Annually, the Mission Fund Committee solicits suggestions from members of the congregation for organizations or programs to be considered for financial support. The Mission Fund Committee then evaluates the suggestions and makes specific recommendations to Congregation Council for distribution of the Mission Fund monies. Two projects received Mission Fund support in 2022:
Lutheran Disaster Response: US Tornadoes $5,300.00
Refuge Resettlement Partnership of Gettysburg $4,000.00
The committee is now ready to receive suggestions from members of the congregation for the 2023 distributions from the Mission Fund. If you have an organization or program that you wish to recommend for consideration for possible support, please send the following information to Claire Anderson by e-mail (battleburg@gmail.com) or in writing through the church office by Noon on Friday, March 3rd:
- Your name and your contact information (telephone and/or e-mail address).
- The name and contact information of the organization or program that you are recommending (name of organization or program, name of a person, telephone, address, website, etc.).
- The mission of the organization or program and a rationale for support from St. James, including the extent of need for that project.
As the committee develops recommendations for distribution of the Mission Fund monies, it keeps in mind the overall mission of St. James: “We respond to God’s abundant grace by being hearers, proclaimers , and doers of the Word.”
