Sunday worship at 11:15am -
In-Person and on YouTube
Boonton UMC: A fun, musical, relevant, relational, and compassionate church
where people find hope, healing, and wholeness.
This week, we not only invite you to celebrate mothers of all kinds with us, but we hope you will reflect with us on what it means that God, like a loving mother, nurtures and cares for us as children.
Join us as we continue in the last two Sundays of the Eastertide season with some very special services.Whether in-person or on YouTube, we look forward to seeing you for Sunday worship at 11:15am!
**Special Note: Pastor Donald will be away through May 24th.
If you have a pastoral emergency during this time, please call Pastor Dawn Maffetone at (201) 841-3090.**
*Other Special Note: There will be no weekly email next week.*
You can sign up in the narthex this Sunday! This course will take place weekly on Tuesday evenings at 7:30pm in the narthex of Boonton UMC, starting May 16th. You can email Steve Bodensiek atstbodensiek@gmail.com to find out more!
What is the Bible? How did it come to be? How can we understand it better? This class is not a class where we learn about Bible doctrine, but a class where we learn about the Bible itself, and give you the tools you need to understand it better.
