January is Homelessness Awareness Month. Every week in Chapel Time we will discuss this issue with our Hennepin Kids. Our month of raising awareness will culminate on Sunday, January 28th by celebrating the Sabbath to End Homelessness in the Traditional Worship Service and then the Super Bowl Host Committee sponsored event called, "Bold Hope in the North". This event is a collaboration by the Downtown Coalition to End Homelessness and showcases some of the best local talent that the Twin Cities has to offer!
Every week we will offer a challenge to help families connect with this important issue:
People who are experiencing homelessness do not have access to fresh produce, dairy or meat products. We challenge you to Cook your dinner tonight using only cans of food.

Let's Plan the PERFECT Party for Paul Bunyan!
Sunday, February 25th @1:00pm
HAUMC Sanctuary
Come along with us and join the party!
FREE FAMILY CONCERT!
"Big Ears and the Blue Ox" is an original interactive concert presentation with brass instruments, drums, and narrator designed for children ages 2 - 10. The concert takes kids on a trip through the Minnesota woods while they help Big Ears the Rabbit build the perfect song for Paul Bunyan's birthday party. Along the way, children learn how to carefully listen for musical concepts like melody, rhythm and harmony while singing and moving their bodies to the music.
RSVP to the Facebook event

The
Values Project is a year-long initiative designed to equip families to raise children who thrive emotionally, socially, and spiritually. Get inspiration, practical ideas, family activities, and parenting tips from our network of seasoned parents and faith leaders, because it takes a village to raise a good human. Each month we'll explore a different value-like honesty, loyalty, creativity, kindness, and more.
Mary reflects on modeling honesty for your children in order to help shape their lives.
What does it mean to live in God's truth? And how do we model this kind of living for our children?
Written By: Mary Lindberg
Teaching young kids about telling the truth is really, really important. Our children's whole lives will be much more fulfilling if they can distinguish truth from a lie. They won't have to live in a hiding, pretending sort of way if they can face up to truths, even hard ones. Learning to tell the truth is kind of like babies learning to comfort themselves; the skill can improve our whole being.
In the Bible we read this verse in John 8:32: You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. The truth Jesus is speaking about here is God's truth, not just our own. This verse goes beyond telling the truth to living God's truth...
