Our Ministries

---

Sunshine Ministry

Following Coffee Hour on the second Sunday of each month, we have a short time of preparing greeting cards for those in our church family who are not able to be present with us and would welcome a note of encouragement, sympathy, or best wishes. This is an opportunity for us to brighten the days of those we miss seeing in person each week.  All are welcome to participate as often as they are able!

Food Pantry
We provide the local food pantry with Soup-er Bowl Sunday, and also providing helpers for the holiday sorting, packing, and distributing at Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter. We collect weekly donations and also monetary gifts.  Volunteers can sort and pack food for our Thursday evening food distribution from 5:00-6:30 pm. The pantry is located here at the Jordan United Methodist Church at 63 Elbridge St. in Jordan.

What a difference you can make in our community! For more information, contact the Food Pantry through St. Patrick's Church phone: 315-689-6240 ext. 115. Feel free to leave a message. 

Supported Missions
We support missions locally in the Syracuse and Auburn areas. 

Bereavement Ministry
JUMC wants to be supportive of you during times of loss of a loved one. Following a funeral/memorial service, the Martha Ministry is available for you to greet family members and friends with a reception or a lunch/dinner in our Fellowship Hall.  

Church World Service
In May we honor our mothers by raising money for CWS in order to supply blankets when disasters strikes.   We honor our fathers in June by raising funds for CWS. They buy tools which help people around the world gain the resources and develop the skills necessary to sustain themselves and their families and build viable communities. In the Fall, we support the community CROP WALK, which helps us to support our food pantry. 

Camps & Retreats
Camps and Retreats Ministries. Applications are available.  

Church Wide Mission Fair
In December we offer our congregation an opportunity to give meaningful gifts to family and friends while financially supporting our local missions,   UMCOR missions,  and our local Christmas Angel Tree. 

Operation Christmas Child (Samaritan's Purse)
Each fall we begin to collect items to send in our shoe boxes as we bring smiles to children in need around the world.  

Small Group Study
The Bible is the most read and studied book ever written. This is because it has a very special author – God. Periodically we offer small group studies to help people grow in their faith. Please see the "Announcements" on the home page for the next learning opportunity.
