Virginia United Methodist Advocate

A major focus of the communications office is the Virginia United Methodist Advocate, the official conference newsmagazine published monthly throughout the year. It provides information, interpretation and inspiration to approximately 12,000 subscribers.

Individual subscriptions are presently $15 per year ($25 for 2 years; $36 for 3 years) when paid directly to the Advocate office. Individuals who subscribe during their local church’s annual Advocate campaign pay $15 per year.

Church members can save money and time by subscribing for 2 or 3 years during their church’s campaign — 2 years for $25 (SAVE $5) or 3 years for $36 (SAVE $9). (Super Savings off the Cover Price of $24/year!) A special rate of $12/year for each subscription is also available for bulk orders (two or more) going to one address.

To pay by check, mail to the Virginia United Methodist Advocate, P.O. Box 1719, Glen Allen, Virginia 23060. For more information about subscribing, contact Peggy Cribbs at 1-800-768-6040 or (804) 521-1100, ext. 110 or advocate@vaumc.org.

Subscription forms are available to download as either jpgs or pdfs

Subscription drives may be held at any time of the year; however, promotional materials — such as bulletin inserts and subscription envelopes — are provided in August so campaigns can be held in September and October and completed by Oct. 31.

News of your church may be submitted for publication. Ask, "Does what my church is submitting for publication focus on effective ideas of outreach and mission of benefit to other churches across the conference?" If the answer is "yes," then send a brief article, keeping in mind that space limitations and other considerations may prevent your material from being printed. Remember, the editor always reserves the right to edit all copy. High quality photos are requested with close up and candid shots preferred.
