Update: 2024 ELCA Disability Ministries Grants

Thank you to everyone who applied for a Disability Ministries grant this past spring. We had a great response, and our grant review team is currently hard at work reading the first 30 we received before our cutoff date.

For more information on the terms under which each application will be reviewed, please check out our blog.

Applicants, a decision on which proposals will be funded should be completed by Oct. 25. We know the wait is tough, but we want to give each proposal a proper and thorough review. Again, thank you all for your investment and time put into these proposals. And thank you for your commitment to being a more inclusive and accessible church!

Created to Be: Wholy You

Our blog post for this month is a sermon preached by the Rev. Mack Patrick at the opening worship of the tAble, a pre-event to the 2024 Youth Gathering. Thank you to Pastor Mack for your message, and to all of the awesome staff and participants who were part of the tAble this year!

FEATURED RESOURCE
