Common Life Ministry Awards Ministry Support Grants

The Common Life Ministry Team prayed and awarded eleven grants to the following churches.  Together we thank God above for the hands of Christ who serve others outside their church doors, and we pray these humble sums go forward across Palo Duro.  The grant budget comes planned in the PDP budget that was overwhelmingly approved for 2024; a similar amount was approved for 2025.  And, of course, the budget is dependent on your giving to Palo Duro Presbytery above and beyond giving to the denomination and per capita.

Moderator SarahLee Morris shares our common charge, “May Christ’s peace enfold each of you as we move toward his nativity yet again.  A happy and safe holiday season be yours, and we’ll continue our good work for Christ’s body in 2025.”
