In just 5 minutes, you're on your way to amazing field trips, retreats, and lock-ins!
|
The next few months are absolutely filled with youth opportunities at Hennepin. Well, not
at Hennepin, because so many of them are actually off-site field trips! All it takes is 5 minutes to register and commit to something great. What does 5 minutes get you? Skiing, movies, road trips, camping, service projects, and yeah, a little fun with your church friends along the way.

The annual
Ski Trip (Feb. 15-17) to Lutsen and Spirit Mountain is calling both experienced and beginner skiers (yes, lessons are available). That's not all! The ever-popular
Service+Cinema Lock-In returns February 8 with The Lego Movie 2, plus one of our favorite places to serve, Feed My Starving Children. And we're heading to
Camp Koronis to join other United Methodists for an overnight retreat and this year it's that magical word, FREE!
Meanwhile, registration for the mission trip (August 4-9) goes up really soon and
registration for LYFE Camp (June 23-29) is already available. And of course, we have great scholarship opportunities for these major events.
Friends, help keep the salt out of Pastor Nate's beard and put a smile on his face with YOUR early registration for all of these excellent events!
