The EcoFaith Leadership Team is excited to award 2023 micro-grants to Immanuel Lutheran Church in Princeton and Voyageurs Lutheran Ministry.  

• Lil Sprouts Caring for Creation (VBS and much more) - Immanuel, Princeton - educate children about sustainable gardening from soil to harvest. Our garden program promotes a ministry learning environment, educating children by growing creation from soil (soul), to seed (faith curriculum) to self (strength, support, and nutrition). 

• Exploring Your Environment at VLM - programming and hands-on environmental education with campers during the summer and winter months, self-guided exploration and education for retreat groups, guests and community members, and tending to the natural spaces at our sites.

Micro-grant projects stimulate new ventures in the care of creation that can become models for the rest of the synod. We will share their highlights on Facebook and in the Fall Green Blades Rising.

Some funding is still available for 2023 micro-grants. If you would like to apply, please contact ecofaith@nemnsynod.org.
