New Life Night at the San jose Giants - June 26, 2010

Last Saturday evening, the New Life congregation, friends and families enjoyed a great evening out at San Jose's Municipal Field watching the San Jose Giants take on the Modesto Nuts. This was our third year of staking out a block of tickets for one evening of summer baseball with the San Jose Giants. As always, it was very fun!

Even though our home team lost, it was a nail biter through inning 10 and everyone had a great time participating in the audience games and watching El Gigante and the field contests between innings. For some of our group, it was the first time they'd seen an American baseball game, ever! What a wonderful opportunity to share fun and fellowship as a community.

New Life Celebrates Refugee Awareness Day - June 18, 2010

New Life was honored at the Santa Clara County Refugee Awareness Day for its contributions to the Refugee Resettlement Program at Catholic Charities.

The honor and certificate were given out at the Refugee Awareness Day Celebration, which featured our own Cin family as they performed the Cin National Dance! They were one of many performances that afternoon, which celebrated and honored the unique contributions made to our community by the refugees who have made Santa Clara County their new home.
