ATLANTA The United Methodist Church launched a $2 million national advertising campaign this week to recruit people to its worship services.

The television spot will air more than 1,200 times on 18 cable networks through Sept. 18 in 15-, 30- and 60-second versions. Tagged “The Journey,” the ad is the first installment of the $25 million “Open hearts. Open minds. Open doors” campaign the denomination plans to run through 2008.

In addition to the national effort, the church group gave grants totaling more than $300,000 to individual congregations for local campaigns.
