Dear Nativity Parishioner,

We need your help!  We have a vital new Ministry at Nativity called the “St. Martha Ministry.”  This Ministry sanitizes the Church after Masses, Prayer, Funerals and Weddings.  We have several amazing volunteers now, but need more to continue to keep the Parish open and operating.

Volunteers are needed for:

·       Monday through Saturday Morning at 8:30am (after 8am Mass)

·       Monday through Friday at 4pm (after daily Prayer)

·       Saturday at 5:30pm (after the 4:30pm Mass)

·       Sunday at 8:30am (after the 7:30am Mass)

·       Funerals / Weddings as Announced

Volunteers can sign-up for consecutive dates / times (i.e. every Tuesday at 4pm) or for a single date / time.  We need a minimum of 2 people to sign-up for any given date / time slot to keep that event open, with a maximum of 6 people.  Sanitizing typically takes ~15 minutes, especially if we have a few volunteers.  Any volunteer under 18 years old will need to be accompanied by an adult.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me at: CarolynM@NativityChurchNJ.org if you have any questions or want to join this important Ministry!

Thank you & God Bless you,

Carolyn

Parish Secretary

Saint Martha, pray for us that we might serve Jesus better. Help us to overcome our distractions and worries to listen to his words and be present to him this day. 

My Jesus, 

In these days of isolation and quarantine, I miss so much the chance to receive you in Holy Communion, and to be united with my sisters and brothers in person.

My deepest desire is to receive You into my soul, to be nourished by You, the Bread of Life.  Since I cannot while in isolation receive you physically, I ask that You fill my heart with Your presence and love.

Protect me from harm, and never allow me to be separated from You.

Amen.

     Jeanne’s Prayer Blanket Ministry makes lap-sized fleece blankets that will be given to adults and children who are sick or are going through extremely difficult times.  We pray that this ministry will bring all those who receive these prayer blankets comfort, peace and hope.

      No skill is necessary, just a prayerful and willing heart!  We will meet on the third Thursday of each month at 9:15am in the parish hall.  All are Welcome!

      If you would like to get involved in making these blankets, request a blanket or make a donation to help off-set the cost, please contact Sue H. at 732-741-1714, x20 or SueH@nativitychurchnj.org .

  Please watch future bulletins for details on how to request a prayer blanket or if you would like to make a donation in honor of someone to help offset the cost of the blankets.
