The MAY luncheon will be on Monday the 12th in KILLIAN HALL.
It will be our last luncheon of the 2007-2008 year. We will meet again in SEPTEMBER, starting our 2008-2009 season. This month’s entertainment will be Dolly O’Dell. She is a great entertainer.
If you’re 55 or over, please come and join us for lunch. The cost of the luncheon is $9.00. Remember to make your checks out to S.J.N., marked Hilltopper’s May luncheon on the memo line and send them early to the church or give me a heads-up call, so I have a count for the caterers. For any information, please contact John VandenHeuvel at

 A new ministry is beginning at St. John Neumann to give the parish family an opportunity to socialize. On the 2nd and 3rd Sundays of each month from 9:30 am to 12:15 pm , donuts, juice and coffee will be served for a small donation in Lind Hall. We are looking for more volunteers to help with this new fellowship ministry. If you are interested in helping to serve the donuts, please call the parish office and speak to Bill Marten. As the ministry grows in volunteers, we can look at expanding in other ways! |

 Sadly, many women choose abortion simply because of the financial concerns of having a baby. Birthright of Atlanta is a crisis pregnancy counseling center that helps these women to choose life by supplying them with necessary items. The Respect Life Ministry will be Helping Birthright with this task through our May Baby Shower.
One of the first obstacles encountered by an expectant mother is the need for maternity clothes. Often, it is the gift of maternity clothes that saves the baby, so this is a most urgent need. All sizes are needed, but particularly large sizes. We can also accept gently worn maternity clothes. Other necessities include crib sheets, cloth diapers with pins and plastic pants, baby towels, wash cloths, bibs, as well as office supplies.
CRAFTERS GET READY!
The Respect Life Baby Shower will be held May 8.
Can you knit, crochet or sew? If so, we need your help! The SJN Respect Life Committee will sponsor a Baby Shower during the month of May to support the Birthright Center in Atlanta. They are in need of blankets and booties. These will be presented to women in crisis pregnancies. Now is the time to get started making booties! For free patterns, go to http://www.geocities.com/giftsfortheunborn/patterns.html . Watch the bulletin for further details. |

 Sharing Their Gifts of Time and Talent
Lynn Fonseca
How do you share your time and talents?
I am a stay-at-home mother of three who rarely stays home. I am a WCBS Core Team member, participant and former facilitator on Wednesday mornings. I am Lector Coordinator and member of the Liturgy Committee. I am an EDGE Core Team member for our middle school program, as well as a Eucharistic Minister. We also participate in the Family Formation program.
What got you started?
To share my faith with others, deepen my love of Christ, and to serve my faith-community by becoming an active participant in our liturgies.
Why do you continue?
To please God, first and foremost. My spiritual journey is ongoing, so the more time I spend in the Word, participate more fully in Mass and share His message with others, the closer I get to my goal, heaven.
~ Favorite Moments ~
Having a former student come up and hug me. Hearing a fellow parishioner stop me after Mass to tell me I read “beautifully.”
~ Quote ~
“This is the future ~ this is God’s wish for us ~ to serve through love in action, and to be inspired by the Holy Spirit, to act when called.” -- Mother Theresa |
