of faith hope and love The Church of Saint Bernard is called by Christ to help

people grow in their faith through prayer education and worship The Church is

also called to serve the needs of its members and in doing so bring them to a sense

of commitment to their brothers and sisters The Church should also bring hope to

those most in need regardless of their race or creed as it follows the example of

Christ who came to serve and not be served We are the Church of Saint Bernard

and with the Spirits guidance we are the sacrament of Christ to Rockville and the

whole world

United Methodist leaders often speak of the denomination as ldquothe connectionrdquo

This concept has been central to Methodism from its beginning

The United Methodist structure and organization began as a means of

accomplishing the mission of spreading scriptural holiness Methodismrsquos founder

John Wesley recognized the need for an organized system of communication and

accountability and developed what he called the ldquoconnexionrdquo a network of

classes societies and annual conferences

Today our denomination continues to be organized in a ldquoconnectionalrdquo system

which ldquoenables us to carry out our mission in unity and strengthrdquo (Book of

Discipline para 701) Every local church is linked to an interconnected network of

organizations that join together in mission and ministry allowing us to accomplish

far more than any one local church or person could alone
