In the spring of 2022, the Nativity Peace Library was established by the Social Justice Team to provide a collection of children’s books that share Nativity’s core values of welcome and inclusion and that celebrate diversity among God’s people. Children can enjoy the books while relaxing in bean bags at the back of the church or they can check them out to take home.
We are seeking more volunteers to help with the Nativity Peace Library. Perhaps you would be interested in helping to label books, write monthly book reviews, help to organize the books each month, and plan experiences for the children. Of course we are always open to new ideas about how to incorporate the Peace Library into our ministry. If you would like to get involved please Email Beth Crow.
Thanks
