On June 11 we will take the annual Love offering.  This offering is taken in advance of Annual Conference and benefits international, national and Minnesota missions.  In 2016, almost $100,000 was raised Conference wide.

This year’s offering will be split three ways:

• 60%       United Methodist University of Sierra Leone-School of Applied Health Sciences.  The funding will be used to train health care workers in an area where there is a critical shortage.
• 30%       Emma Norton Services.  This program, an ongoing mission recipient of Hamline Church, provides housing and services to women and children in transition.
• 10%       Volunteers in Mission Scholarships.  These funds assist volunteer missionaries around the world with travel and living expenses.
