The Rainbow Connection

God said to Noah, “This is the symbol of the covenant that I have set up between me and all creatures on earth.” Genesis 9:17

“Why are there so many songs about rainbows and what’s on the other side? “

Why are there so many controversies over rainbows? The clamor all around us is that culture has stolen the rainbow and Christians need to take it back. But scripture says it is the symbol of God’s covenant with ALL creatures on earth.

So what is the rainbow connection to God’s story? This Sunday we will be looking at the rainbow and God’s covenant. See you Sunday at 9:30 AM and then at 1:00 for our clam bake!

“Someday we’ll find it, the rainbow connection, the lovers, the dreamers, and me.”

Pastor Leanne

Meet, Know, Grow in JESUS AT JUMC

JUMC Outreach Mission of the Month for September 2026 is
Freshwater Friends

We were introduced to Fresh Water Friends last year and Audra Wood, Executive Director came to JUMC and shared in her sermon how important and crucial it is for communities around the world living in remote villages to have clean water and how Fresh Water Friends can make it a possibility. They are a 501(c)3 nonprofit public charity and celebrating their 10th year Anniversary this month! Their global mission is to share the love of Jesus Christ by providing clean water to communities in need. They work with local partners to build wells, provide water delivery and filtration, and find creative solutions to water problems on a village-by-village basis in many countries. FWF’s vision is to share the joy of clean water and the hope of living water with every thirsty person – until no one is left unreached.

If the villages are to get clean water and in most areas the water they have access to is not truly clean and children there die of illnesses associated with unclean drinking water. In most situations many young women walk 3 miles one way to carry water weighing up to 30 pounds and this may mean that it is impossible to go to school because of the time it takes them to bring the water back to their villages.

Last year JUMC provided the means through your monetary donations of $1,700 given to FWFs which was used to build a borewell in a village. We received a letter thanking each of you from the village spokesperson via FWFs:

“Thanks to this generous gift from Jonesville United Methodist Church, the community now has a steady source of clean water. The installation of the borewell ensures better access to drinking water, supports agricultural activities, and reduces the burden on families, particularly women and children, who previously struggled to fetch water from distant sources. This intervention enhances health and hygiene and strengthens the economic and social well-being in our small village. On behalf of the entire village community, we would like to express our deepest gratitude and sincere thanks for your generous support in providing a borewell for our village. This borewell has become a great blessing to all of us. Previously we faced many difficulties in accessing clean and sufficient water for our daily needs. Women, children, and elderly people had to walk long distances to fetch water, often facing hardship and health challenges. But now through your kindness and compassion we have easy access to clean and safe drinking water.”
