In January 2025, the Foundation made the largest grant in its 47-year history — to the church!
A grant of $56,500 was presented to the church to replace all the furniture lost due to the hurricanes in the offices and the Music Room.
Eighth-Day Discipleship: A New Vision for Faith, Work & Economics
Richard H. Bliese in his book, and in this class, “draws on the historic architecture of eight-sided churches to call attention to an important but often overlooked emphasis on the eighth day of creation. Early Christians were focused on God’s new creation that began in Christ’s resurrection on Sunday, the first day of the week. But these Christians understood resurrection as the continuation of God’s creative and redemptive activity. So the first day of the week became the eighth day of creation, and therefore the day of resurrection work and time to join with Christ in transforming the world. Christian disciples do this work by living out their baptismal vocations, especially in their daily work and through their ethical economic choices.”
