Jerseyville UMC

Thank you to everyone who was able to be with Jerseyville UMC for the 4pm Christmas Eve Service held jointly with our sister congregation, Foundational Truth Bible Study Ministries!

We thank the Lord for His safe travel blessings on the young couple who drove 500 miles to make it here to be with Mom for the holiday! We also ask for the same safety on their return-trip home.

We pray for comfort for those of us who have lost loved ones this year and are struggling to find any joy in the holidays.

We ask God to send healing to those of us who are fighting short-term and long-term illness.

Help us to commit to feeding those living right among us who are hungry; providing clothing to those without warm winter gear; finding good shelter to those without it.

Finally we ask Jesus to send His peace and rest to all of us who are just plain weary and exhausted from our busy, crazy, worried lives. Amen

Since 2005 my family, my church and the other churches, synagogues, and Islamic centers in the western part of Monmouth County, NJ have supported this Emergency Housing and Advocacy Program winter overnight housing project for homeless men. Please read the post I'm sharing about the Holiday Party held for them this past Tuesday. It meant so much to the guys !

We assist, empower, and educate individuals who are homeless in securing housing and other benefits

For those of you who have been following Jerseyville UMC on Facebook, but haven't joined us in person or via Zoom. I invite you to join us via Zoom. I realize that with Omicron wreaking havoc, many of you will feel safer doing everything from home. Thank goodness for Zoom which will allow you to do just that ! You can give us a try any Sunday, 12-1pm, via Zoom by going to the Jerseyville UMC website (https://jerseyvilleumc.org) and clicking on the Zoom link that is displayed right under the picture of children of all colors with hands joined.

Jerseyville will again celebrate Christmas in July this coming Sunday, July 25th, by collecting canned and dry foods, toiletries, and paper goods for Joshua House. Mid-summer has always been one of the times food pantries really need our help, and this year they need us even more. It would be great if you could join us for the Worship Service at 12pm and bring a gift of food for Joshua House ! If you can't join us but want to drop off a food gift for Joshua House, please feel free to leave it just inside the church's front door or on the front porch any time between 10am and 1pm on Sunday. Thank you ! 🎆🎄🙏🎁

I'm sorry for the long period of silence, but it's been a crazy three-and-a-half months.

BIG NEWS: Jerseyville began in-person worship services on Sunday, June 6th at 12pm. All of our members are fully vaccinated, but we are still wearing masks during the worship service so that we can sing together (finally!). We want to protect any visitors and our sister congregation, Foundational Truth Bible Study Ministries, with whom we share the Jerseyville building.

VISITORS ARE WELCOME, but for now masks will be required of everyone attending. If you forget your mask, don't worry as we have a supply of masks available.

YOU CAN STILL JOIN US FROM HOME IF YOU PREFER: just go to our website, https://jerseyvilleumc.org and click on the Zoom link or use one of the Zoom phone numbers to connect.
