CTC Churches Invited to Apply for Second Round of Hunger Ministries Grants
Through the generous contributions from CTC churches to last year’s Thanksliving Offering, the CTC Task Force on Hunger will be able to fund additional ministries initiated by Central Texas Conference congregations that address hunger in our communities. If your congregation would like to initiate or build capacity for a ministry that fights hunger locally, please download the grant application and return it to the conference office. We look forward to learning about your developing programs and the blessings they will provide to your communities.
Churches that recieved an initial grant in April 2009 may apply for an additional grant of up to $250 by sending a letter of request stating the additional need to Jennifer Bellamy, Director of Humanitarian Services, 464 Bailey Avenue, Fort Worth 76107-2153.
2008 Discipline ¶1327.2a – The United Methodist Committee on Relief responsibilities are to provide immediate relief of acute human need and to respond to the suffering of persons in the world caused by natural, ecological, political turmoil and civil disaster.
