NASHVILLE, Tenn. (UMNS) – What if you went shopping for hope instead of giving in to hype this Christmas? How much difference could you make in the world? The United Methodist Church is encouraging people to think “outside the gift box” to make Christmas more about substance and less about stuff as it launches its Advent advertising campaign airing on CNN Headline News Nov. 24-Dec. 27. The Rethink Church commercial features a homeless woman with a shopping cart. Christmas music is playing in the background. The message rolls across the screen: “This Christmas, remember those who are shopping for hope, acceptance and love.” The commercial directs viewers to www.10thousanddoors.org for more information.
