This represents just over 36% of our goal from only 16% (126) of our parish families. Keep up the great work!! If you did not write your name, you were not counted in our participation count. Feel free to fill out another pledge envelop with your name and write you gave already. Also when you get a thank you letter from the diocese, please check to see if our parish was credited. If you didn’t write Newman on your pledge envelope, they selected the closest parish to your address. Let us know if this is the case and we can get it corrected. If you haven’t filled out a pledge envelope, please consider filling one out so we can get a high participation score. We want the diocese to know how exceptional we are. ANNOUNCEMENTS BERKLEY CROPWALK — Join our neighboring churches, walking together to take a stand against hunger in our world. Consider either walking or sponsoring a walker. 25% of funds stays local and 75% supports worldwide hunger programs through Church World Service. The walk is on Sun, Apr 19 at 1pm, done by 3pm. Contact Marlene for more info ([email protected]) or check out crophungerwalk.org THE SPIRIT MOVES: Dance Meditation and Praise — In the Spirit of Easter, Carla DeSola, a member of Newman and renowned sacred dance teacher and choreographer, will offer an introductory session on dance as a form of meditation and joyful praise. The session includes stillness and focused prayer moving into celebratory dance. Material is drawn from scripture, music and the urgings of our heart. We will conclude with a chant from Taize. All are welcome on Apr 22, 6:45-8pm, in the chapel. CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS — NEW WELCOME COMMITTEE — For many of us, Newman is the center of our spiritual life; yet, we are also a large congregation, and this can make our church an overwhelming and challenging place to make connections for visitors and newer parishioners. In order to bridge this gap, we are forming a formal welcome committee to serve as our parish outreach to visitors and new members. Some ideas involve placing our manned welcome table at the church entrance before and after mass, creating a pamphlet detailing the many ways to get involved, and holding a bi-annual social gathering for all new parishioners. If you would be interested in serving on such a committee, please email Gina Gamble ([email protected]) letting her know which mass(es) you attend and times that would be good for you to attend a meeting. -*- SIMPLY STUDENTS -*- EUCHARISTIC ADORATION AND BENEDICTION — Come spend some time with the Lord in the Eucharist every 1st Saturday of the month after the 12:10pm Mass until 4:30pm.
