The first Evangelistic Mission Initiative Grant of $1000 is awarded to Convocation 1 on the Eastern Shore. They will use their grant to produce "Episcopal Churches of the Eastern Shore" brochures that will highlight each congregation's location on a map, with service times and contact information. The brochures will be placed in the Visitors' Centers on the Eastern Shore. Additionally, they will develop a join website highlighting all the churches, events, directions and links. This is especially helpful for those congregations without a website of their own. May God bless their efforts to reach out to summer visitors and new residents.
Grants of up to $1000 per Convocation are available for Evangelistic Mission Initiatives. Be creative! How can you reach out to new people and raise the visibility of the Episcopal Church in your area? How could you better equip the congregations in your Convocation to be more inviting and welcoming?
