Embracing Change as Part of God’s Plan
Romans 15:13 NIV
“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” (Romans 15:13 NIV)
As a congregation, Jonesville UMC is in the middle of a season of transition as we say a heartfelt goodbye to Pastor Youngjae and warmly welcome Pastor Leanne. It is a time of change filled with many emotions. When we encounter change, it often leads to new beginnings. As Christians, we are called to embrace these new chapters that God opens for us and our pastors. New beginnings can bring about growth and opportunities in fresh ways. By stepping out in faith, we allow God to work through us as together we embark on the exciting paths that God has planned for us.
Come join us at Jonesville UMC! This Sunday we will be looking at change and transition from God’s perspective as shared through the Holy Scriptures. The worship service begins at 9:30am. You can also join us via livestream at JonesvilleUMC.org at the same time. We hope to see you there!
Blessings,

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.
