St. Bernard's Church

Please join us as we worship our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

Celebration of the Holy Eucharist, Rite Two, occurs every Sunday morning at 10:00am.

WHAT WE ARE ABOUT

Founded in the 1890s along what was then a well-traveled carriage path through "the village" of Bernardsville, Saint Bernard's Church has become home to generations of Episcopalians who have nurtured a common life of worship in the Anglican way.

Inclusive of its membership in the Episcopal Church in the United States, Saint Bernard's is part of the global Anglican Communion, a world-wide fellowship of Christians whose faith and worship derive historically from the Church of England. The Archbishop of Canterbury, in shared ministry with the Primates of the Anglican Provinces throughout the world, is the spiritual head of this Communion.

We are delighted to be able to offer vibrant ministry opportunities to our members and to the community, including services of Holy Eucharist and programs of music, fellowship, pastoral care, education, and outreach.

We welcome you to join us for worship and all other events of interest.    more details

NEWS & UPDATES

VESTRY VOTES FOR GREEN CERTIFICATION
It was my privilege to have been a founder twenty years ago of an organization that is known now as "GreenFaith" (www.greenfaith.org).  With its headquarters in New Jersey, it has reached congregations of many denominations and faiths throughout the country, offering them resources to develop a spirituality that recognizes God's call to us as stewards of the Earth. Resources are also offered to bring an awareness of environmental responsibility to congregational activities, and to join others in advocacy for changes that will help the environment as well as those most impacted by ecological degradation.
One of the interesting byproducts of the process that leads to a congregation becoming GreenFaith certified has been the attraction of younger people for whom these issues are an increasing concern.  At our vestry on April 21, your parish leadership has agreed to initiate the process of St. Bernard's becoming such a congregation.
A "Green Team" w
ill be formed to take St. Bernard's through this two year process. At present, its members consist of: Rev. Skip Vilas, Steve Galpin, Valerie McEntee, Julia Somers, Dan Somers, Jack Fritts, Libby Galpin and Candy Ashmun.  Author:  Fr. Skip Vilas
4/15/13:  A MESSAGE FROM FR. SKIP:
Friends, As we go about our lives today in the beauty of a budding springtime, may we hug our loved ones and pray for the victims of the recent violence in Boston. In the darkness of human history, there is more need than ever of the love expressed in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.--The Rev. Skip Vilas
