Give to the 2026 Annual Conference Offering
Each year, Virginia United Methodists join together to support ministries that stretch beyond any single congregation. This year's Annual Conference Offering is shared between two powerful initiatives:
The MJ Kim Fund honors the legacy of the Rev. Myung Johng "MJ" Kim — the first Asian-American pastor ordained as elder in the Virginia Conference — by supporting immigrant clergy as they navigate the complex and costly immigration process in order to serve our churches and communities. In a time when that process has become more uncertain and burdensome than ever, this fund offers tangible help to pastors answering a call to ministry here.
The Virginia Conference Center for Belonging and Advocacy is the Conference's newest ministry area, led by the Rev. Lan Davis Wilson. It equips congregations across Virginia to build genuine cultures of inclusion — developing and deploying resources and strategies for belonging that reach beyond our walls.
You can give in two ways:

Faith Explorers will begin studying Richard Rohr's newest book , "The Tears of Things", a book about prophetic wisdom for an age of outrage.
All are invited to join together in room 308 after worship and Portico Cafe in studying some interesting prophets and what their messages might mean for us today.
Contact Bill Clarke janebillclarke@earthlink.net or 434 989 3685 for more info.
