SUMMARY:Paul E. Trapp Endowment Grant
DESCRIPTION:Trapp Grant Applications are now available! If your congregation is in Northern Michigan\, you are invited to apply for a grant from the Paul E. Trapp estate. \nThe endowment was created from a bequest to support “people-orientated” ministry in the northern parts of the North/West Lower Michigan Synod. The Sunrise and Traverse conferences as well as the northern part (north of M-61) of the Bay Conference make up the service area for the Trapp Grant. \nEach year a committee reviews grant applications and uses fund distribution earnings to fulfill grant requests. Grant requests are typically funded for $1\,500 to $2\,000 depending on how many applications are received. \nThe Trapp Grant Committee approves various Northern Michigan ministry projects\, including but not limited to: \n\nVBS Camps\nFood/Paper Pantries\nCoats for Kids/Coat Closets\nCommunity Meals\nSupporting Families in Need\n\nGrant applications for the 2026 calendar year are due by DECEMBER 20th for committee review. Funds will be disbursed by the end of January 2026. Any questions or submissions may be directed to communication@mittensynod.org. \n  \nDownload the Trapp Grant application here! \nTrapp Endowment Grant PDF

SUMMARY:Charge
DESCRIPTION:The first wave of Generation Z exists today and many of the children in this generation simply don’t have a grasp on who Jesus is and why he is relevant in their everyday lives. Charge is an event that attempts to bridge this gap by providing a powerful faith community where students grades 6-12 can grow in faith\, engage in service\, and develop leadership skills; all while enjoying the amenities of Great Wolf Lodge. Participants at Charge are equipped and empowered to learn\, lead\, laugh\, and love as an expression of their faith in Jesus. It is our hope that participants depart energized to transform the world in the name of Christ!  Worship\, small groups\, congregational time\, skill shops\, recreation options\, and an outdoor campfire campstyle are all elements of this powerful gathering of community!
