| New Utrecht Church Launches Immigrant Initiative |  Just in time for the “Day of the Dead” commemoration on November 2nd,
an outreach team from New Utrecht has kicked off the second season of
its congregationally supported ESL along with Bible study, immigrant
rights meetings and basic Spanish literacy classes. Evangelist Jose
Reanda of the Evangelical Church of Guatemala, an old friend and
frequent visitor at New Utrecht has come to serve as an immigrant in
residence, providing much needed cultural competency and grassroots
perspective to serving the needs of the more than 5000 Guatemalans who
are not residents of the Bensonhurst – Dyker Beach communities. He has
been joined by ESL teacher Laura Chiara and outreach team members
Vincent La Marca, Pat Capuano, Tina Muir, Carol Dickert and Michele
Paradies. The outreach initiative has taken on the name “Sol de
Justicia” (Sun of Righteousness). Bensonhurst, a community dubbed the
“neighborhood of nations” by an October 2007 New York Times article,
is among the most diverse cultural communities in New York City. New
Utrecht currently hosts a Russian speaking ministry as part of the
mission of the church to be open to new immigrant neighbors and their
need to worship and come together as one community in their native
tongue. | | St. Finbar, New Utrecht Join Forces to Serve up Thanksgiving Eve Dinner |  On Wednesday, November 26th volunteers from both New Utrecht and St.
Finbar’s will gather with local Bensonhurst residents to thank God and
break bread with a Thanksgiving feast for anyone in need. The doors
will be open to families and single people, some celebrating the
holiday for the first time in their new land and others who are living
alone with no one to share the holiday or impoverished families unable
to provide a lavish feast for themselves and their children. The Parish
House doors will open at 6:30 PM on Thanksgiving Eve and will remain
open till everyone at table is fed and satisfied. To help out on this
night call (718) 236-0678. | |
