The 2025 Advocacy Day at the Michigan State Capitol was held on Wednesday, March 12, 2025. Over 200 United Methodists and friends from across Michigan spent the day advocating with their state legislators.
Activities included meetings with legislators, letter writing, poster making for the press conference, prayer in the Capitol rotunda, and prayer and worship in the sanctuary at Central UMC, across the street from the Capitol.
