Prayer Shawl Ministry
Jackson Grove has a wonderful Prayer Shawl Ministry! We have hand-made shawls that are ready to receive prayers and be presented to a recipient. These shawls are prayerfully knitted or crocheted and offer comfort to those that accept them. A prayer is offered during worship, and the shawl is given to the recipient if present, or a family member or friend can deliver it.
Little Free Library
We are exited to host a Little Free Library in our parking lot! Greenville First Steps generously donated the library & the starter books, and Jackson Grove members donate additional books to keep our library well-stocked. This “take a book, leave a book” free book exchange is a great enhancement for our area. Visit LittleFreeLibrary.org for more information (and look for us on their world map!)

UMCOR – United Methodist Committee on Relief
UMCOR comes alongside those who suffer from natural or human-caused disasters – be it famine, hurricane, war, flood, fire or other events—to alleviate suffering and to be a source of help and hope for those left most vulnerable. UMCOR provides relief, response and long-term recovery grants when these events overwhelm a community’s ability to recover on their own. UMCOR also provides technical support and training for partners to address emerging and ongoing issues related to disaster relief, recovery, and long-term health and development.
