The Ministerial Discretionary Fund is one of the tools I use as a Minister to help this congregation.

It is
I am the daughter of Judy and Larry, the granddaughter of Lillian, Lawrence, Edith Juanita and Roy. All of them are not on this plane of the living now. I absolutely love my Samhain altar–it has more pictures than an actual table can hold now, as well as the beloved pets that we have lost.
One year ago, I was excitedly preparing to head to Israel and Palestine. It was a dream of mine to understand the ground from where all three of the Abrahamic religions have deep roots.
