Loving God, Loving Neighbor

The United Methodist congregation on the campus of Emory University. We invite you to explore who we are and what we stand for.

Whether you’ve walked through the doors or you’re coming in through the window of your computer screen: we’re glad you’re here! Like you, those of us at Glenn are searching for meaning, strength, relationships, and hope. We believe we find what our hearts are looking for in God’s love for us, demonstrated in Jesus Christ. Our mission is to love God and our neighbors with all of our heart, mind, soul, and strength. We live this out through hospitality, study, worship, and hands-on service to others. We are a church that is
open to all of God’s children. You’ll be warmly welcomed wherever you are on your faith journey, whether that means you want to take it slowly or jump right in. No matter who you are or what you have done or left undone: you are welcome at Glenn!

Advent is one month away! Glenn invites you to celebrate alongside us this Advent Season. Check out a preview of what's to come.

From hands-on ways to experience the Christmas story like the Children's Nativity Pageant and Petting Zoo to reflective time to engage with the season like our In the Bleak Midwinter service, there's something for you here at Glenn this Advent.

In our community, Advent will be observed in Sunday School, small groups, and several special services, as well as in Young Adults and Wesley Fellowship at Emory University events.

Outside of Glenn, our partner ministries, like Wellroot Family Services, continue their good work into the holiday season. We encourage you to look outward as you move through Advent this year.

For more information about these events, and to stay in the loop on all the Advent happenings here at Glenn, head to www.glennumc.org/upcoming-events. All are welcome to be a part of celebrating this sacred season together!

This Sunday is All Saints' Sunday. Join us as we mourn those we have lost and comfort those who have suffered a loss this year.

Worship will take place in the Little Chapel at 8:30 am and in the Sanctuary at 11:00 am.

We welcome you back at 5:00 pm for a collaboration between Glenn's Chancel Choir and Kinnara, performing Johannes Brahms’ Ein deutsches Requiem. Written not for the dead, but to comfort the living, Brahms’ Requiem is one of the most deeply moving works in the choral repertoire.

Immediately following the concert, we will gather on the Sanctuary steps to light luminaries in memory of those we have lost.

“Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted.”

Meet some of the artists bringing Brahms's Ein Deutsches Requiem to life at Glenn this Sunday!

We're delighted to welcome soloists from our Chancel Choir, Carrie Anne Wilson, Luke MacMillan, and John Arnold, along with pianists Ezechiel Daos and Robert Cushing, for this special All Saints' Day performance with the Glenn Chancel Choir and KINNARA.

Brahms's deeply moving Requiem offers a powerful meditation on grief, remembrance, and consolation - and we're grateful to share it with these wonderful musicians.

Sunday, November 1 | 5:00 p.m.
Glenn Memorial United Methodist Church

Free and open to all. A free-will offering will be received.

Glenn invites you to consider your neighbors during this All Saints' Sunday Special Offering for the North GA Housing and Homeless Council on Sunday, November 1.

A shelter of hope for those in need. The North Georgia Housing and Homeless Council partners with churches and ministries across our Conference to address homelessness and poverty in our local communities. Your support makes this work possible. All gifts are used to provide grants to organizations serving people across Georgia who are homeless or living with very low incomes. Through your generosity, ministries are able to offer safe shelter, stable housing, and critical support services to our neighbors in need. Glenn Church is the proud recipient of several grants in the past to support our building over 30 Habitat for Humanity Houses! Give online at https://secure.myvanco.com/L-ZJ0K/campaign/C-16HK4 or mark your offering envelope ‘Housing Offering.’
