March is Minnesota Foodshare Month

As of March 16, our total is 1338 dollars/lbs! Keep it coming!

March is Minnesota FoodShare month and Hamline Church is again collecting gifts of food and dollars for local food shelves. Contributions will be collected throughout the month. Tan envelopes for cash donations are in the pews. Our goal for 2017 is 2500 in pounds of food. One dollar = one pound of food. Every contribution is greatly appreciated! Our contributions support Keystone and Interfaith Action’s Department of Indian Work food shelf.

The Minnesota FoodShare March Campaign is the largest grassroots food and fund drive in the state, accomplished by participating groups and individuals engaged in the fight against hunger in support of our 300 partner food shelves.

Hamline Church Votes to become an Altar for All Congregation

On Sunday, December 4, 2016 Hamline Church voted unanimously to become an Altar for All Congregation. At Hamline Church, the Christian altar is open to all loving couples who can legally marry and who request to make vows in the church, recognizing their belief in the sacred covenant of Christian marriage.

The Full Resolution Says:

We, Hamline Church, as a United Methodist congregation, have committed to supporting and honoring same-sex marriages in the same way that we support and honor other marriages. We believe that banning same-sex marriage is inconsistent with Christ’s teaching, and the constitution of the United Methodist Church. We fully recognize and assume the risks associated with these commitments, because we are called upon by God, through Jesus Christ, to resist injustice and oppression in whatever forms they present themselves. Our sanctuary is open for all to make a commitment of love and fidelity through Christian marriage.
