Search Committee Update
Our
Search Committee reports very good progress with the interview process of our
search. This Friday, June 25th, one candidate will visit Nativity as a
follow-up to our committee’s visit to his parish earlier this month. He will
visit with his wife and two of his children to look at Nativity and Sarasota
and will meet with the Search Committee and with Nativity staff members. We
will keep you informed, as prayerfully all this hard work will, through God's
calling, bring a new priest to Nativity.

Worship Team
Nativity's Worship
Team recently completed their annual training sessions. Special thanks to
our team of worship trainers: Deacon Deb Blackwood with Eucharistic
Visitors; Nancy John Langdon with Lectors, Crucifers, and Eucharistic
Ministers; and Dick Berg with Ushers. If anyone is interested in being a
part of the Worship Team, please contact me. We need at least four more
Eucharistic Visitors and five more Eucharistic Ministers. There is also a
need for more Lectors, Crucifers, Ushers, and Greeters. If you
currently serve at your “home” church during the summer months, please
consider serving at Nativity as well. Your experience and service will be
appreciated. Children ages ten and up are also encouraged to join the
Worship Team. Please pray and see if God is calling you to a ministry of
service. Our next training session will be held in January, 2005. — Ros

Praise Report
(Praise report from
Marilyn Davis)
Many of us at Nativity know Helena Stephens and her grandson who has
accompanied her regularly to church. His name is Jory Vicens. Jory was
recently accepted to a Christian Academy and boarding home for boys with
special needs. When they applied, there was one vacancy. He was accepted.
Helena and I attended the end of the year awards night, and this six-foot
handsome lad walked away with several awards.
Students at Christian
Academy are home-schooled, and the school's standards are higher than the
requirements for the state of Florida. Although Jory has only been there about
six weeks, his progress has been amazing. He loves it and will be staying all
summer – an elective choice. Jory would love to get mail from those who know
him.
Jory wrote the
following poem as an assignment:
What I Want From God
(A Teenager's Prayer)
Dear God,
My dad is gone,
my Mom is hear
Sometimes I want to dissapear
From life, from humanity --
I want to live peacefully.
What I want
from God, is a new life
without pain and anger, away from danger.
Friends have
gone, friends have come
What I want from God is a chance,
A chance to say sorry,
sorry for making my moms life a living HELL!!!
Love,
Jory Vicens
