Feed the World on the Green: Meeting the Hunger Needs of Our Neighbors The Bloomfield Presbyterian Church on the Green provides a full dinner at no cost once a month to those who come to us hungry. We serve with dignity all those who join us. Dinners are served on the third Monday of every month from 5:00 pm to 7 pm in our Parish House, located at 147 Broad Street, Bloomfield (across from Bloomfield High School).

With all of the hardships facing many individuals and families we want to do our part in making others feel welcome and let them know we care. Please feel free to contact us by calling the church office at 973-743-1796 or e-mail endhunger@bpcog.org. This program is sponsored by the Women's Fellowship of the Bloomfield Presbyterian Church on the Green.

On Sunday mornings and weekday evenings during Advent, Pastor Bob Foltz-Morrison will host a series of discussions exploring the meaning of Christmas in film, songs, prayers, traditions, and stories from our lives. You are encourage to come and bring your family or friends with you. The Sunday sessions will be held on December 6, 13, and 20 at 9:30 am. The weekday sessions will be held on Wednesday evenings, December 2 and 9, at 7:30 pm, and on Thusday evening, December 17, at 7:30 pm.

Family Fun Night December 11 Our next Family Fun Night will be on Friday, December 11 starting at 6:30 pm. Dinner will be served. Sunday School students, their friends, family, Sunday School staff, and anyone who wants to see what all the excitement is about are invited to attend.

Our next Friday Night Dinner is December 11th at 6:30 pm in the Parish House. This will be our Christmas Extravaganza and the entertainment will be a surprise for all who attend. Food promises to be the best yet. Don’t miss it. Tickets can be purchased on Sundays and through the church office.

Just how glorious is God’s grace? What does it mean to be redeemed? These questions are among those which will be discussed at our next book study group meeting on Monday night, December 14. We will meet in the church parlor 7:30 P.M. and will discuss chapters 6 and 7 of “Chosen in Christ: The Glory of Grace in Ephesians 1” by Rev. Richard Phillips. Everyone is invited!
