VMC will not provide lodging for this year's Assembly. However, several arrangements have been made to assist you in making your own lodging arrangements:

The EMU Guest House has been reserved for VMC on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights. Rates are $27.50/night for single occupancy and $42.50 for double occupancy. Call (540) 432-4280 to make reservations. The Guest House can also connect you with local homes who would be willing to host guests at these rates. You are responsible to make reservations with the Guest House by Friday, July 18.

Group discount rates have been negotiated at the Holiday Inn (540) 433-2523 (by June 23) and the Comfort Inn (540) 433-6066 (by July 1.) Make reservations before those dates and indicate that you are attending Virginia Mennonite Conference Assembly to receive this discount. You are responsible to make your own reservations.

box Friday Evening

Following the theme “Christ Jesus Our Hope,” Friday evening worship features mission workers sharing how hope is found in their places of ministry, and includes upbeat music with a missions message and a challenge for all to "go" and "send." Afterwards, enjoy a "Taste of Missions" under the tent, meet and greet mission workers, and hear more about what God is doing in the world.

box Saturday Evening

Hear about Hopeful Living as experienced by emerging churches in VMC. In this service of blessing and benediction for Assembly, we will celebrate communion and be sent out, living in hope.

box Registration Policy

A refund (less a $20 non-refundable registration fee) will be given for all cancellations received on or before July 4. No money can be refunded for cancellations after this date, even if meals are not used.

You will receive a registration confirmation letter via U.S. mail.

Registration is not required for those who attend only the evening worship sessions. Those who wish to attend only the Mennonite Men's or Mennonite Women's breakfast may pay just the price of the meal. All other participants must register and pay the registration fee, which helps us cover facilities costs and other expenses associated with Assembly.
