Love Unites Campaign
At our Missouri Annual Conference session in June, Bishop Farr [link removed] shared about his vision for the Love Unites campaign and the potential it has for a United Methodist witness against hate in Missouri. Starting in August, Love Unites billboards will be on display at the Lake of the Ozarks, Jefferson City, Joplin, O’Fallon, and Sikeston.
The [link removed] Love Unites campaign kit includes print-ready files for download, so you can produce yard signs, banners and T-shirts if your church would like to promote a message of love over hate.
If churches or individuals wish to donate money: make donations out to Missouri Annual Conference (memo line: Love Unites campaign), 3601 Amron Ct., Columbia, MO 65201. Once there is enough money donated, they will work with advertising companies to erect a Love Unites billboard in the Southeast District.
If a church wants to purchase a billboard on their own: ask the vendor for the production specs to send to their design company for re-sizing. These specs should be sent to Kim Jenne ([email protected]) with the deadline for production to meet their media window. The Annual Conference will re-size the art to the appropriate size for the board and send it to the outdoor company for final production.
