NEWMAN SMALL GROUP COMMUNITIES

This year we're asking ALL students to be part of a Newman Small Group Community. Whether you team up with a few friends or are part of a faith study or another regular group at Newman, or are a new or returning student who would like to be paired up with a group, we want to make sure we're caring for each other for the year. If you're a regular with an already established group, then we're challenging all of you- the Lord has given us an imperative to care for the poor, and that includes those who are in need of connection and community. If you're new or don't know many people at Newman, take a chance on this- you may form some of the deepest friendships you'll ever have.
