Benny Hinn Crusade –
Tampa January 17th 2003

The Church of the Nativity is organizing a bus trip to the Benny Hinn Crusade. Be at the church parking lot no later than 7:45 am (with a full stomach). We plan on stopping at the Cracker Barrel on the return trip. Sign up early at the church, but if your plans change, please notifiy us as soon as possible. The cost of $15 per seat will be collected on the day of the trip. There is no charge for entrance to the Sun Dome. The trip facilitator is Wildey Johnson (360-1577 or wildey@surfbest.net)

Northminster invites you to their annual hot dog cookout and Christmas Caroling on Saturday, December 21st at 5:00 pm. Come enjoy a hot dog supper outside in back of the manse. After dinner enjoy a hayride and caroling. We plan to be at the Life Care Center (just north of University Parkway on Tuttle) about 6:15 pm to walk the halls and share a little Christmas joy. The hayride will take us around DeSoto Acres. After caroling, come back to the church to enjoy hot chocolate and s’mores around the fire.

Please call Northminster’s church office (355-4729) or sign up at Church of the Nativity if you plan to eat supper. This will help in our planning.

All are welcome!

Outreach to the Homeless

Jesus told us if we feed the least of one of these, we feed him. So, to start the new year off right, on February 2 we are providing Throne of Grace Church with forty bag lunches to feed the homeless who attend services there.

If you wish to honor the Lord who feeds us in every way so bountifully, please help.

Last names ending in:

• A-G, please bring non-perishable individual fruit servings (cans or plastic packages)

• H-L, please bring four individual packages of potato chips, trail mix, chips, or something along that line.

• M-Q, please bring six individual cookies or dessert bars that are non-perishable (long lasting)

• R-Z please bring a few dollars (two or three) to buy the lunch meat, bread, and fresh fruit for the weekend.

Please bring these items to the church by January 29 and we will fill the bags during the Wednesday night Bible study.

Ladies Nightgowns Wanted for the eight women living at Le Foyer in Prt-au-Prine. These women are all alone, living together and cared for by the Sisters of St. Margaret.

Please bring any nightgowns to the fellowhip hall. Any size, with sleeves (long or short), preferably with button opening.

Thanks!

To preserve the Memory Garden Endowment Fund, we are now including an extra $25 cost to cover the engraving and shipping of the personalized memorial bricks in our beautiful garden walkways. Donation opportunities are available to support this brick-by-brick memorial.

You can leave a legacy at two levels: $125 and $1025.

Please visit this serene place among the oaks. Listen to the trickling waterway; meditate in the picturesque gazebo or worship area; sense God’s peace in this nature preserve.

Thank you for your support.
