Nativity’s Racial Equity & Justice (REJM) Ministries work to realize a vision of racial equity and justice for all God’s children. They listen, educate, and advocate to recognize and eliminate racism in our church, community, and country.
Service Project throughout February:
Diaper Drive with Redeemer Lutheran Church
Please support the community by donating diapers and/or wipes in the Commons to support families with these basic necessities. Diapers sized 4-6 are especially needed; however, all donations are gratefully accepted. Donations of time are also welcomed, as volunteers are needed for monthly diaper distribution events at Minneapolis Central Church of Christ. To volunteer or learn more, contact Terri Warren, tawarren.joy@gmail.com.
