Each issue features a particular theme that surveys and research have indicated are important areas of concern for those who do not attend church. The back page of the four-page newsletter allows the local church to tell its own specific story, including where and how to become involved in the church s ministry. The Virginia Conference Media Center, located in the United Methodist Building in Richmond, maintains the conference s audiovisual resources. There are 16mm films, filmstrips, records, videotapes, slides, cassette study programs, simulation games, and media kits available for rental or loan. United Methodist churches may rent these resources individually, or they may join the library for a year, at a set fee, and enjoy unlimited, free use of the resources.
Every church is provided a catalog of the conference s audiovisual resources.
Additional copies may be purchased from the Media Center. Resources may be reserved over the phone, by mail, or in person. The earlier the reservation is made, the more likely the resource will be available for the specified date.
