Join us on Zoom at any of the below times. During the session we will go over some basics of how this project works, introduce members of the team who are here to support you, and talk about expectations of DRSP writers. We typically have a fairly small group and ask all attendees to introduce themselves briefly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, for those already writing to pen pals on death row through the DRSP, the DRSP team is holding open office hours on a monthly basis. All current writers are welcome to drop in virtually during office hours to ask questions or share reflections on their pen pal friendship. Office hours are held on the first Monday of each month, from 7-8 p.m. (Eastern time) at this Zoom link: <a href=\"https:\/\/us06web.zoom.us\/j\/87986712241\">https:\/\/us06web.zoom.us\/j\/87986712241<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Online informational sessions<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"197\" height=\"197\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/drsp-logo.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15151\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/drsp-logo.png 197w, https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/drsp-logo-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 197px) 100vw, 197px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Monday, Jan. 13, 7-8 p.m. (Eastern time)<br><a href=\"https:\/\/us06web.zoom.us\/j\/81533695700\">https:\/\/us06web.zoom.us\/j\/81533695700<\/a><br>Meeting ID: 815 3369 5700<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Saturday, Jan. 18, 2-3 p.m. (Eastern time)<br><a href=\"https:\/\/us06web.zoom.us\/j\/87650853133\">https:\/\/us06web.zoom.us\/j\/87650853133<\/a><br>Meeting ID: 876 5085 3133<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wednesday, Feb. 5, 7-8 p.m. (Eastern time)<br><a href=\"https:\/\/us06web.zoom.us\/j\/89310492264\">https:\/\/us06web.zoom.us\/j\/89310492264<\/a><br>Meeting ID: 893 1049 2264<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Saturday, Feb. 8, 2-3 p.m. (Eastern time)<br><a href=\"https:\/\/us06web.zoom.us\/j\/89049921360\">https:\/\/us06web.zoom.us\/j\/89049921360<\/a><br>Meeting ID: 890 4992 1360<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Monday, March 3, 8-9 p.m. (Eastern time)<br><a href=\"https:\/\/us06web.zoom.us\/j\/86784872372\">https:\/\/us06web.zoom.us\/j\/86784872372<\/a><br>Meeting ID: 867 8487 2372<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Monday, April 7, 6-7 p.m. (Eastern time)<br><a href=\"https:\/\/us06web.zoom.us\/j\/81420666438\">https:\/\/us06web.zoom.us\/j\/81420666438<\/a><br>Meeting ID: 814 2066 6438<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find out more about the DRSP at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brethren.org\/drsp\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"www.brethren.org\/drsp\">www.brethren.org\/drsp<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find more Church of the Brethren news:<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__list wp-block-latest-posts\"><li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/2026\/standing-committee-acts-on-eder-everence\/\">Standing Committee acts on relationship with Eder Financial and Everence at special Zoom meeting<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/2026\/edf-grants-to-nigeria-and-lebanon\/\">EDF grants continue Nigeria Crisis Response, support Lebanese affected by war<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/2026\/standing-committee-special-meeting\/\">Standing Committee to hold special Zoom meeting<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/2026\/resources-for-national-youth-sunday\/\">Resources now available for National Youth Sunday 2026<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/2026\/interfaith-letter-on-pentagon-budget\/\">Office of Peacebuilding and Policy signs interfaith letter opposing $1.5 trillion Pentagon budget<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Death Row Support Project (DRSP) will be holding informational sessions for people interested in learning more about writing to those on death row.
