As we anticipate a new school year, KNOW that if your church family is interested in reaching out to support your local public schools and/or to address literacy needs in your community… there just might be seed funding available from the NC Conference!!! The following appeared in a recent NCC communication:
Mission Seed Funds — NC CONFERENCE OF THE UMC
Mission Seed Funds are designed to facilitate and encourage United Methodist congregations of the NC Conference to engage in new ministry with people in their local communities who would not usually participate in the life of the church. Priority is given to new ministry initiatives that meet at least one of the five areas of emphasis of the NCCUMC: Healthy Congregations, Congregations for Children (C4C), Unity, Anti-racism, and Effective Leaders.
Applications Due October 2023. Learn more and apply now→
Throughout the year, KNOW that I am delighted to help interpret, resource and assist local congregations and C4C teams as together we support our local public schools. I can be reached at
elilliston@nccumc.org or landline 919-567-9427.
Sharing the journey,
Elaine A. Lilliston
Fairway District C4C Coordinator
