We will encourage any congregation that needs help reach out to the Lending a Helping Hand Committee. A team will be made available to meet with the churches and talk with them, discuss their needs, and explore options for assistance. If specific needs can be identified, we will attempt to help meet those needs. 2.

Applications for financial support will be accepted until September 30, 2019. The Committee will review all applications and decide how the money will be allocated and will award in a timely manner. |
