Webinars/Resources from United Methodist Men

The United Methodist Men held a series of webinars in the summer of 2020 and are continuing in 2021. Please use the links below to view our Advocacies and Ministries:

  • Inclusion (with Bishop Lewis) – October 12, 2021 Click here to watch (Passcode: ^W6YW=Es)
    Bishop Lewis shared the need for more ethnic involvement within UMM, larger cluster UMM fellowships, and a potential relationship between UMM and the Pan-Methodist movement.
  • Mission Opportunities – September 7, 2021 Click here to watch (Passcode: Asmb6&3$)
    The Serving Ministries office of the Virginia Conference focuses primarily on mission and justice opportunities but also oversees All God’s Children Camp and the Camp Rainbow Connection, ministries that the VA Conference UMM supports. The Rev. RJ Jun, director, gives an overview and answers questions.
  • Dismantling Racism – March 16, 2021 – Click here to watch (Passcode: B7g17t!4)
    On January 6 after the violent event at the US Capitol, the Council of Bishops endorsed a letter from Bishop LaTrelle Easterling of the Baltimore-Washington Conference condemning “…all the forces that led to the unprecedented insurrection today — forces of hate, of white supremacy, of distorted self-interest, and abuse of power.” As shared at a recent Southeastern Jurisdiction training session for over 400 elected delegates on issues affecting the UMC, it was individual United Methodist Men, more than anyone else, who complained about this letter from the Council of Bishops. That’s why the Virginia Conference UMM sponsored this forum.
  • Personal Prayer – February 16, 2021 – Click here to watch (Passcode: wKeU*Ff6)
    Jesus gave us the Lord’s Prayer as a model for prayer. Paul writes in 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 to “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” There are prayers of adoration, prayers of intercession, breath prayers, lectionary prayers, and corporate prayers. Much has been shared regarding different types and ways to pray. Is prayer a part of your daily life? Is prayer a part of your devotional time with God? Please plan to join us as Rev. Wayne Snead, District Superintendent of the Elizabeth River District, leads a discussion on personal prayer.
  • Intentional Discipleship – January 12, 2021 Click here to watch. (Passcode: +R45Ltr6)
    One of the most important things we can do in the process of “making disciples of Jesus Christ” is to engage men of all ages and backgrounds in ministry. The most effective tools we have available are the men who are currently involved in our various church ministries. How can we more effectively utilize these men to reach younger men? Learn about The Wesley Challenge from David Bean, No Man Left Behind from Todd Hoar, and Wesleyan Building Brothers (WBB) from Johnnie Draughon.
