VOLUNTEERS NEEDED for Children's Liturgy of the Word

posted Aug 27, 2019, 3:09 PM by Sarah Maris   [ updated Aug 27, 2019, 3:17 PM ]

Childrens Liturgy
"His law is love and His Gospel is peace." 

Who will bring Jesus' message of love and peace, the WORD, to the children?

Most Sundays, during the Religious Education School year, we offer Children’s Liturgy of the Word at 9:30 Masses for Preschoolers through 6th grade. The children hear the readings and an explanation of those readings at their own age level. 

If you have musical, talent we need you too! The children sing a song at the beginning and also sing the Psalm and Gospel Acclamation. It takes quite a few volunteers to facilitate this worthy endeavor! 

 Please consider signing up to help out. There are lesson plans available at our website. If interested please contact Annie DiDomenico at VBS@NativityChurchNJ.org 

 Thanks so much.

New Ministry: Jeanne's Prayer Blankets

posted Mar 13, 2019, 7:39 AM by The Church of the Nativity   [ updated Apr 2, 2019, 6:07 AM by Sue Hodgkiss ]

Jeanne Silvestri

     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.
