Mission Center CLW Young Adult Scholarships

Greetings from the Young Adult Ministries Team,

We are excited to announce that six young adults will receive scholarships to attend the 2008 Congregational Life Workshop (CLW). These scholarship opportunites were created out of the generosity of the Community of Christ. A total of $4,000 is being awarded in scholarships to the following young adults for on-going education and ministerial development.

Verity Hitchings Mid-Atlantic Mission Center
Scott Blair Central Missouri Mission Center
Joanna Wardrop Mid-Atlantic Mission Center
Seth Bryant Florida Mission Center
Sean McGuire South Central States Mission Center
Debra Wetherbee Southern Great Lakes International (Canada/USA) Mission Center

In a related story the Greater Pacific Northwest Mission Center has decided to continue to offer scholarships to young adults in their mission center. We hope other mission centers will offer grants or matching grants in their areas. We look forward to seeing more young adults at CLW this year and in the future.
