Rev. Todd Dowdy
YOU are Welcome here
A personal invite
Have you or someone you know experienced disillusionment with religion due to negative encounters with people within it? Perhaps you have felt overwhelmed by the constant pursuit of earning God's approval. It is important to recognize that this was never the intended path for our lives.
Magnolia UMC's message is clear -
You are welcome here.
No matter where you have been.
No matter what you have done
or left undone.
You are welcome in love and grace.
May you find rest and renewal.
May you find hope, love and peace.
This is what god offers to us all.
