The Power of One

In 2009, the St. John Lutheran Church Trust Fund will celebrate its 25th anniversary. To celebrate the occasion, the Trust Fund Committee will make 25 grants of $100 each. The grants will be available to individuals and small groups within the congregation to complete a service project.

Believing that individuals have the power to make a difference, and in the spirit of "every gift matters," the grants will be used to benefit the congregation or the community. Grant requests should exhibit the spirit of putting gifts into action in Christ's name for the sake of others.
