2027 Vitality Grants Awarded
Earlier this month, the Vitality Grants Committee awarded 2027 Vitality Grants totaling $275,000 to 16 congregations across the diocese. The grants, which are made annually, support congregational health and vitality. Starting with this grant cycle, Vitality Grants are funded through the diocesan Administration and Program budget.
