Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper
Loosen your belts, put on your dancing shoes, and join us for one more celebration before we begin Lent! Nativity’s annual Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper begins at 5:30pm, Tuesday, February 13. Join us for pancakes, sausage, Mardi Gras beads, and the last Alleluias of Epiphany before we begin the fast on Ash Wednesday.
A Note from Peter (February 2018)
Very often as we look toward Lent, we begin having conversations about our fast, that is, what it is we are going to give up during this period. This year, I invite you to prepare for Lent by focusing on what it is you’d like to gain.
Time and Talent Surveys
Every member on Nativity’s mailing list should have received a four-page time and talent survey at the beginning of December. As we continue our work together as a church family, we are always in the business of recruiting new leaders to guide those ministries that make up our life together.

A Note from Peter (January 2018)
This January, I’m looking forward to a series of conversations on church security we’ll be having during Adult Forum on Sunday mornings. You may think I’m crazy, but I actually can’t wait to talk as a church family about what we need to feel safe in this church.
