NATIVITY’S CHILDREN OFFERTORY PROGRAM

CHILD’S NAME_________________________________ PARENT NAME_________________________________ ADDRESS______________________________________

BCA or CCD grade_______ PHONE (______)________________________________

Children benefit greatly when they learn that we all have a need and obligation to give back to God. They need to hear the stewardship message—that God has given them many unique and special gifts.

I ask you to support the effort by first and foremost bringing your child to Mass every weekend. Remind them to bring their envelopes with them and talk with them through the week regarding their thoughts and feelings about Stewardship of Prayer, Service, and Sacrificial Giving. This program IS NOT to raise more money for our parish NOR DO I expect you to give them money. Include grade.

To register a child who is not in BCA or CCD, please complete this form and place it in the collection basket.
