Nativity, they are very welcome. As before, we are asking that this be an adult only event, although child care is available at Nativity and there will be a “free-will’ donation for this.

Dinner will be provided for the children.

Maundy Thursday Vigil

“Stay here and keep watch with me?” Matthew 26:38

The night before he was handed over, Jesus made this request of his friends. Here

at Nativity, we keep this watch with Jesus overnight on Maundy Thursday and into

Good Friday morning.

Come for an hour of your choice between 9:00 pm on Maundy Thursday (immediately after the service) and 11:00 am on Good Friday (just before the noon service). During the vigil time, you will find a garden area for sitting or kneeling as well as a labyrinth to walk in as you pray. This is a holy time to wait with Jesus in silence and contemplation.

Please sign-up for a time on the poster in the Gathering Room.
