TGBC #8 The Worshipping Community
(Matthew 18:19-20, Acts 2:46-47)
“Again, truly I tell you, if two of you agree on earth about anything you ask, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them.” (Matthew 18:19-20)
Why is it so important to attend public worship at church, especially when it can sometimes feel boring or include elements we don’t enjoy? It might be hymn singing, liturgy, offering, communion, or other parts of the service that feel unattractive or disconnected. Many people also find deep satisfaction in being alone with God. They value privacy and individuality over communal and public expressions of faith. In reality, church attendance is often much lower than official membership, which can be discouraging. This raises an important question: what is the true narrative behind public worship, and how can we build a strong worshiping community? What does it really mean for us to gather and worship together as a community?
Come join us at Jonesville UMC! Our Sunday service begins at 9:30 a.m. You can also connect with us via livestream at Jonesvilleumc.org at the same time.
Blessings,

Meet, Know, Grow in JESUS AT JUMC
JUMC Outreach Mission of the Month for March is
City Mission of Schenectady
City Mission of Schenectady, founded in 1906, is dedicated to sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ in word and deed. Our ministries are seeking to comprehensively meet the needs of the poor in a manner that dignifies and strengthens the individual, the family, and the community.
Our goal is to provide not only HELP for today, but HOPE for tomorrow. We want to help people who are in need right now by meeting basic needs like food, shelter and clothing. Providing these life essentials are at the core of who we are.
In addition, our hope is that we can do more than just meet basic needs… we want to transform lives. Together, we can help people begin to dream again and think about what they want their future story to look like.
We help those future stories come true by providing spiritual guidance, counseling, training, classes, life and job skills training and so much more! We don’t receive government funding, so we couldn’t do any of this without the generous support of concerned individuals, churches and businesses.
JUMC will be serving at the community dinner on March 19, April 22, and May 27.
