Caring Connections

We would like to pilot a new community building opportunity by connecting families with our homebound Hennepin friends. The kids love making cards to send with flowers for Easter and Christmas. What if we connect families more closely with homebound individuals and create opportunities for visits and more authentic connection? The elderly frequently love to interact with young people, and many of our young people don’t have the benefit of grandparents living nearby. If you are interested, please connect with Lynne Carroll at lynne@haumc.org.

ASP Mission Trip Update!

Wednesday April 30 • 6:30-8:30pm

Meet for Culture and Sensitivity Night in the Fellowship Hall at Good Samaritan UMC, 5730 Grove St., Edina, MN 55436. This is a mandatory event. We’ll have fun, learn important things, and eat some Dairy Queen treats!

Capturing Stories

In our brainstorming session last month, some of the youth indicated that they would enjoy spending time with our elderly members. We would love to invite interested youth to interview some of our homebound members as part of our 150th Celebration. We would capture these interviews on video, and then edit them to be used in worship or on our social media platforms. I’ve heard from a couple of you, but would love to hear from more! Interested? Email Lynne Carroll at lynne@haumc.org.

Come See Me!

Part of building community is getting to know one another in the important spaces that we inhabit outside of church. This is an opportunity for youth to invite members of their church family to attend their special events. Email familyministry@haumc.org with the details of your concert, play, big game… you get it! GROWN UPS - if you and/or your kids are interested in sharing these special events with our youth, use the same link and let us know. We will put you on an email list about upcoming events!
