Welcome to Bloomingdale Mennonite Church

 During the 2026 Epiphany season at BMC, our worship will be shaped by the theme of “Jesus’ concern for all.” The seed idea for this worship series arose during a Worship meeting. The idea was to invite reports from different organizations in our community that show special concern for the most vulnerable members of our community and, more globally, of our world. The main title of the series – “I have come that they may have life” – comes from the Gospel of John chapter 10, where Jesus is depicted as the Good Shepherd who cares for his sheep.

 

Over the course of the 6 Sundays preceding Lent, several local organizations will send representatives to speak at Bloomingdale, reporting on the work they are doing and how our community might be an ongoing support to the organization. Paired with each organization will be scripture texts that lend themselves particularly to demonstrating Jesus’ concern for all, with the first Sunday beginning with the image of Jesus as the Good Shepherd in John 10. May God use this worship series to uplift us as we consider the concern of the Good Shepherd. May God also empower us to “feed” and “tend” to the sheep and lambs in God’s care (John 21:15-17) by engaging and supporting local organizations meeting the concerns of the least of these.
