this outreach, and also from
you, the United Methodist
Churches of the Eastern PA
Annual Conference. Won’t
you continue this legacy of
faithfulness by giving
generously to this effort?
Also volunteers are greatly
appreciated as well as the
prayers of God’s people.
With this kind of partnership
the work will continue on
and on and more people will
experience the love of God
through UMNS.

Partnership…
“I thank my God in all my
remembrance of you, always
in every prayer of mine for
you all making my prayer
with joy, because of your
partnership in the gospel
from the first day until
now.” Philippians 1:3-4
I, your bishop, thank God
for the faithfulness of the
United Methodist
Neighborhood Services that
has served people of low-
income in the Philadelphia
area for many years. They
have moved to a new
location in the Germantown
area at the Janes Memorial
UMC and are continuing
this legacy of compassion
and justice through food and
clothing distribution. They
hope to resume some of
their other ministries in the
future such as the Saturday
Sidewalk Sunday School, a
hot lunch for people visiting
the building, and case
management services.
Much of the income for this
ministry comes from the
United Methodist Women,
the parent organization of

Do not forget to
show hospitality
to strangers, for
by so doing some
people have
shown hospitality
to angels without
knowing it.

Warm Welcome from Janes UMC...
The Move…
Fellowship with Rev. Foster, Pastor and United Methodist Women of Janes Memorial UMC is
the beginning of a great relationship. Also, the trustee committee have been a blessing and
encouragement to the agency in the transition into the facility.

Volunteers worked with the Board of
Directors in packing and clearing out the
building by getting rid of things that were
not needed over the summer months.
The Board of Directors finalized all of the
necessary business for the sale of 804 N.
Broad Street and made a decision for the
new location.
Everyone’s efforts made the move in
December of 2016 a success and now we
are operating and sharing resources in the
Germantown area of the city with State
Representative Stephen Kinsey and others.
