Jess Daum about an opportunity for your congregation to receive a small grant to help propel a ministry idea for connecting with new people and help the whole Church learn together how we can share the Gospel and grow in faith in effective ways! From elca.org/OpenDoors: “Beginning April 21, your congregation is invited to apply for an Open Doors grant. Open Doors is a new initiative to support ELCA congregations interested in meeting new people during this time of re-gathering in physical spaces. Together as the ELCA, we share a ministry goal of connecting with a million new people and activating our communities so that more people may know the way of Jesus. If you have a concrete, actionable idea for meeting new people during this critical time, you might be eligible for an Open Doors grant. If your congregation is selected for an Open Doors grant, you will receive a one-time, set payment, anticipated in the range of $1,500 - $2,500, to help implement your ministry idea.” We apologize for the short notice as this is a fast moving project launched by our Churchwide partners in the spirit of innovation. We want you to know about this opportunity so you don’t miss it! Recording of the info session and brainstorming discussion will be available on the Synod website following the zoom conversation. Jess is available for individual consultation if you would like help with your application.
