ECS Prayer

O God, the source of all love and compassion, we praise you for the opportunities we have been given to minister in your name. Pour your blessing on all who work on our behalf through the ministries of Episcopal Community Services. Use them to bring comfort, assistance, and renewed experience of the Father's love to all whom they seek to serve. Open our Hearts to respond to the needs of those around us. To you we offer our gifts and prayers, through Him who came among us as God's love incarnate, Jesus Christ, Our Lord. Amen.

ECS Special Grants

Episcopal Community Services designates 10% of its annual pledge income for grants to support parish and/or deanery community outreach projects. The guiding principle for this initiative is Matthew 25:35-36. These one-time grants may be used to support both ongoing outreach projects and the start-up of new projects. There is no minimum size of a grant. Grants are awarded on a rolling basis throughout the year.
