Good morning UMC friends!

Thank you SO much for making yesterday's in-person text banking event at Glenn UMC such a success! We had over 36 people texting across the state including around 15 people in person (representing Central UMC, Embry Hills UMC, and Glenn UMC, among others), and sent over 90,000 texts to help get out the vote. 

Here is the story which aired on CBS Atlanta last Click Here to See the Report 

We couldn't have done this without each of you. Look at God and the power of faith in action! 

Many smiles and blessings!
