Meal Train!
We have a couple of small groups that hear of people who may need meals for a short time, or even longer. Perhaps they are recovering from surgery, cancer treatments or short term illness. To be more effective, we want to consolidate this ministry and open it up to the entire community. Nativity has an excellent group of individuals who help with meals for funerals, but we want to always do more. If you’re one of those people who want to help, but just don’t know what to do, then sign up to help with this. It’s an easy way to help in a big way. For more information, contact Ms. Geri Waskiewicz 615-969-0319.
The Meal Train is up and running! If you are needing meals, please contact Ms. Geri Waskiewicz 615-969-0319. If you are wanting to help, please look for signups periodically published for those in need.
MEN4HIM
is a Fellowship of Catholic men proud to be Men of Faith. Unfortunately, some Catholic men, see Christianity and going to Mass and saying the Rosary as sissy stuff, or say “I just don’t have the time.” Our goal is to Love God, Love Others, Make Disciples for Christ and grow Spiritually as Brothers in Christ!
Typically, we meet once a week for an hour on Thursday mornings with a study leader for each session. Generally, most of us meet for the 9:00 Mass and have enough time to make a visit to the Rosary Walk for individual Prayer before our 9:45am meeting time. Our topics are generally issues of the day important to the Catholic Men of 2022 that enhance his Spiritual Life, Family Life and his Life Skills as Husband, Father and Grandfather. We hold each other accountable in our goal for Eternal Salvation for ourselves and all our loved ones. If you have questions at all about our group, please call Tom Vogel at 404 403-0935 or email thomas.vogel0705@gmail.com.
