Montpelier church gets grant to enhance services
MONTPELIER, Ohio — First Presbyterian Church of Montpelier has received a $13,882 grant to enhance its worship services.
The grant was one of 58 totalling $700,000 awarded nationwide by the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship at Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Mich.
“The proposals we receive from all over North America offer us an expansive education,” said CICW director John Witvliet.
“They show us how prayerful, resourceful leaders in a remarkable variety of contexts are thinking about the needs of the church and opportunities for ministry.”
Deanna Kohlhofer, family life coordinator at First Presbyterian, said the Montpelier church will use the grant to study worship as a congregation, and then in small-group settings.
“The beauty of this project is that the entire congregation will be involved, working to discover what God wants to teach us together,” Ms. Kohlhofer said. “We really desire for worship to be personal, practical, relevant, and applicable.”
