Writers can choose between sending letters by mail or messaging their pen pal through an electronic messaging app. During the Zoom sessions, DRSP will go over some basics of how this project works, introduce members of the team who are available for support to letter-writers, and talk about how to get started with writing. These sessions are for informational purposes only and potential writers will decide after the session whether they want to move forward with this commitment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Please join DRSP to explore this opportunity to follow the call to minister to those in prison:<\/strong><\/p>\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 class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Monday, Aug.11, 7-8 p.m. (Eastern time)<br><a href=\"https:\/\/us06web.zoom.us\/j\/84744343309\">https:\/\/us06web.zoom.us\/j\/84744343309<\/a><br>Meeting ID: 847 4434 3309<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thursday, Aug. 14, 2-3 p.m. (Eastern time)<br><a href=\"https:\/\/us06web.zoom.us\/j\/84672833871\">https:\/\/us06web.zoom.us\/j\/84672833871<\/a><br>Meeting ID: 846 7283 3871<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Saturday, Aug. 16, 2-3 p.m. (Eastern time)<br><a href=\"https:\/\/us06web.zoom.us\/j\/81939175878\">https:\/\/us06web.zoom.us\/j\/81939175878<\/a><br>Meeting ID: 819 3917 5878<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Saturday, Sept. 27, 2-3 p.m. (Eastern time)<br><a href=\"https:\/\/us06web.zoom.us\/j\/89334451924\">https:\/\/us06web.zoom.us\/j\/89334451924<\/a><br>Meeting ID: 893 3445 1924<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Monday, Sept. 29, 2-3 p.m. (Eastern time)<br><a href=\"https:\/\/us06web.zoom.us\/j\/86527752354\">https:\/\/us06web.zoom.us\/j\/86527752354<\/a><br>Meeting ID: 865 2775 2354<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Monday, Sept. 29, 7-8 p.m. (Eastern time)<br><a href=\"https:\/\/us06web.zoom.us\/j\/87312957325\">https:\/\/us06web.zoom.us\/j\/87312957325<\/a><br>Meeting ID: 873 1295 7325<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Contact <a href=\"mailto:drsp@brethren.org\">drsp@brethren.org<\/a> with any questions.
