What’s on Wednesday is a mid-week, fellowship-based program designed to support opportunities for personal, spiritual and Church growth. It is our hope that by providing a warm and welcoming dinner, along with childcare and programming for all ages, that families, individuals, committees and small groups will be better supported in their journey towards discipleship.

Every
year since 1985, the people of Jarrettown have gathered at Harvey Cedars
Bible Conference in Long Beach Island, New Jersey, for the annual church
retreat. This usually takes place during the first weekend of March. The
weekend is filled with opportunities for spiritual growth, fun and fellowship
with your church family. Activities are offered simultaneously for children,
youth and adults. The retreat committee secures professional retreat leaders
for each age group's program.
Every
September Jarrettown families gather for the annual
picnic. With a multitude of activities such as a scavenger hunt, peanut scramble,
water balloon toss, volleyball, basketball, baseball, face painting, chili
cook-off, dessert contest, and singing, and a multitude of delicious food
such as grilled chicken and hot dogs along with salads and drinks, a wonderful
time is had by all.

Vacation
Bible School is a fun, exciting and spirit-filled time for children of all ages! This is an opportunity for the children of J.U.M.C., Emmanuel United
Methodist Church in Philadelphia and the community to gather together to
learn more about Jesus' love for us. The children open & close their day with song, engage in exploration, creative crafts, mission projects, and enjoy sensational snacks.
Each
year a different theme helps children experience God's love.
The busy week is attended bya multitude of children from the church and local community. The week wraps up with an Open House, where the kids get to show their parents all the exciting activities they participated in throughout the week.
A separate program runs at the same time for 5th-6th grade Explorers.
Youth & Adult Volunteers who run the program have as much fun as the kids who are served by the adventure (If not more!)
United Methodist Women’s Ministries is a lay women’s organization rooted in mission whose membership is open to any women who shares its purpose. Our purpose is to know God and experience freedom as whole persons through Jesus Christ, to develop a creative, supportive fellowship and to support local and global missions.
RACHEL CIRCLE - Wendy Hamilton, Leader
The Rachel Circle has been in existence at JUMC for almost 30 years. We (they) have been involved in many projects and ministries over the years including cooking for Aid For Friends, coordinating the Angel Tree project and assembling health kits for Church World Service. Fellowship is very important to us (Spring Tea and Christmas Tea) and we get together on a social basis often. Members come in all shapes, sizes and family configurations – all women at any age are welcome!
MARTHA CIRCLE - Joanne Formelio, Leader
Martha Circle are members of the UMW, who as a united group, are now United Methodist Women’s Ministries. Our Circle meets every third Monday evening in the Friendship Center at 7p. We enjoy fellowship, bible study, serving God in many ways. We have changed through the years as some of us have grown older but we continue to include younger members which I believe helps to keep a circle strong in growth. Our main service to Jarrettown is communion, set up and clean up. We support the UMW by our pledges, help at our annual fundraisers. These go to mission outreach in our community and beyond. As a Circle we also give our money to Ingathering and World Bank. Our man projects are: Laurel House, Aid For Friends, W.O.W. dinners, Pennel School in Philadelphia, books and supplies for kids, Hurricane kits, school kits. We always take on one major project each year. God keeps us united in His love to be able to continue to serve Him as we are called to do so.
Martha Circle annually sponsors a skit at the Church Retreat. This year, 2009, we will be doing a 10th Anniversary special.
