| New Chapter Meeting The next New Chapter will be held on Saturday, May 16 at 3pm in the Parish Library. This ministry is not a grief group, but more of a social group. It is intended for those who are alone due to death or divorce. We all enter a new chapter in our lives. Some have questions, others have answers and together we can help each other move forward. Everyone has something to offer, even if it’s just a smile over a cup of coffee. If you have any questions or would just like to talk, please contact Mary Tokanos at 908-489-6207 or mtokanos@yahoo.com. |

| Scripture Study Many Catholics want to read the Bible because they know it is God’s Word, but they give up because it seems so complicated. Unlocking the Mystery of the Bible helps you get the “big picture” by showing how fourteen narrative books of the Bible tell the complete story from Adam and Eve to Christ and the Church. Unlocking the Mystery of the Bible will help you discover the story of salvation history and understand how you fit into God’s plan. This eight-session study program explores all twelve time periods of The Bible Timeline®. Upcoming sessions: Wednesdays, May 20 – May 27, 9am-10am in the Chapel. All are welcome. Contact: Tammy McKenna, tammy.nwg@gmail.com. |
