Services, Bible Studies, Kids Storytimes, Hymn Sings, etc. available online for everyone
|
Many of our district churches are streaming more than services - there are Bible Studies, Kid's Sunday School Lessons, Evening Musical Concerts, etc. -
and they are open to anyone from any church who would like to join in. The easiest way to stay informed is to follow multiples churches on Facebook. You can also follow the District's Facebook Page at The Rappahannock River District of the United Methodist Church - we try to post as many as we can.
For a list of Churches who are streaming services, please click
here.
If your church is offering services but isn't listed, your pastor simply needs to send the link to
Madeline White
at the conference office and she'll add it.
