STEWARDSHIP REFLECTION
"Stewardship not Hoarding"
"Each day the people are to go out and gather their daily portion; thus will I test them, to see whether they follow my instruction or not." (Exodus 16:4b)

Stewardship is about responsibility. God tested the Israelites when gathering manna, not to hoard unneeded amounts. We are also called to be content with a fair portion and be willing to share the rest with compassion.



COMBINED PARISH BBQ
The Annual Chicken BBQ held at St. Teresa of Avila is quickly approaching. It will be held on Sunday, September 13th. Please join us for a great time, and a chance for all the merging parishes to have a "get together." If anyone is interested in helping with the BBQ or wants to donate something for the Chinese Auction held that day, just call St. Teresa of Avila's rectory at 455-2323. The next planning meeting will be held at St. Teresa of Avila Rectory Meeting Room August 6, 2009 at 7:00 p.m. Call (856) 455-2323 for more information. We need lots of volunteers! Please join us. Hope to see you there!



HYMN SING FOR UNITY!!
Save the date for the next Hymn Sing on Friday, August 21st at St. Teresa's from 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm.

Dr. Gladwyn Baptist will once again lead us in Song along with some musicians from each parish. If you missed the first Hymn Sing here is your chance to join us for a fun evening of song, inspiration, and fellowship. There will be music for all ages so families are encouraged to come. Refreshments will be served afterward in the Church basement. We are also asking for volunteers to bake or bring cakes, cookies, and brownies as before.

Please call Pat Hannum at 455-2292 to volunteer or if you have questions, or ask your Core Team members.



MERGER CORNER
The Transitional Liturgy Committee discussed ways how the music ministries from the four merging parishes could be combined at a recent meeting held at ICC. Among the ideas discussed, one suggestion was that the choirs could rotate among the four churches. The Transitional Liturgy Committee also discussed forming a "Music Council" that would plan and develop our music ministry and include the music/choir director from each of the four merging parishes. The Transitional Liturgy Committee's next meeting is August 17 at St. Teresa's. Also, our second Unity Hymn Sing will be held on August 21 at 7:00 at St. Teresa's. Our first Unity Hymn Sing was a great success. We encourage our fellow parishioners to attend on August 21 and enjoy the musical talents of the men, women and children of our merging parishes.
