Each year, members of local churches are encouraged to participate in raising money for projects designated by the bishop. The pastor or lay representative of each church will take that money to annual conference where it will be collected during a special time of the session. This year’s offering goal is $250,000 — $100,000 designated for Brazil projects, $50,000 each designated for Mozambique, Russia, and the Virginia Projects of the Children’s Initiative.
Detailed informational fliers and bulletin inserts have been mailed to local churches and are posted in the dropdown menu to the left. More details are also found in the Virginia Advocate conference newsmagazine. For more information, contact the conference Mission office at 1-800-768-6040 or (804) 521-1100, ext. 144 or 143; or e-mail mission@vaumc.org.
