The North Georgia Conference of the United Methodist Church in Atlanta has launched an Advent-Neighbors national advertising campaign to invite the public to connect with the church this holiday season.
In a Facebook post on Friday, Dec. 3, the North Georgia Conference of the United Methodist Church announced that it launched an Advent-Neighbors national advertising campaign to invite communities to connect with hope and joy in the United Methodist Church this Advent season.
The church's United Methodist Communications, the denomination's global communications agency, has launched an Advent-Neighbors national advertising campaign to help those seeking an escape from the holiday blues and a connection to the genuine source of joy and love.
Social media paid search, and display advertisements will all be used in the campaign. People will be led to one of two limited-time landing sites at UMC.org/Joy or UMC.org/JoyEnFamilia to begin their journey with the United Methodist Church.
