Through grants and special projects we reaching out to people in our backyard and beyond with small, timely missions.

Grants: Parishioners who are personally involved in a new project can submit a request to the Commission for assistance in funding a project. This request should explain the purpose of the activity and how it relates to the mission of the Church/Commission. The person submitting the request ideally brings the request directly to a meeting of the Commission to highlight the activity.

At the conclusion of the activity, the recipient should send a note to the Commission highlighting the results of this activity. Ideally, this note would also include a photo so that the positive impact can be shared with the wider congregation.

Special events: Activities have included a run to support St. James School, collections of coats and school supplies, and hosting a camp day.

Alternative Christmas: Parishioners choose to donate to a specific ministry and are given a gift card to share this gift instead of giving a tangible gift.

Gifting Tree: Parishioners enjoy purchasing requested gifts for children and adults receiving services from Episcopal Community Services, Church Housing Corp., Home of the Sparrow, and other designated organizations.
