Due to a unfortunate combination of circumstances, our monthly community dinner, Feed the World on the Green, will not be held today. We expect to return next month on the third Monday of the month, February 21, 2022.

Honoring Those Lost to COVID-19
In response to an invitation from the NJ Office of Faith Based Initiatives, our church participated in a nationwide initiative to ring bells and light candles in honor of those lost to COVID19. On Tuesday, Jan. 19, 5:30PM, we rang our historic church bell 92 times, once for each Bloomfield resident who has died of COVID19. We commend all who have died to God’s eternal care and keeping, and pray that the bereaved may be comforted in their sorrow.
