Grant Report for
Mission Programs - Congratulations to
Recipients of the 2011 Committee on Mission and Outreach
The Committee on Mission and Outreach has awarded these
grants to the following congregations to support both
new and ongoing mission and outreach projects.
Elizabethtown and Central
Church, Clarkton, will share a $1000 grant
to support the ongoing ministry of the Bladen Parish
Nurse.
First Church of Morehead
City was awarded a $1000 grant to support
the Family Promise of Carteret project, which
addresses homelessness of women, single
women/parents with children, and families who are
facing eviction or are homeless. First Presbyterian
Church will be one of thirteen host church sites.
Westminster Church
in Fayetteville was awarded a $500 grant to
support the Westminster Carpentry Ministry. This
grant will allow them to purchase tools and
equipment needed to perform the tasks involved in
making homes safer and more accessible (e.g., access
ramps).
St. Pauls Church
was awarded a $1000 grant to support the new
C.A.L.L.S. (Creating a Loving Learning Space)
project. This project will help non-native young
people overcome language barriers and strengthen
their academic skills. The project will also help
English-speaking church members share their talents,
acquire cultural awareness of the Latino/Hispanic
culture, and improve their Spanish-speaking skills.
The grant will also help fund participation in the
Spanish-speaking Commissioned Lay Pastor programs at
Louisville Presbyterian Seminary.
Grant monies have already been distributed to these
congregations. Recipients will be
recognized at the Saturday, October 15, 2011
presbytery meeting. Congratulations to these congregations for
their mission initiatives!
