		<description><![CDATA[  A BeFriender is a companion on the journey of others in need, offering listening, presence, and compassion.  Someone who can allow others to express their own feelings without telling them how they should or shouldn&#8217;t feel. We are thankful for our trained and currently active BeFrienders:  Marge Cagley, Patty Craft, Marlene Daul, Cathy Duffy, Renelda Hushka, Jan Kester, Al Peach, Joann Peterson, Dorothy Renner, Wayne Sanders, Greg Schmalz, Maureta Studebaker, Dorothy Thiessen, Don Tillisch, Karen Walz, and Naomi West. If you are interested in the BeFriender Ministry program, please consider attending the upcoming information night.  It is scheduled for Thursday, November 12th, 7:00 p.m. in the Nazareth Room. (Written by Marlene Daul)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From the Parish Nurse,Nativity So often the news about Dementia is pretty bleak. Here are six areas of the brain which are not affected by Dementia: the area where music is stored,one&#8217;s sense of humor, ability to read non-verbal language, sense of touch and social graces. Families may be encouraged by these findings.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Thursday, May 21st, the Nativity BeFriender Ministry Program gathered for a potluck dinner in thanks and celebration of another year of BeFriender Ministry here at Nativity.  We were fortunate to have Fr. Gary Luiten and Fr. Kevin Boucher join us for the evening.  After dinner, the BeFriender Ministers were able to share personal reflections of their ministry with our pastors. The BeFriender Ministry Program was established in 1989 at Nativity.  BeFriender Ministry is a lay pastoral care program to provide a listening presence to individuals in a time of need.  This ministry expands the pastoral care of Nativity Church.  The BeFriender Ministers pictured with Fr. Kevin Boucher and Fr. Gary Luiten are Don Tillisch, Marge Cagley, Joann Peterson, Cathy Duffy, Jan Kester, Al Peach, Patty Craft, Naomi West, Sister Juliana Wisnewski (Pastoral liason), Renelda Hushka, Wayne Sanders, and Marlene Daul.  Not pictured are Donna Clark, Dorothy Renner, Greg Schmalz, Maureta Studebaker, and Karen Walz.]]></description>
