Sprinkles of Grace Mini Grant Application Materials
The “Sprinkles of Grace” grant was created to help ELCA churches in South Dakota 
in their ministry to families with children ages birth through eight years old. What ideas and dreams does your church have to create age-appropriate faith-building opportunities for these families? Where do you feel or see the Holy Spirit leading you and your church with this age group? You are encouraged to gather a small group (3-5 people), prayerfully dream up an action plan for an opportunity your church would like to offer in 2025 and put the plan in writing to be considered for the “Sprinkles of Grace” grant funding. No church or idea is too big or too small to be considered.
