In response to COVID-19 and the varying needs of congregations during this time, we have created a page on our website which we are updating on a regular basis. This page includes updates from congregations and organizations in the Blue Ridge District who have or need resources, invitations to online meetings via Zoom which cover topics related to frequently asked questions, as well as links to conference-wide announcements, event cancellations, resources for virtual ministry, etc. If you do not find information you are searching for, please let us know via email.
