Did you know that our Diocese has funds set aside for your Continuing Education? Both laity and clergy are eligible for up to $1,000 a year. Consider a workshop, a retreat, a group study. (Funds do not cover regular degree programs or the College for Congregational Development) But there are MANY other opportunities for you to strengthen your spiritual life and benefit your local church, school, or diocesan organization! Contact Jess Pandolfino, jpandolfino@episcopalmaryland.org, for the Formstack application. Grants are offered on a rolling basis, so there is no deadline. Only one grant per person, per year, please!
