Each year you have the opportunity to make a pledge to Grace. You may make a pledge to give financially to the general budget, which supports the majority of our ministry and mission, and you may give to the mission budget, which supports an array of missions.
You regularly receive updates on the general budget. At the halfway point in the year the Mission Distribution Team wants to share with you where we stand with the mission budget.
There are some missions we support every year, and then every year we change our focus for some of our giving. This year we focus on children and healthcare. We distributed some money for mission related to children earlier in the year and continue to do so. We are currently learning about healthcare opportunities.
Many of you register your Dillons Cards with Grace. Dillons donates a portion of your spending to Grace, and we give that money away. We split that giving between Interfaith Ministries and The Brotherhood Community Ministry.
Betsy Ross and Brian Ullmann co-chair this team, and Catherine Neelly Burton staffs it.
