CHURCH FACILITIES & THE COVID-19 CRISIS

Having consulted guidance from the PC(USA), Newark Presbytery, the CDC, and a variety of other reputable sources, the Session of the Bloomfield Presbyterian Church on the Green has determined that the church facilities will remain closed at least through Sept. 12, 2020. The decision was unanimous. The only exception to this decision relates to our hunger ministries. The Food Pantry and Feed the World on the Green will remain in operation in their current modified fashion. During this time, our employees will continue to work remotely, coming into the building only when absolutely necessary. Worship and Fellowship opportunities will be offered virtually, Vacation Bible Camp will be offered via Zoom, and we will experiment with new initiatives such as Movie Nights. Please check back and visit our Facebook Page for updates, news and events.

All Church Work Day, Sat. April 28

April 8, 2018Buildings and GroundsWork DayRuth Boling

Come to an all-church spring clean-up and work day, Saturday, April 28, 9 AM-1 PM, rain or shine. All are invited. Grab your tools, gloves, rakes, rags and most certainly your friends and families. The more the merrier. Fun is the order of the day. We have jobs to fit all skills and talents (or lack thereof). Not physically up to it? Come anyway for the fun and fellowship. We have yard work, rooms and windows to clean, lights to dust, things to move. The possibilities are endless. Many hands make light work so come join the fun and fellowship of working together. Hoping to see lots of you there that morning.
