SUMMARY:Bread for the World Letter Writing Campaign
DESCRIPTION:This month Nativity has observed Hunger Outreach Month\, a month of learning and action around the prevalence of food insecurity and the possibilities of addressing hunger in our community and in the world. \nAfter worship today members from the Hunger Outreach Team will be hosting a letter writing campaign for the international organization Bread for the World.

SUMMARY:God's work. Our hands.
DESCRIPTION:“As… one church\, freed in Christ to serve and love our neighbor\, service activities offer an opportunity for us to explore one of our most basic convictions as Lutherans: that all of life in Jesus Christ…. flows freely from a living\, daring confidence in God’s grace”. \nThe Weekend’s Details:\nThis year\, join us in celebrating some of the depth\, breadth\, and diversity of our community’s acts of service\, reflecting the very nature of our hearts. \nCome walk with us! \n\nThe weekend’s events are chronological so that each activity is open to all\, promoting fellowship and community.\nFor safety\, space in some activities may be limited.\nSocial Distancing and Best Practices for Health & Safety will be used for all in-person activities. Masks are required. Sanitation Stations will be available.\nAll proceeds from this weekend’s activities will support a goal of reaching $1\,000 for 10 Tablets for youth experiencing homelessness\, assisting them with their upcoming school year. Possible through a partnership with LSS.\n\nDid you know? Twin Cities Homelessness… \n\nSince early June\, over 55 Public Parks in Minneapolis alone have tent cities.\nAn estimated 700\,000 youth without a parent or guardian experience homelessness each year.\nHomelessness is growing more because of exuberant housing costs. It would take 127 hours per week at the minimum wage to rent a modest 2-bedroom home.\n30% of homeless people in the Twin Cities have jobs but cannot afford housing.\nNativity has actively participated in helping organizations that aid people experiencing homelessness in our area. Ask us how you can continue to help.\n\nEvent Description:\nSaturday  Sunday September 13\,\nNativity Youth Car Wash\n9 am – 12 pm\,\nJoin us for a ‘Spirited’ Nativity Youth Car Wash in the North parking lot.\n$10 Suggested Donation\n\nVirtual Dragonfly Packing Event\n3:30 pm – 5 pm\,\nJoin us for an open-house style\, come as you are\, virtual Dragonfly packing event.\nSpace is limited; please register in advance:\n\nSIGN UP!\nPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Name *FirstLastEmail *Submit  \n\n\nSunday September 13\,\nNew Small Groups to discuss Dear Church\nLet’s learn to listen actively\, ponder empathetically\, and grow as individuals and as a community\, by having powerful conversations\, with love in our hearts. \n\nBe a part of a growing ministry at Nativity: self-contained\, small groups that are discussing a book called Dear Church\, by Lenny Duncan. Duncan is a black ELCA pastor who writes a love-letter to the whitest denomination in the United States and draws a direct line between the church’s lack of diversity and its lack of vitality. The problems we face are theological\, not sociological\, and he offers a bold new vision for our ELCA denomination. \nYou can find a copy through the Augsburg Fortress or on Amazon. \nGroups will meet for one hour\, once a week for six to seven weeks. No need to read the entire book in advance of the 1st meeting. \nThe Sunday morning small group begins on September 13th. All other small groups will begin once they reach a minimum of 5 people. \nIndicate your interest in a meeting time below and we will connect with you on your group’s start date.  \nThere are multiple small group meeting times available.
