With Covid-19 still making its way into our everyday lives, Nativity’s Children’s and Youth programs kicked off the year in September virtually. Children’s offerings included a Wednesday night jungle-themed social, a worship service just for kids featuring the piano playing and singing of Jason Pace, a few Kids Club Formation lessons, and a Backyard Bible Club gathering to talk about how God created the world. With hopeful hearts, the children will be able to re-gather in November (depending on the Bishop’s recommendations).
The Youth program had some awesome Zoom-based gatherings and even some in-person ones as well. The youth dived into a three-week Formation series focused on exploring faith with games, activities, and small groups, in addition to being able to gather for their monthly Grub Group outdoors and socially distanced at North Hills, and played a few silly games on Zoom to recreate Youth Group. The Youth program has moved back to in-person weekly gatherings, with proper protocols and distancing, on Sunday evenings outdoors under the oak.
