FIRST UNITED METHODIST CHURCH LENDS A HAND
Migrants In Need
With the sudden and great influx of over 40,000 migrants to our city, First United Methodist Church of Jamaica is doing its part to ease the burden of many who came here with only the clothes on their backs. Church members, along with family and friends, donated several boxes of warm clothing, shoes and children's clothes to help migrants adjust to resettling here during these winter months.
Luke 3:10-11: “‘What should we do then?’ the crowd asked. John answered, ‘Anyone who has two shirts should share with the one who has none, and anyone who has food should do the same.’”
