Bloomfield Baptist Family:

Merry Christmas! I hope this season is a wonderful one for you and your family as you celebrate the birth of Christ our King! As you make plans for those last minute Christmas gifts, I would like to suggest a gift for the men in your life. Con-sider sending them to next year’s Johnny Hunt Men’s Conference. On the weekend of February 10th-11th, I will be traveling with a group of men from our church to attend this life changing weekend. We will leave Friday morning and re-turn Saturday night. During our time at the conference, we will be challenged to be the men of God that we have been called to be. Registration and cost information will be in the church newsletter for the coming weeks. I hope that the men of Bloomfield Baptist Church will join me for this special weekend!

Reaching Bloomfield with You,

Pastor Richard

Notes From Leland... A big “Thanks!” to all who helped with Sunday night’s presentation of “The First Noel: Born Is the King”. From the instrumentalists, to narrators, to singers, to techni-cal personnel - all went above and beyond! The next rehearsal for the Worship Celebration Choir will be Wednesday, January 11th.

Melody, Sarah, Kyle, Emily and I want to express to you our sincere thanks for the many Christmas expressions you have shared with us through cards, gifts, food, and encouraging hugs! We wish all of you a wonderful, Christ-filled Christmas!
