Blueprint Ministry Grants

Blueprint Ministry Grants 2024 Applications close November 1, 2024.

Are you looking to grow a current ministry or start a new initiative for ministry to children, youth, young adults, or families? Blueprint Ministries offers a ministry funding grant to any LCANZ congregation in the SA-NT District that is seeking to expand its outreach and ministry opportunities. The grant money has been made available through funds raised at the 2024 Blueprint Ministries Dinner.

We look forward to new recipients creatively considering how they can utilise funding for ministry purposes. Key criteria in assessing applications will be how the ministry can improve outreach and mission to people in their community. It can also help congregations access resources and training that may be limited due to cost.

Applicants can apply for up to $1000. There are limited funds available, so funding allocations will be determined by the number of applicants and the grant may not be the total amount requested. To apply and for more information on the grant, go to https://www.blueprintministries.org.au/resources/grants/

Developing Resilience Workshop

Desire to thrive rather than just 'get by?' Join Olivia Kearney for Developing Resilience - Shifting from Survive to Thrive -

A Tabor ASCEND Workshop across two evenings

TUESDAY 5th NOVEMBER | 5:30pm - 8:30pm and TUESDAY 12th NOVEMBER | 5:30pm - 8:30pm

181 GOODWOOD ROAD, MILLSWOOD.

ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP

In an increasingly uncertain, volatile and fast paced world, the need for well-developed resilience is more important than ever before. Our capacity to adapt or recover quickly from challenge or difficulty impacts our ability to cope with stress effectively; safeguard our mental health; sustain professional longevity; maintain hope in hardship; and increase our overall sense of satisfaction in life.

Delivered over the course of two evenings, lecturer and counsellor Olivia Kearney will take you through the theory of resilience and the ways you can develop greater resilience through the lens of a self-care framework that encompasses all aspects of the biopsychosocial self:

Part A) Tuesday 5th November 2024, 5:30pm to 8:30pm

PART B) Tuesday, 12th November 2024, 5:30pm to 8:30pm
