- Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s “Life Together” explores the nature of Christian community, emphasizing that it is a divine reality created by God rather than a human ideal. The book highlights the importance of mutual support among believers, the necessity of worship and prayer together, and the need for personal devotion, ultimately arguing that true community is rooted in Jesus Christ.

| Bloomfield Unlocked: What it means to have a Council-Manager Government |
 What It Means to Be a Local Government Volunteer Volunteering with the Town of Bloomfield is a hands-on way to make a difference right here in your community. Local government volunteers play an important role in shaping the services, programs, and decisions that keep Bloomfield running smoothly. Whether serving on a board or commission, helping at community events, or supporting a department initiative, volunteers bring valuable perspectives, energy, and expertise. They are residents who care deeply about their town and are willing to contribute their time to improve the quality of life for all who live and work here. By getting involved, you gain a deeper understanding of how local government operates — from how decisions are made to how policies are implemented. It’s also a great way to connect with neighbors, share your skills, and have a real voice in Bloomfield’s future. If you’ve ever wondered how you can give back or get more involved, volunteering with your local government is a great place to start. |
