Welcome to Jonesville UMC

Welcome One Another! (Mark 9:30-37; Romans 15:7)

 “Whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes not me but the one who sent me.” (Mark 9:37)

Jesus told his disciples one more time about his death and resurrection, but they did not understand what he was saying. On their way to Capernaum, they argued with one another who was the greatest.  Jesus called them and said to them, “Whoever wants to be first must be last of all and servant of all.” (Mark 9:35) Then he illustrates the point by taking a little child in his arms and said, “Whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes not me but the one who sent me.” (Mark 9:37) This little child represents the weak, the hopeless, the oppressed, the marginalized, etc.  Do we welcome everyone?  Or do we still put an invisible wall against certain people?  We will think about these together this Sunday.

Come and join us in our Jonesville UMC in-person service at 9:30 am on Sunday or meet us in the streaming service at Jonesvilleumc.org at the same time.

Blessings,                                                                                                                                                                                              Pastor Youngjae

JUMC Outreach Mission of the Month for September is:

Equinox

Having begun over 50 years ago, Equinox is very proud to say the Annual Equinox Thanksgiving Day Community Dinner has become the Capital Region’s largest and longest-running holiday tradition.  This year they plan to serve nearly 11,000 of the Capital Region’s lonely, homebound, or homeless neighbors with help and support of local restaurateurs, caterers and volunteer drivers. Equinox is a nonprofit community organization in the Capital Region serving:

      • adults and youth with chemical dependency
      • victims of domestic violence
      • adults, youth, and families living with mental illness
      • urban teens and young adults
      • homeless youth

They also offer hands-on workplace training to help people get back into the work force.

Monetary donations

Please consider donating on our website or sending a check payable to Jonesville UMC to the church with “City Mission” or “Sept MoM” noted on the memo line. Donations are always needed.
