Worship in the Season of Epiphany

January 19 – The Forecast for tomorrow looks like snow before, during, and after Worship.  Please do not come to church if you are not confident you can travel safely.   Safety first, as we say!

As Pastor, living in the parsonage, I can get to cross the parking lot, open the building, and host a service for whomever is able to come.  Some of you may feel confident traveling.  We will have a very simplified worship for those who can make it.  God is always present wherever two or more are there to worship.  We may or may not be able to stream, but check online and depending on the weather, one of the team may make it. 

We are postponing our celebration of Human Relations Sunday to next week.  For the 26th, we will use the bulletin, order of worship, and reflections planned for this Sunday the19th.  We will also have our Coffee and Conversation after worship on the 26th.  We hope you can join us then.

In the meantime, stay warm and safe this weekend.

Our Mission of the Month for January

Our Mission of the month for January is Human Relations.

United Methodists celebrate on specific days to unite and make clear the commitment of the church as the people of God, and to give everyone the opportunity to contribute to special programs approved and supported by the church.

On January 19, we will be called to make an impact in communities where our brothers and sisters in Christ lack the resources or tools to reach their God-given potentials. Our gifts are part of building beloved community through faith-based volunteer programs, community developers and programs that work with at-risk teens.

For more than half a century, United Methodists have observed this churchwide Special Sunday in recognition of the message Jesus demostrated during his life.

Please consider giving through out the month of January for this Special Day.

Make checks payable to Marshallton United Methodist Church and enter Human Relations in the memo line. Thank you.

UMC Helene Response

Local churches impacted by hurricanes Helene and Milton are helping their local communities across the SouthEast – with the help of the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR).  See this article for more info:  https://www.umnews.org/en/news/united-methodists-offer-relief-after-helene.

How can we help?

  • As a UMC congregation, we budget and pay “Connectional Ministry Funds” every month to support efforts across the “United Methodist Connection” just like this. 
  • We can make flood buckets full of cleaning supplies.  These buckets are already on their way south from a warehouse in Pennsylvania.  We hope to make more buckets as a Mission of the Month coming up. 
  • We can also give individually by donating to UMCOR’s U.S. Disaster Response and Recovery.

Let’s do what we can, and also continue to support our regularly planned Missions of the Month with Pajamas and Cleaning Supplies for St. John UMC in New Jersey.
