  • A desire for fellowship with others
  • The inexplicable joy of riding bicycles
Holy Rollers at Conference 2015
Every year, the Bishop of the Virginia Annual Conference makes an appeal for United Methodists in Virginia to give money to underwrite vital ministries around the world. The Holy Rollers, a group of laypeople and clergy, pedal bicycles for two-and-a-half days to encourage folks to contribute money for the offering.


The purpose of the journey is THREE-FOLD:
Fund Raising—To help raise funds for, and awareness of, the Virginia Annual Conference Special Offering.Fellowship Building—To encourage fellowship and to build collegiality among clergy and laity through cycling.Fitness Encouragement—To offer opportunities for clergy and laity to increase their fitness and well-being.
