Urban Promise is a non-profit Christian organization in Camden led by the Reverend Bruce Main. The Urban Promise mission is to equip Camden’s children and young adults with the skills necessary for academic achievement, life management, spiritual growth and Christian leadership. Summer programming, after-school support and the Urban Promise Academy all provide opportunities for children to learn and grow in a safe, nurturing environment, as well as providing the largest teen employment in the city of Camden. MUMC youth will use a portion of the money donated to Angel Tree to purchase gifts for the Urban Promise Christmas store to support children served by this program.
Please join us on Sunday, February 4, 2024 at Medford UMC. We will honor Barb for her 35+ years of dedicated service directing our many Handbell Choirs. We don’t want to give away all the details so Barb can be at least a bit surprised. Click here to sign-up if you can attend. Please make sure you list how many people will attend and if you have special food requirements (i.e. gluten free). This will help us make sure we have enough food for dinner.
To make a donation towards a gift for Barb you can visit medfordumc.org/give, use our app, or send a check to the church office. We are looking forward to a special afternoon/evening honoring Barbara Frame.
Operation Santa is run by the Medford Police Department, and gives us the opportunity to support children in need right in our local community. We were given 15 giving opportunities. When you see this notice some of the gifts may have been taken but, if you are interested, please send an e-mail to [email protected] and we will send back the flyer with current availabilities. There is also an opportunity to help with gift wrapping at the Medford Police Station on December 8. If you would be interested in joining a team from our church to help prepare for this event, please email us as well.
Iglesia Metodista Unida Wesley/Wesley UMC is a vibrant Hispanic church in Trenton led by Pastor Rosemary Rentas and a very involved and dedicated laity volunteers. This is our 13th year partnering with Wesley and it is a great pleasure to watch this ministry grow in their new church home on Liberty Street in Trenton. This year MUMC will provide 75 gifts for Wesley to distribute to children and youth in the surrounding community.
The Maker’s Place is a faith-based non-profit organization dedicated to the city of Trenton. We are affiliated with A Future with Hope, and are members of the National Diaper Bank Network. We serve and partner with people of all faiths and none. Launched in July 2018 our vision is broad: to become a resource center that connects neighbors with neighbors in diverse and inclusive community, by responding to the gifts and aspirations of people living in poverty. Originally intended to collect 10,000 diapers for a community birthday party for one year-olds, the Maker’s Place collected 100,000 diapers during our first collection drive. With so many diapers left over, we launched what is now our flagship initiative: our “Diaper Depot,” a diaper distribution program that gives away thousands of free diapers each month to families who struggle to provide enough diapers for their children. We partner with Children’s Futures, a Trenton nonprofit, to provide free baby formula. Through our work we come in contact with hundreds of families and it is from these relationships that we will identify 50 children and young people whom you at MUMC will be able to brighten lives with your gifts.
Jesus, throughout his ministry, modeled courage: courage to challenge religious authority, courage to reach out in compassion to those others rejected, courage to speak the truth not only to power but also to those he loved, and courage to act on his convictions, even at the greatest great personal cost. How can we learn to be that courageous? In this four-week series, we’ll look at Jesus’ life of courage and the ingredients of courage in our own lives: conviction, candor, fortitude, and love. Come join us!

Adopt-A-Box is an annual IHOC program. The purpose of Adopt-A-Box is to collect and distribute basic personal care items to men, women and children who are currently staying in shelters or using day centers. Like Pack-A-Sack, Adopt-A-Box is easy to participate in and is a great way to help those in need. All you need to do is take a shoe box and fill it with basic items such as: toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, baby shampoo, deodorant, underwear, shaving cream, hand lotions, razors, wash clothes, and socks. Once you have filled your shoebox or shoeboxes, mark each one “Man”, “Woman”, or “Child” based on the items you placed in it.
The MUMC youth are off to a very successful start in making “Adopt-a-Boxes” for the Interfaith Homeless Outreach Council. We have 32 completed boxes, 31 that are only missing 1 or 2 items, and enough supplies to make many more with just a few items. Our goal is 100 boxes. Our biggest needs are: empty shoeboxes, shaving cream, shampoo, and underwear. Items can be dropped off in the Narthex. We will be finishing the boxes on February 23. We have set up a Signup Genius, if you would like to let us know what you have to donate.

The MUMC Book Club is participating in the Greater Philadelphia Walk to Defeat ALS on October 26, 2019 at Citizens Bank Park in honor of our friends Glenna Bishop and Diane O’Brien and we need you on our team!!
Every 90 minutes someone is diagnosed with ALS — it robs a person of the ability to walk, speak, eat, and eventually breathe. And what’s even worse is that right now, there’s no cure. You can help by walking with us, donating to us or praying for us!
Will you join us and join the movement to cure ALS? It’s easy to register or donate online at http://webpa.alsa.org/goto/Glennas_Gladiators. If you have any questions, please contact Patty Rosvold at [email protected]
PS – If you can’t make it on October 26, 2019 – please consider making a donation towards our goal of $1,000
REPRESENT MEDFORD UMC AT NATIONAL NIGHT OUT IN FREEDOM PARK ON TUESDAY, AUGUST 6: This year we will be publicizing our TRUNK or TREAT and giving away candy. We are looking for one or two cars to be decorated with a HALLOWEEN TRUNK. The Witness Committee will supply the candy. Join Pastor Kathleen for this fun event to let the community know about the ministries of MUMC. Contact Kathleen or the church office for more information.
Sunday, July 14th is Pastor Appreciation Day, a time when we show our appreciation to Pastor Kathleen and Pastor Joe for their dedication and service to us and hear a word from them. This year the Staff Parish Relations Committee (SPRC), in coordination with the pastors, is planning something extra special. The celebration will be part of the 10:30 service, held in the FLC (traditional service will be held at 9:00 in the sanctuary for this Sunday only), where we will be seated at tables. We will participate in a special 45 minute worship service followed by celebration and then a time to enjoy a light lunch and socialize together. We hope you and your family will plan to be a part of this joyful event.
On Sunday April 28th, we begin a new series based on the book of Exodus. It’s called “Not All Who Wander Are Lost.”
The Exodus is one of the key moments in the history of God’s people. It’s referred to over and over again throughout the Bible. It’s a moment where people redefined who they were: no longer slaves, but free people walking with their God – the one true God, the Creator of heaven and earth.
Sounds beautiful, right? A story of faith in God’s power, God’s guidance and God’s provision.
If you thought that, you’d be wrong. Reality is a lot more complicated. Leaders are a lot more timid. People are a lot less faithful. And yet, God works through it all. It’s a good message for unsettled times. God’s faithfulness overcomes our unfaithfulness. Every. Single. Time.
So We hope you’ll join us for worship starting Sunday, and in reading Exodus over the next few weeks – from now through June 2nd.

Cyclone Idai made landfall near Beira, the fourth-largest city in Mozambique, on March 14. Over the next week, Idai left a path of destruction in Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Malawi. United Methodists are starting to respond to those affected by Cyclone Idai, which left devastation in parts of three African countries and killed 500 people, with hundreds more still missing.
The United Methodist Committee on Relief has allocated three $10,000 grants for immediate, emergency short-term funding to meet basic human needs in Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Malawi. Those needs include water transportation and storage for drinking, cooking and personal and domestic hygiene, along with temporary shelter.

12:00 noon – a brief (30 min) service of scripture, prayer and ashes in the Sanctuary
7:30 pm – a service of ashes & Holy Communion in the sanctuary; Faith Presbyterian Church will be joining us for this service.
You are free to worship without receiving ashes, get them on your hand instead of your forehead, or go home and wash your face. They represent an outward sign of our inward heart. If you’ve not attended Ash Wednesday worship before, come experience it this year!
OUR LENTEN FOCUS: DISCIPLESHIP: Traditionally the Church has invited Christians to “give something up for Lent.” This year, your pastors at Medford UMC are inviting you to “take something on for Lent.” As we journey through Lent together this year you are encouraged to dive deeper into the weekly sermons by engaging with a curriculum that will guide you on a Disciple’s Path. The weekly sessions will run for six weeks during Lent beginning the week of Ash Wednesday and will coordinate with the weekly sermons. The topics are based on the UMC membership covenant “faithfully to participate in the ministries of the church by our Prayers, Presence, Gifts, Service, and Witness.” Please contact the Church Office, by email or phone, to let us know which group you’ll be joining. This is a great way to grow deeper in your own discipleship as you become better acquainted with other MUMC folks on their own journey with Christ.
HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS – A NEW YEAR SERMON SERIES
All of us want better relationships: in our families, with our friends, at work. Often we just don’t know how to get there.

Join us on Sundays at 8:15, 9:30 & 11:00 as we look to the scriptures for wisdom on building healthy relationships
