Missions Programs
The church of Jesus Christ is called to minister to all the world.
Jarrettown
Church commits to serve the world through monetary and hands-on means. Evangelism is "sharing the good news."
Missions incorporates two key aspects: Outreach and Evangelism
Outreach is extending the love of Christ through local hands-on mission projects, national mission works, and world missions such as missionary support, relief efforts, planting new churches and providing medical care and safe drinking water.
Matthew 25:35-40 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'… 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'
Ephesians 3:10 "His (God's) intent was that through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known." In other words, the purpose of the church is to talk about God, talk about the incredible things He has done and the incredible person He is. That is our purpose.
Romans 10:13-14 "Anyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved, but who can ask Him to save them unless they believe in Him and how can they believe in Him if they have never heard about Him and how can they hear about Him unless someone tells them." The point of the verse is that you can't know about God unless somebody tells you. That's one of our purposes, to tell the good news of Jesus Christ.
The missions commission is responsible for choosing the projects which the full church will support.

Aid For Friends

Ambler Cupboard (Mattie Dixon Community Cupboard)
To be involved, leave your donations in the appropriate bin in the hall outside the church sanctuary. We are always in need of volunteers to deliver donations to the Cupboard on Monday mornings. To volunteer to deliver donations, please contact the church. |
Angel Tree
An Angel from the decorated tree can be placed on an unwrapped gift at the end of November. Please help us to share God’s love with these children. |
Ministry Team: Bereavement"This ministry is greatly appreciated by the families and friends. I think that we who serve find it one of the most satisfying things we do." This ministry helps families cope with the death of a loved one at a very special time in their lives. Often, families desire fellowship, refreshments, or a luncheon following the service. Our ministry prepares food, sets up, serves, and cleans up so the family is able to visit with their friends and family and not to worry about any hosting details. We usually host events in the Friendship Center, a comfortable, beautiful, home-like setting. The only gifts you need are those of love, caring, and compassion. Contact Carol Moffatt for more information. |
Heifer Project International
If you are interested in donating or want toget involved as a group, please call Heifer at 1-888-5-HUNGER. |
Interfaith Housing Alliance
For more information contact Sue Diehl at 215-643-9615. |
Laurel House
God has blessed us with the financial and physical ability to continue to do our part for this shelter. Our motto as women – “There but for the grace of God, go I.” |
Nothing but Nets
In the poorest parts of the world, where effective window screens are lacking, insecticide-treated bed nets are arguably the most cost-effective way to prevent malaria transmission. One bed net costs just $10 to buy and deliver to individuals in need. One bed net can safely last a family for about four years, thanks to a long-lasting insecticide woven into the net fabric. |
MOPs

One House At A Time

Pray 4 You Car Wash
Aid For Friends, founded over 30 years ago in a church in Northeast Philadelphia, has grown to serve over 2,000 homebound, frail, elderly people in the 5-county area, furnishing daily meals as well as friendly visits. Jarrettown’s members contribute by making meals, soups, breakfast packs and giving financially. Both individuals and groups work in making Aid For Friends a living testament to Christ’s teachings: “In as much as you have done this for the least of these, you have done this for me.” (Mt. 25:40)
From many years our church has been in ministry by donating cleaning supplies and paper products to the Cupboard. These items have been requested by the Cupboard.
The Angel Tree mission was created to share the joy of the season with the children of Methodist Services for Families and Children. 
Heifer Project International is an international organization that supplies funds, animals and education in caring for the animals given to impoverished communities around the world. The first-born animal is passed onto another family and so the gift goes on.
One month each year Jarrettown Church makes its building available to serve as "home" for one to three homeless families. Over 100 volunteers from the congregation provide meals, transportation, child care, and over-night hosts, to make our guests feel at home.
Laurel House is a shelter for abused women. Martha Circle took on this shelter as a mission project close to 20 years ago. We, at Christmas time, send them new items for the women and their children. In the past we have collected and sorted clothing for them. We also made starter kits to be given to women as they found a new life. This project changed through the years but we always remain faithful to our Christmas giving.
MOPS stand for Mothers of Preschoolers, a program designed to nurture mothers’ with children from infancy through kindergarten. MOPS groups meet in churches throughout the United States, Canada and 19 other countries. The women are of many ages and backgrounds, but share the same desire – to be the best mothers they can be.
OHAAT's mission is to help families establish (or reestablish) a self-sufficient life by providing them with the necessities of a functional home environment. OHAAT's current focus is a program called Beds for Kids, which provides disadvantaged children with a basic, but overlooked, need. Countless organizations help families find affordable housing, but assistance often ends there. Few venture inside the homes and see what children endure—shared sleeping bags, makeshift beds (such as sofas and sofa cushions), and crowded mattresses. For the Beds for Kids program, OHAAT purchases discounted twin mattresses and foundations to deliver with bed kits—pillows, pillow protectors, mattress covers, sheet sets and blankets.
A huge thank you from OHAAT to those of you who continue to make in kind donations. OHAAT recycles your old cell phones and inkjet/toner cartridges through Escrip, and proceeds benefit the Beds for Kids program. (There is a collection box in the church lobby/narthex.) And if you'd like to donate new or gently-used twin sheets and blankets for our bed kits, please contact Jean Graber.
The St. Philips After School Program started in 1998 with 35 children; we now have 52 children who come to St. Philips UMC Monday to Friday from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. They do homework, have snacks, play games and learn about Jesus.
