UMCRB Response to COVID-19
Our church is a place of community, love, and support. In troubled times, connection with God and each other is even more essential. As we remain connected through technology, phone calls, cards, and prayer, may God bind us together in new and creative ways.
In light of this unprecedented event, many of you may be facing unexpected needs and circumstances. If the church can be of help, please reach out to Pastor Jess
via email
or 908-400-2343. We are actively developing a network of support and will do our best to support your individual needs.
