We are grateful to announce that the Church of the Brethren is a grant recipient of the Healing Illinois grant of $30,000 towards racial justice initiatives. The Gathering Chicago in the Illinois and Wisconsin District also is among the recipients. Healing Illinois grants are administered by the Chicago Community Trust.
The Church of the Brethren Discipleship Ministries is contributing funds so that congregations and communities across the denomination can participate in an upcoming mini-grant program for Racial Justice and Healing Racism.
Applications will be available Jan. 15, due between Feb. 1 and Feb. 25. Stay tuned for information sessions and updates as well as webinars and events in January through March of 2021, which is our grant period. Congregations and communities from across the Church of the Brethren are welcome to participate.
We give God thanks for all of the churches, members, and friends who have been on the journey to racial justice this year. Thank you! All are in our thoughts and prayers as always and in this holiday season.
