UPDATE:
We have approved many new micro grants during 2026. Grants ranged from Spring College Care packages to a Saturday Evening Fellowship Dinner on June 6th to Spring Gaga Ball to helping fund the Women’s Retreat and the Joyful Celebration. We only have a little bit left in the budget (less than $1000) to cover anything else that would be under the Choose Joyumbrella or Senior Care umbrella. We hope everyone has benefited from the Micro Grants around Joy!

If you or your organization has an idea for “Choosing Joy” at church, please consider letting the Micro Grants’ initiative help offset or cover your costs (up to $1,000). The grants over the past few years have been started by members, like yourself, to allow joy to flow into our community and within our church. So far for 2026, Council has approved 3 grants. These have ranged from supporting a 6th Grade Confirmation project to Joy Youth Group outings to Finding Your Soul Song event for Servants’ Day. Micro Grants are also available for Senior Care to help with yardwork, house repairs, or cleaning to name a few options. Please click on the link JOY or SENIOR CARE to access the Micro Grants form or find hard copies via “Sign Up Central”.
