lovegod loveothers makedisciples WELCOME! WE ARE SO GLAD you enjoyed your First Serve experience. You are about to join an awesome movement. Hundreds of people make up the volunteer ministry staff of Church of the Nativity. Their loving service to guests and members is making Nativity an irresistible environment where lives change through the power of Jesus Christ. Through this process you will be stepping from Membership into Ministry. You may think you re signing up to serve coffee or direct traffic or open doors, but really you will be making an eternal impact for the kingdom of God! It s a big step that comes with big blessing. Jesus promised that anyone who gives up anything in order to serve God will be blessed one hundredfold on earth and in heaven (Mark 10:29-30). Our lives have purpose when we serve one another. Our church is stronger with you involved. (Rev.) Michael J. White Pastor 3
