When COVID-19 hit, many churches and leaders found themselves stuck in a chaos cycle. Our systems, rhythms, and communication got infinitely more complicated, and what worked before isn’t necessarily working anymore.

It’s time to rethink communication and leverage the greatest opportunities we’ve ever had to communicate in the church.

Join Phil Bowdle, a leading national voice in the area of church communications and author of “Rethink Communication: A Playbook to Clarify and Communicate Everything in Your Church”, on Saturday, March 5 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. for this practical conversation on one of the most important issues facing the church today. You’ll walk away with a playbook of practical ideas, strategies, and resources that will spark engagement and more effective communication in your church.

This is a free, virtual event sponsored by the Conference Board of Communications. Learn more and register at: https://vaumc.org/rethink-communication/.

Questions may be sent to MadelineWhite@vaumc.org.

Are Virginia Conference boards and agencies in need of your gifts and graces?

Are you an encourager? A trailblazer? A mentor? A communicator?

Your gifts and graces through boards such as Missional Ministries and the Virginia United Methodist Pensions, Inc. (VUMPI) will help United Methodists across the Virginia Conference.

In this new year of 2022, pray on how God may be encouraging you to serve then download the nominations profile form at the link above, fill it out, and send it to your District Office to be considered by the Conference Nominations team for election to a board or agency.
