Glenn Memorial United Methodist Church in Atlanta, Georgia encouraged the public to join the annual celebration binding its ties with Emory University.

In a Facebook post on Saturday, Sept. 17, the church said the celebration was on Sunday, Sept. 18.

The church said they may wear their Blue & Gold with pride. The Emory-Glenn Sunday was held on Sept. 18, according to the church.

According to the church, the schedule was 11 a.m. Worship, Sanctuary, Rev. Mark Westmoreland preaching, 12 p.m. Lunch on the Lawn, and 5 p.m. The Gathering Worship, Ward Fellowship Hall, Jordan Grassi Preaching.

Glenn Memorial United Methodist Church said the Sunday School and choirs for all ages have a regular routine.

During worship services, there is childcare provided in the nursery (Room 200), toddler room (Room 206), and pre-k/kindergarten room (304), according to the church.

Expanding Christian Community

According to the church's website, there is a well-established and growing Christian community named Glenn on the Emory University campus in Atlanta's renowned Druid Hills neighborhood.

There are members of various ages in the church, ranging in age from two to 102.

It claimed that via worship, service, instruction, and hospitality, its activities promoted a sense of community and belonging for everyone.

The church stated that John Wesley, an Anglican minister working for the Church of England in the 1700s, is where its beginnings as a United Methodist congregation may be found.

According to the church, "Methodist" societies were formed because their members followed a daily schedule of religious observance and altruistic activity.

The societies later relocated to Ireland and then to America, where, according to the church, they were fully acknowledged as a distinct denomination in 1784.

There are around 11 million United Methodists worldwide as of right now, it continued.

According to the church, social duty and faith have long been entwined for United Methodists.

The church cited its collaborations with the Office of Spirituality & Religious Life at Emory University as examples of how it upholds an ecumenical tradition and works with various Christian faiths and religions.

Everyone is Welcome

The church declared that it believes everyone is created with essential value and dignity, just as Jesus loved those around him.

According to the church, everyone is welcome to participate in the community's overall life and ministry regardless of race, culture, ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, family or socioeconomic status, education, politics, physical or mental ability, or religious background.

The church aims to establish God's reign and realm in the world by proclaiming the good news of God's grace and emulating Jesus' teaching to love one's neighbor as oneself.

According to the church, it is accomplished by making disciples of Jesus Christ for the purpose of changing the world.

The world's completeness of God's kingdom and realm is the vision Scripture offers to everyone, it continued.

According to the church, the United Methodist Church acknowledges Jesus Christ to be the Son of God, the Savior of the world, and the Lord of all.

It said that as it cultivates disciples, it respects individuals of all religions and defends the right of everyone to practice their faith in accordance with their own convictions.
