ECW Supports Cyprus House for Convention Project
Episcopal Church Women (ECW) has chosen Cyprus House Bakery for its Convention Project. Cypress House is a non-profit organization of St. Luke's Church in Scranton. The inaugural program of Cypress House will be a bakery which will serve as a prison re-entry program. The goal of Cypress House is to develop a viable business run entirely by those reentering society. You can contribute to ECW's project by sending a check payable to Episcopal Diocese of Bethlehem with "Cypress House Bakery" in the memo line to: Diocesan House, 333 Wyandotte Street, Bethlehem, PA 18015

Ushers needed for both 8 AM and 10 AM services.
If you would like to become more involved in Sunday’s services, consider becoming an Usher. Ushers are usually the first friendly face people see when entering the church for worship. This ministry is open to all people of all ages. Kilts are, of course, optional. If interested, please contact either Chip Montgomery or the church office.

Fountain Hill Elementary School is seeking mentors
and we would love to have you! We already have several Nativity Church members helping with this service, many who have been mentors for several years.
Our students are identified to receive a mentor by their teacher for both academic and emotional support purposes. Mentors can provide academic reinforcement during their time with their student by working on reading or math skills, flashcards, and worksheets using materials provided by the student's teacher. They can also provide students with the chance to connect with a caring adult to talk, play games, do crafts, and read together. The time commitment is forty minutes a week per student.
If you are interested in becoming a Fountain Hill mentor, please feel free to contact Paige Hoffman, Community School Director, for more information at
phoffman@basdschools.org
or 610-865-5881 x29310. Thank you for your consideration!
