Items needed: diapers (any size), wipes, pacifiers, bottles, lotion, baby wash, , shampoo, blankets, baby clothes, thermometers, baby bath tub, or any other baby items.

On Saturday, June 21st, we will assemble the baby tubs to distribute to the food pantry and Birthright. We would like the help of our youth for this project. Any and all help is appreciated.

| | SCHOOL NEWS There are so many things going on in our school right now, I need a road map to keep up. We are so excited for the Fine Arts Night on May 20th at 6:30 PM. The students of St. John Neumann will really show off their talents. I can’t wait.
Thank you all so much for buying all the Sarris Pretzels. I am almost ready to balance the School Budget. I just have one more fundraiser, and it’s such a fun one. On column 5 of this bulletin there is a sample of the ticket that can be bought. The good thing is—you do not have to be present to win.
God Bless you for all you do for the children. Sister Coletta
SUMMERTIME GREAT ADVENTURE BIBLE TIMELINE CLASS
This summer we will be repeating the first 12 of 24 classes of Jeff Cavins’ Great Adventure Bible Timeline. Classes will be held on Mondays from 7:00—9:00 PM in the Parish House beginning May 19th. The Bible Timeline Study is basic enough to suit those who haven’t studied the Bible before while at the same time offering ways to go deeper that will challenge the Bible study veteran. Salvation history is covered from its beginning in Genesis through the coming of Christ an the establishment of the Catholic Church. Throughout the Bible Timeline you will
- Read the 14 narrative books of the Bible—the ones that tell the story—in chronological order.
- Learn God’s marvelous plan of salvation history and see how your faith story fits into ‘His-story.”
- Study key Old Testament passages in light of their fulfillment in Christ
- Learn how Catholic Tradition views the biblical narrative and how to use the Catechism of the Catholic Church as a study reference.
- Gain a greater appreciation for the Scripture readings you hear at Mass
- Lay a strong foundation for further Bible reading and study.
Please respond by May 11th to 412-681-1698 or call for more information.
