                    Our Vital Worship Grants Program, made possible through the generous support of Lilly Endowment Inc., fosters well-grounded vital worship in congregations and worshiping communities throughout North America. Although grants do not fund the creation of books, in some cases, grant projects provide the groundwork for eventual publications. We note with gratitude the following publications.
