Dear Members and Friends of The Bloomfield UMC
& Community,
Greetings to you and your household. May grace, peace and the love of God be unto you. One hymn writer, Thomas O Chisholm writes in his Hymn Great is Thy faithfulness, in stanza two “Summer and winter and springtime and harvest, sun ,moon and the stars in their courses above join with all nature in manifold witness, to thy great faithfulness, mercy and love”. This verse sums up the work of our Creator God, and how his faithfulness is good for all seasons and stations of our life. I pray you experience the love of God anew today and for the rest of your life. I want to express my personal thanks to all of you who support the ministries at Bloomfield, with your presence ,time, prayers and your gifts. We pray that God will continue to bless you and that the witness here will grow from strength to strength.
I am humbled to share with you that I have been reappointed by The New York Annual Conference of the UMC to be your Pastor for the next year. As some of you may know, all United Methodist pastors are appointed or reappointed one year at a time. Thank you for your support and love, I appreciate all of you. As we proceed into the Summer months please be mindful that while you are on your trips or family vacations ,worship will continue every Sunday Morning starting at 11:00 am. If you have not been with us for a while this may be a time to come and worship again. Because of the Summer activities and travel plans for many of our members, we will have a sabbatical for Bible Study for July and August. We will resume first Wednesday Night in September. Prayer meeting continues to meet every Tuesday morning at 6:30 am, via Conference call. We would love to hear from you, we do receive several request for prayers, but you are all invited to join in via the telephone. The conference call # is 1 848 220-3300 with P/C 5203248.
Please save the date, Sunday, July 30, when we will be having our community outdoor worship and luncheon. All members, friends and families are invited to attend. Come for worship in a casual summer outdoor atmosphere and enjoy a meal together under the tent and trees. Just let us know how many friends and family are coming with you so we can cater for all. Bring your lawn or beach chairs for seating purposes. Other upcoming events are ,new members classes starting in August and Confirmation classes in the fall, Should you have any interest or questions feel free to reach out to me 860-841-9726 or Sis Valda Lawrence.
Beloved, friends and family your church needs you. We are looking for individuals to assist with worship service, readers, soloists choristers, volunteers for various projects and committees. You are missing at the table and your involvement can make the difference in someone else’s life and ensure the sustainability of your BUMC. If you can volunteer it would speak volumes to the life of your church. Pray and let God direct you, as we await to hear from you.
I close by echoing the theme of our just concluded Annual Conference,” Stronger Together”. “Two are better than one because they have a good reward for their toil” Ecclesiastes 4:9. May you feel a renewed sense to help renew , reclaim and revitalize your spiritual community. May it be so.
Respectfully Yours,
Pastor Egan
