Celebration of Life as Clergy - Wednesday, June 17, 7 p.m.
Each year, churches in the Minnesota Annual Conference take a Love Offering for missions in conjunction with our Annual Conference Session.
Our Love Offering is not simply charity, but a shared ministry, a way of joining God’s work in the world. Bishop Lanette Plambeck invites congregations to pray about and participate in the Love Offering. She shares, "This offering is more than a tradition. It is a tangible expression of our connectional life and our shared commitment to Christ’s mission. When we give, we participate in ministry that reaches far beyond what any one congregation could do alone."
Your donations to the 2025 Love Offering totaled $89,489.88! How much can we raise this year?
This year’s Love Offering will go to:
Midwest Mission (30%)
Love Boldly Mental Health Ministries Grant for Minnesota Conference Churches (20%)
Minnesota Conference's Emergency Response Fund (20%)
In addition to the Love Offering, congregations are invited to collect supplies and make kits for Midwest Mission and UMCOR.
Sunday, June 28th - Outdoor Worship & Picnic
