What We Learned Last Sunday
Learning and Fun! It Was Bible Sunday! 3-year-olds and 3rd graders received Bibles during Children’s Time in worship. In our classes, Hennepin Kids learned about Abraham and Sarah’s visitors and 3rd graders tested their knowledge playing Bible golf. Club 67 learned about Abraham and Sarah, and the older teens finally began discussing, “What We Talk About When We Talk About God.”

Coming Up this Sunday

October 18: Hennepin Kids will learn about Isaac’s Blessing, Club 67 will learn about Jacob, and older youth will continue with their book study and talk about how the world is way bigger and way weirder than we think.

Next Sunday

October 25: TRUNK-OR-TREAT IS THIS AFTERNOON! In Sunday School, our elementary kids will learn about Ruth & Naomi, Club 67 is going to learn about Joseph, and the older teens will continue to talk about how the world is way weirder than we think about.

Living The Questions

Sunday Mornings • 11:30am-12:30pm

This week we'll be discussing the Bible. The authority of the Bible plays an important role in one's understanding and participation in Christian worship and practice. Please join other parents, and folks of all ages for this weekly class about Methodism and Progressive Christianity. We’ll learn together and engage in discussion about what it means to be part of a Progressive Christian community in the world today. Childcare is available in Room 103.

Extended Sunday Morning Childcare

Offered Weekly from 11:30am-12:30pm • Room 103

There are so many amazing classes available this fall, and we want parents to be able to take part and connect with others. We are expanding our Sunday childcare so that parents of young children can enjoy brunch with their children, and then take them to room 103 for fun with our loving childcare providers!

We’ll continue to meet weekly to learn music for engaging practice and leading worship at various times throughout the year.
