 Campaign for Emma Norton’s Restoring Waters

 

Restoring Waters is Emma Norton Service’s new development at Highland Bridge. Their $3M campaign to fund the development is an opportunity for you to act boldly for justice and equity to help ENS better serve women and families.

ENS, a UWFaith National Mission, has served women and families for more than 100 years, providing safe and affordable housing which is still sorely lacking in our community.

Most of the women ENS serves are affected by mental illness, struggle with chemical health issues, or have a dual diagnosis or other disability.

Most have backgrounds of intergenerational poverty and homelessness, and many are dealing with the effects of systemic racism. They face numerous barriers to stability and independence.

Restoring Waters will provide safe and affordable housing with trauma-informed supportive services for healing, recovering, and truly transforming lives.

For more information about how you can invest in this bold vision of hope and healing, contact Melinda Khort, TC District UWFaith President, or ShawnaNelsen-Wills, ENS Advancement Director, or phone Shawna at 651-251-2632.

Scholarships Available for Women Seminary Students

Each year, Emma Norton scholarships are awarded to eligible women who are pursuing Christian vocations. Now is the time to apply if you or someone you know is interested. Scholarships range from $500 - $1100. The scholarship money comes from Emma Norton herself. Concerned about the struggles of young women to obtain an education in the early 1900’s, Emma Norton gave $25,000 in stocks and bonds to the Women’s Home Missionary Society. Her stipulation with the generous gift in 1921 was that the money was to remain intact and that half of the interest is to be used for scholarships for women going into full-time Christian vocations. The other half of the interest is to be used for a national mission. The stock account has grown since 1921 and hundreds of scholarships have been awarded. The fund is administered by the Designated Fund Committee of the MN Conference United Women in Faith. Women with college degrees and United Methodist backgrounds who are currently enrolled in a course of stu...
