Make plans now to ‘Change the World’

 
The weekend of May 14-15, members of United Methodist churches around the world—and across North Georgia—will step out into their communities to focus on hunger relief, health concerns or initiatives to relieve the burdens of those living in poverty. Last year more than 100,000 people from more than 1,000 churches participated.  
Once your church decides on an outreach project, register at www.rethinkchurch.org/changetheworld. Then, take advantage of the resources offered through United Methodist Communications to promote your event or expand your plans.
Plus, Cokesbury is carrying postcards, bulletins, small group study material and more.
