Target local stores offer grants between $1,000 and $3,000 to charitable organizations in the community focused on arts, early childhood reading, and family violence prevention. (Many branches of the government also offer grants up for bid to non-profit organizations who seek to filfill defined objectives.) What is your church doing to form organizations to compete for these grants?
Some might contend that church shouldn't having any involvement with music or the arts, helping children, widows, or families in distress. The Bible, however, indicates that these are core to the mission of advancing godliness and the gospel in the community.

Perhaps God's reply to the prayer of my blog, I encountered old friends unseen in years at Souper Salad for sunday lunch, David & Jana, Pat & Letty. Pat is a man the Lord put me in relationship with 15 years ago, who is affiliated with the battered women's shelter in our city, and outreach to poor children. He didn't think taking grant money would be wise, because it would subject them to some measure of governance by a secular corporation.
