Thank You, Love You, and Bless You!
(Philippians 1:3-6, 3:12-14, 4:1; John 13:34-35; Numbers 6:24-26 )
“I thank my God for every remembrance of you, always in every one of my prayers for all of you, praying with joy for your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. I am confident of this, that the one who began a good work in you will continue to complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.” (Philippians 1:3-6)
It is hard to say, but it is time to say goodbye. Three words have come to mind as my final words to you: thank you, love you, and bless you. We have shared a wonderful journey together in Christ. I have grown greatly as a pastor, and I have witnessed tremendous growth in our ministry and fellowship. My family and I are deeply grateful for your partnership, support, and companionship throughout this journey. One last time, I would like to remember the new commandment of Jesus Christ as we say goodbye: “Love one another as I have loved you.” Forget what lies behind and strain forward to what lies ahead. Stand firm in the Lord in this way, my beloved. And finally, may God bless you, keep you, and make His face shine upon you. May the peace of Jesus Christ be with you now and forever. Amen.

JUMC Outreach Mission of the Month for June 2026 is
Capital Roots
“We Grow, Educate & Provide”
Since the opening of its first gardens in 1975, to the dynamic and multifaceted organizations of today, Capital roots has worked to reduce the impact of poor nutrition on public health in the Capital region. They organize community gardens, improve access to healthy food, offer nutrition and horticulture education for all ages and coordinate urban greening programs in Albany, Rensselaer, Schenectady, and southern Saratoga counties.
Here are Some key aspects of their work:
Good Food Market: Capital Roots understands the importance of affordable nutritious food for every household. They curate a selection of fresh produce at their Good Food Market, offering the best prices without compromising quality. It’s located at 598 River Street, Troy, NY 12180. (2 Tier pricing: choose purple if you can afford it, consider green if you receive public assistance, have tuition or education expense, have medical bills, or you’re older or on a fixed income)
Community Gardens: The heart and history of Capital Roots lie in their community gardens. Founded in 1975, they now operate over 55 gardens across four counties in the Capital Region. These gardens allow individuals to grow their own food, promoting self-sufficiency and community bonding.
Veggie Mobile: Sponsored by CDPHP, the Veggie Mobile is a mobile market that travels around the Capital region, delivering a variety of fresh, affordable and local produce to communities in need.
Education: Capital Roots provides nutrition education for all ages, empowering people with knowledge to lead healthier lives.
Urban Greening Programs : They coordinate programs that enhance green spaces in urban areas, contributing to a more sustainable environment. Their vision is a Capital Region where every person has access to fresh, affordable, and healthy food. By addressing food insecurity, promoting community gardens, and fostering education, Capital Roots works towards building a more equitable and thriving region.
