Nazareth Protestant Community
January 7, 2016
Welcome Back!
I pray that you each had a restful and meaningful winter break. It went by really quickly. It's quiet around here this week. I look forward to seeing you all in just a few short days.
We will be kicking off this semester with worship on Sunday. It's Baptism of our Lord Sunday. A day in which we remember Jesus' baptism, and in that, our own baptisms. All are welcome to join us for a service of baptismal remembrance. And if you haven't been baptized and want to talk more about it and what it means, feel free to come by and see me.
I love baptism. I love how in the sound and feeling of such a common element--water--we can be reminded of such ancient and sacred truths. We belong to God. We are forgiven. The grace and love of Christ is like waves washing over us, unceasing and unstoppable.
Start the semester off with an opportunity to ground yourself in the truths of baptism. See you Sunday!
Blessings,
Nadia

Spring Break service retreat to Clairvaux Farm! March 6-12, 2016
Who will we be serving? Deep Roots at Clairvaux Farm is a community that aims to serve children and families affected by homelessness and poverty. They provide transitional housing, educational opportunities, and spiritual support to families in need.
What will we be doing? We will provide support by completing necessary construction and clean-up projects and interacting with Clairvaux residents. We also take a day to explore Washington D.C. and meet with representatives from the National Coalition for the Homelessness.
If you are looking for a way to engage your faith and serve in the spirit of Christ over this spring break, I encourage to come and by and pick up an application at GAC 164 or to email nmullin7@naz.edu to get an electronic application. This is a life changing opportunity to serve others and live in community for a week.
