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!
