What We Learned Last Sunday

Learning and Fun!

We used goldfish crackers to show how the early followers shared everything - even when some people started out with more gifts and belongings than others.


Coming Up this Sunday

June 22: Learning & Fun!

We are starting a whole series on the adventures and travels of the Apostle Paul. Our lesson this week will feature Paul’s conversion story along with some fun with gluey hands!


Next Sunday

June 29: Learning and Fun!

Paul got into lots of dangerous adventures! We’ll learn about how he escaped over a wall and we’ll see if we can help some stuffed animals escape a tower on the playground in laundry baskets!

Children’s and Youth Teams Forming

I am beyond excited by the renewed energy and enthusiasm that I feel every week as I settle back into full time ministry with our kids, families, and youth. As we build these ministries together, it is critical that we have diverse voices helping to shape these ministries. Over the summer, I will be creating both a Children’s Team and a Youth Team. Ideally, these teams will consist of around 5 people each. Teams will meet quarterly to help plan things like the Advent festival, discuss curriculum planning, youth events and fellowship opportunities, and how these ministries support the overall mission of the church. If you would like to be one of these important voices, please reach out to Lynne Carroll at lynne@haumc.org.
