Memorial Garden Service Project
More than 25 people stayed after the church picnic on Sunday, May 31, to help beautify the Memorial Garden in loving memory of all the saints who have gone before. Our Confirmation Class students developed the idea as a service project for the church. Many thanks to all who contributed perennials and to all who stayed to weed and plant in the hot sun. God waited until after we were finished working to open the heavens with a much needed rain shower. Extra special thanks to visiting master gardener Rich Lynch for providing so many plants and overseeing our work.

Easter Egg Hunt 2015

Easter Sunrise Service
At the Easter Sunrise Service, we celebrated the new future God provided for humanity in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. On strips of paper provided, we wrote our names, a word to describe Jesus, and the special touch we personally hope to add to God’s handiwork. We wove our strips of paper together to create a visual representation of our hope in the risen Lord. Then each person chose a butterfly, representing resurrection, and added it to the Easter cross, showing that we belong to Christ.

The First Annual Live Nativity brings Bethlehem to Bloomfield
This year we were excited to put on our first Live Nativity. We had live animals, the Bloomfield Chorale, and volunteers from both the Church on the Green and the Iglesia Cristiana Evangelio Completo who braved the bitter cold evening to share the story of Jesus' birth with the town of Bloomfield. Thank you to all of the volunteers who helped make this a must-see event, and to Van Tassel Funeral Home for their generous financial support of this event.

Christmas Pageant 2014
This year's Christmas Pageant was wonderful. The children put on a great show as usual. The story, written by Pastor Ruth Boling, was very apt for the Christmas season as we should always remember the blessing of serving others. We hope you all enjoyed it and look forward to next year's show.
