The National Brotherhood of St. Andrew has appointed April 27th as the National Service Day, when chapters nationwide are encouraged to perform a service project in their communities.
The Dallas Assembly has targeted our workday at Camp All Saints. All Chapters (Holy Nativity included) are to join there for a day of outdoor trail preparation and general make-ready for the camps summer season. Bring gloves and protective clothing and tools if available, but the camp does have most tools that would be needed.
It would be great to have a nice contingent of people from our Parish. Anyone interested in participating should contact Robby Gerber, Brian Prestemon, or John Phipps. We will need to let the camp directors know the numbers who will be attending (so they can feed us lunch) by April 15.
This is an opportunity for us to invite our neighbors, co-workers, church members and church youth to join us in this worthwhile workday.
Women’s Bible Study will not meet during Holy Week. We will resume on Thursday, April 4th, with a new 8 week study. We will be reading a book on dealing with suffering and loss titled, “Holding on to Hope” (by Nancy Guthrie) and the accompanying study on the Book of Job. Books will be available for purchase at the first meeting ($7.50).
The Brotherhood of St. Andrew will be sponsoring its annual Super Bowl Party on February 3, 2013. This is a FREE event and open to the entire Parish and guests.
Please plan on attending. Food and drink will be provided, We will also have a free raffle for all attending.
This Fall, Fr. Garrin will lead an 8-week class for middle schoolers, high schoolers and adults during the Sunday morning education hour. The study is focused upon encouraging and equipping Christians to serve as spiritual leaders in the home.
