Backpacks and New Year's
Resolutions
It's the second week of 2015, and you've probably already
fallen off the New Year's resolution wagon--perhaps it's
been a few days since you've made it to the gym (it's too
cold to drive there in shorts, right?), maybe that vow not
to let your mental health be dictated by a group of athletic
young men in helmets and shoulder pads fell away by the
end of New Year's night, which in turn led to breaking
that resolution about only having two beers on any one
night. Well, here's a resolution you can keep, and improve
others' lives in the process. Each week, pick up enough
items to fill a child's backpack for the Backpack Buddies
program. A couple cans of ravioli or Spaghetti Os, a cou-
ple cans of juice or Vienna sausage, some instant oatmeal
pouches, a box of granola bars or fruit cups, and a few Ca-
pri Suns will tide over an entire family during the week-
ends when their kids are not taking their meals at school.
Holy Nativity feeds 104 kids this way, every week, and
your resolution to join in the effort is the key to making
sure we meet this commitment as a congregation.
Lenten Soup Supper and Programs

LAUNDRY LOVE NEEDS YOU!
The story of Laundry Love began when T-Bone (Eric), a homeless gentleman living in Ventura, Cali-fornia was asked a question: “How can we come alongside your life in a way that would matter?” Eric’s response was honest and practical. “If I had clean clothes, I think people would treat me like a human being.” Every single Laundry Love effort, or Laundry Love spin off and/or partnership around the U.S. is attached to this man. Laundry Love believes that through the neutral space of a laundromat, every guest and stranger can become a friend. The Laundry Love initiative con-sists of regular opportunities to help people who are struggling financially by assisting them with doing their laundry. Our first local Laundry Love effort is scheduled for Thursday, January 29
th from 9am-3pm at Wash
Depot on 11th Street next door to the Bay County Li-
brary. Volunteers are needed to coordinate breakfast and lunch, and simply engage in friendly conversa-tion. We also need cash donations. Those interested in finding out more about how they can contribute to make this and future Laundry Love efforts a success can contact David Smith at (850) 774-6475 or [email protected]. You can also explore the national Laundry Love website at www.laundrylove.org.

Adult Christian Education: Father Tom Adult Sunday School meets faithfully every Sunday morning through the double doors at the end of the brick road, Mary Stuart Poole Library. Between services: 9:15 to 10:15. Bring your coffee and cookie. We read and discuss any number of things: the Church Season, the Lectionary Readings for the Sunday, a particular Bible book, story or theme. Members of the group always have a say in what we tackle. The class is led by Mike Dickey and Tom Weller, and always is fun. No registration, all materials provided, come one come all. Tuesday Morning Bible Seminar will resume on February 3rd after our holiday season break. This will be our new startup for Spring 2015 and everyone is invited and welcome, Christian or not, church member or not, parishioner or not, come and bring a friend. Starting anew, this new season we’ll be meeting in the Mary Stu-art Poole Library instead of Fr. Tom’s office conference room Through the Garage. I do appreciate an email ([email protected]) or a phone call to Madge (747-4000) from interested folks, so that we know about how many to count on. We gather between about 9:30 for visiting and coffee, tea, little snack, sit down at 10:00, and begin promptly at 10:05 with opening prayer to gather the Holy Spirit in the midst of us. Class adjourns promptly at 11:15. We’ll have at least a session or two on Mark’s gospel to get started, then the group will help decide our course of reading, study and discussion. This is a seminar session with Fr. Tom as mentor not teacher, and is always tremendous fun. No Bible knowledge required, only interest and enthusiasm. There are always large-print handouts, and plenty of Bibles are available, so don’t let the fact that you don’t own a Study Bible keep you from coming.
We also will be discussing Lent itself a bit in both classes, Sunday School and Bible Seminar, and taking no-tice of liturgical and other changes during the season and Sunday worship that make Lent different and spe-cial. Don't miss it!! Tom+

Another New Year’s
Resolution!!! If your resolution for the New Year was to have a
healthier lifestyle, did that include your Prayer Life?
If that is the plan, the Mary-Martha Circle has just the
right “stuff” to get you started. We are a group of
women who have studied the practices of St. Benedict
and developed our own Rule of Life. That Rule incorpo-
rates supporting our parish and clergy with prayer and
service. The program of study is self-directed, so you
learn at your own rate and comfort level.
If you think this might be a new opportunity for you to
serve the Lord, please contact Gayle Ahrens, Donna Jan-
gula, Edyth Brown, or Laura Johnson. We would love to
have you join us for lunch and fellowship.

tin Hall. This includes greeters and ushers, who are a
very important part of our hospitality outreach. Ques-
tions? Contact Mike Harding, 747-0601 or
Page 8 The Nativity Scene ♫ Music Notes ♫
by Marqua Brunette, Director of Choirs
It always seems appropriate to begin the New Year by
thanking all of the dedicated choir members and musicians
who helped to make our Advent and Christmas services so
special. As their Director, I offer my sincerest thanks to
each and every one of them from the bottom of my heart!
They did an outstanding job and their hard work and dedi-
cation were well worth it.
The Children’s Choir sang beautifully for the
“Lessons and Carols” service and out did themselves sing-
ing on Pajama Sunday, not to mention Christmas Eve. It
was a very busy December for all of the children and they
rose to the occasions. Whether they are robed in their red
choir robes, pajamas, or pageant costumes, they sing with
complete abandon and delight. They take their music min-
istry very seriously and love sharing their song! I am also
blessed with a wonderful group of parents always ready to
lend an extra hand. Now we set our sights on preparing to
sing for future Sundays ahead. If your child has not partici-
pated in Children’s Choir so far and wishes to do so, this is
a great time to start because we begin all new music.
Lessons and Carols was an incredibly beautiful eve-
ning of music and word – lessons were read and heard,
music sung, and word and lessons put into action right be-
fore our eyes. Our attendance was outstanding. Once
again we garnered wonderful publicity prior, along with our
‘reputation’ for this special service. The highlight of this was
receiving three front page color photos from the service in
The News Herald the following morning! Special thanks are
extended to everyone who participated – from greeters to
readers to voices to acolytes to fabulous musicians to solo-
ists and to all who helped in every way – bless you and
thank you! Every part of the evening is important – altar
preparations, programs printed, flowers arranged, food or-
dered, tables set, floors swept and areas cleaned. This is a
team effort and event and thanks go to all who assisted in
any and all ways. Our efforts were well received - it was
glorious! The biggest challenge was the flu and virus bugs
which kept several members from not being able to sing
with us that night, not to mention those who were sick and
had to miss rehearsals along the way. Again this year for
Lessons and Carols, both of our adult choirs, The Rite One
and Chancel Choirs, joined in song, making for a large
and full choir with 20 voices. We worked on this music for
months and it showed. There were comments about it be-
ing the ‘best one ever’ so we were all very pleased and
gratified.
Christmas Eve was also an evening with beautiful mu-
sic by our Chancel Choir and many musicians. The night
was filled with the glory of Christ’s birth in all of our musical
offerings. Last of all, my thanks turn to God for giving us
His Son, whose birth inspired such beautiful music and
scripture and for our gift of music for sharing that blessed
story.
Ash Wednesday is February 18th – so Lent begins
rather early this year. That means we must start working on
Lenten music right away. As in past years, the Chancel
Choir will be singing for the evening Ash Wednesday ser-
vice. This is always a very meaningful service for all who
participate and attend.
*****
We continue to invite you to join us. YOUR voice is wel-
come to join one of our fine choirs! We have much music to
sing and Sundays come every seven days! We look for-
ward to seeing you at one of these rehearsals:
The Chancel Choir
Thursday evenings in the church from 6:30 – 8:30 PM and
Sunday mornings from 9:30 – 10:15 AM
The Rite One Choir Thursday evenings in the church from 5:30 – 6:30 PM
The Children’s Choir
Wednesday afternoons in the Choir Office from 4:00 – 5:10 PM
May each of you have a blessed New Year and keep a song in your heart!

Children’s Ministry January/February 2015 by Beverly McDaniel
Being with children during the Christmas season is wonderful. Seeing them enjoy “A Morning with St. Nicholas”, wearing and sharing pajamas in church, and participating in the Christmas Pageant was made even better by the belief that they are building a foun-dation of memories and knowledge of the meaning and traditions of Christmas in church. Abundant thanks go to our parents and volun-teers for their attitudes of cooperation and contributions of time, talents, and treasure. In addition, many thanks are offered to all who let our performers and readers know how very special, valued, and loved they are here at Holy Nativity. Mark your calendars for more upcoming events that appeal to children. Although the young children may not be as interested in the business of the Annual Parish Meeting on January 25, they do love the breakfast, and the nursery will be open for them. On Souper Bowl Sunday we get to dress to support our favorite teams and bring soup to support two of our Outreach Ministries, Backpacks and the Food Bank. Remember too that the Wednesday Evening programs are fun for the children. At five-thirty, come join us. Beverly McDaniel
