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.

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.

SUMMARY:Blessed Are The Peacemakers
DESCRIPTION:Online/ZOOM Talk and Community Workshop led by Pardeep Singh Kaleka and Arno Michaelis\, founders of Serve 2 Unite and authors of THE GIFT OF OUR WOUNDS.\nWe live in a time of increasing division and expression of hate. How do we respond? How do we ‘love our enemies’?

These brought him love for diversity and gratitude for all life after he left hate groups in 1994. Since his father’s passing\, Singh Kaleka has become a licensed trauma therapist and partnered with Michaelis via Serve 2 Unite\, an organization whose mission is to bring a peaceful society where all are valued and included. \n \nFriday July 24th\n7pm–8:30pm – Moving Past Hate and Toward Forgiveness: A Conversation and Q & A\nAuthors of “The Gift of Our Wounds” Pardeep Singh Kaleka and Arno Michaelis\nwill share their story of forgiveness. \nSaturday July 25th\n10am–12pm – Moving Past Hate and Toward Forgiveness – Workshop for\nYouth and Adults (Parents\, teachers\, those connected with youth). \nFor more information\, contact: Kelly Sherman-Conroy \nLet us know you are coming.
