Our annual Live Nativity takes place on the Friday evening in December closest to Christmas. The community gathers to follow Mary and Joseph on a narrated walk through the church grounds to the stable in Bethlehem where shepherds, angels, three kings and live stable animals greet the baby Jesus. Choral music is sung by the Bloomfield Chorale. This Bloomfield tradition is free and open to the public. Children from the community are invited to participate as shepherds and angels.

Joint Capital Campaign for Sanctuary and Steeple Clock Restoration
We are overjoyed to announce the launch of a Capital Campaign, conducted jointly with our partner organization, the Sanctuary on the Green Arts, Cultural and Community Alliance (SOGA), to fund the functional restoration of the sanctuary and to repair the 19th century steeple clock. With your support, we will again sing hymns and bow for prayer in the sanctuary on Sunday mornings. With your help, we will also fling wide the sanctuary doors at other times for concerts, theatrical performances, lectures and community events. Just imagine!
