If you have a ministry that supports women or the work of women in the community, please click HERE to download the application.
The Grant Application needs to be sent to Deacon Linda Paul by April 18th! (deaconlbpaul@gmail.com.) The grants will be announced and given at the Annual Bishop's Day and Conference. This year the conference will be at All Souls Church in Oklahoma, on April 29th.
