HYMNS FOR DEVOTIONAL MEDITATION

Central UMC has plans to offer a new study beginning in early 2023 using the hymns for devotional meditation. The series intends to share the benefits and blessings that come from meditation on hymn texts to develop your spiritual growth, and to supplement your spiritual gifts.

You are asked to contemplate how, where, and when the hymns have enriched your life and your spiritual walk. We want to include the personal testimonies of Central members and friend in the development and creation of this customized series, and we urge you to send your stories in support of this effort. Send stories in your own words to our church receptionist, Deloris Trawick at deloris.trawick@centralumcatl.org. Please send your stories by December 31, 2022.
