Applications Due June 15
The Board of Wider Mission announces its second round of grant-making with the Seeds of Grace Mission Fund. This fund was created as part of our merger with Grace Church to support partner organizations that are actively working to make the world a more just, loving, welcoming, and sustainable place. Please spread the word to organizations that you believe are living out our values. You can download an application on the home page of our website.
In 2018 Seeds of Grace awarded grants totaling $39,900.00. Grants went to a variety of organizations with strong peace, justice, and outreach missions including the African Community Education Program which matches immigrant youth with mentors in Worcester; Greater Framingham Community Church in Framingham for their MLK Empowering Youth Conference and Vacation Bible School; Just Peace Players for printing plays and traveling to special events; Metrowest Free Medical Program which provides free medical care in our community; Metrowest Workers Center (Casa), which empowers and supports local immigrants; and Open Spirit, our own multi-faith outreach program. Each project has direct connections with members of Edwards Church and offers opportunities for all church members to participate in their ministries.
Contact our board to learn more, and remember to invite organizations you know and love to apply!
