Sue Bennett

As treasurer of the Diocese of Newark Episcopal Church Women (ECW), I want to thank all the churches, ECWs, and individuals who have contributed to our budget and/or designated funds.

We were able to meet most of our obligations for 2011. Small cuts were made to our contributions to some organizations and larger cuts to camperships to Cross Roads and to the prison ministry. We gave our usual $2000 for Mary Rankin scholarships to five young persons in our diocese and gave some monies to outreach.

During the Advent season of reflection, examination and planning, it’s natural to consider "giving back" for the many blessings bestowed during the past year. But often, after reviewing the numerous needs of so many, a common question arises: What difference can just one person make?

God is Calling - How will YOU Answer? Day of Discernment

Submitted by Randy Johnson on Thu, 09/22/2011 - 3:06pm
God is Calling! How will YOU Answer?
Saturday, April 14, 2012
St. Michael's, Wayne

Early in 2011 the Diocese of Newark embarked on a new approach to preparation for ordained ministry as well as service in lay ministries, based on our belief that it would be valuable to have a common discernment program for aspirants to both the priesthood and the diaconate. In addition, the Commission on Ministry wanted to develop discernment programs for a variety of lay ministries in a context that would emphasize the connections between lay and ordained ministry.

The High School Retreat has been cancelled dur to lack of enrollment.

This retreat is often the highlight of the year for teens! Youth in grades 9-12 will gather at Cross Roads Camp & Retreat Center in Port Murray, NJ on May 18-20, 2012. Last year we stayed up all night on Saturday to raise money for cancer research through Relay for Life. We'll definitely have just as much fun this year!
