Meet Our New Director of Family Ministry THIS Sunday!
Last week Judy announced that Keesha Sedgwick has been hired as our new Director of Family Ministry! Her first week at Hennepin is THIS SUNDAY, August 14th. Please plan to be at Hennepin on Sunday to welcome Keesha! We are planning an ice cream party and some other fun activities so that Keesha can meet and begin to get to know our awesome kids and youth.

We are also celebrating the baptism of Torin Strickland in worship, and we love having lots of our Hennepin kids in attendance as part of our baptism celebrations!

So, here's the plan for Sunday:
Kids will sit with their parents for the beginning of the worship service. Worship bags and book baskets are located at every sanctuary entrance. Judy will invite kids up to the front pews for the introduction of Keesha and for the baptism. After that, Keesha, Kelsey Johnson, and Sonja Johnson will lead the kids and youth outside for games and ice cream!

We are so excited for your families to meet Keesha, and to be there to welcome Baby Torin officially into the Hennepin family!

Join us and sing along to the rock anthems you know and love! Invite your friends and neighbors - see you there!
