What We Learned Last Sunday

Learning and Fun!

We flip flopped some lessons, and learned about Blind Bart last week. It went well with our discussion of Blessings from Children’s Time. Jesus blessed Bart by restoring his eyesight, and then Bart blessed others by sharing the story of Jesus with others! We also had a great time creating our own ways to capture our blessings on a daily basis.


Coming Up This Sunday

Learning and Fun!

Our story this week is about how Mary uses really expensive perfume and pours it on Jesus’ feet. The disciples are appalled and think this is super wasteful, but what does Jesus say about this?

We Opened a NEW CLASS!

Our preschool/preK friends are LOVING our new class! Three, four, and 5 year olds are now welcome to meet in room 103 after Children’s Time.


Their class consists of a group circle time where they will learn one another’s names and use a feelings chart to share how they are feeling that morning, followed by a story and then plenty of free play and optional activity time. This class is serving as a great bridge between the nursery and our regular Sunday School programming.


HUGE Thanks to Judy, Joy, and Gannett for stepping up to lead this class! We cannot offer such great, age-appropriate learning without the help of dedicated volunteers! You are all such a Blessing!

Planning for Earth Day!

Our annual Earth Day Celebration will be Sunday, April 27th! One of our projects will be creating pollinator houses. To do this, we need some help collecting empty toilet paper tubes, and empty, clean cans. Look for the collection bins in the East Entry. Thanks for your help!

Come See Me!

A New Feature

Part of building community is getting to know one another in the important spaces that we inhabit outside of church. Come See Me is an opportunity for youth to invite members of their church family to attend their special events. If you have a concert, big game, or other awesome event coming up, send an email to familyministry@haumc.org and we will make sure your church family is invited!

If you are interested in supporting Hennepin youth at their big events, send an email to familyministry@haumc.org. We will put you on a list and let you know about upcoming events!


An Exciting Message from Lynne! I have already been invited to a couple of concerts! One of them is Saturday evening. I am attending with another great Hennepin friend and I can’t wait! Be sure to reach out to me directly (lynne@haumc.org) if anyone else would like to meet us there!
 

Board Game Day and Crafternoon!

April 5th from 1pm-4pm

Looking for something fun to do on a Saturday? Join us on April 5th from 1–4pm in Carlson Hall for an epic Board Game Day! Whether you’re a board game pro or just want to try something new, we’ve got games for all skill levels.


Bring your favorite game or check out a new one from our huge selection. Stay for the whole afternoon or just pop in for a round or two! Snacks will be provided, so grab a friend (or two) and come ready for some fun and fellowship. Open to everyone 3rd grade and up.

Just like the last board game day, we are calling all crafters! You, HAUMC members, and friends are invited to join other crafters in the Longfellow room for fun, fellowship (and snacks!) and working on projects. Either come with your own current craft or needlework project or choose from options provided. There will be materials and guidance available if you would like to make friendship bracelets; learn to knit or crochet; help tie a quilt to give to a local agency; stuff a bear to be given to a newly baptized HAUMC child; use a knitting frame to make a cap for an Emerson School child who may not have one; or knit or crochet a prayer shawl to be given in support and care for a Hennepin member.
