Reflection: We will celebrate the many ways we are all in service here at Hennepin, in the community and in the world. We will read 1 Corinthians 12:4-6, 12 and hear from several around the circle about their own experience of seeing and being the Face of God in the ministries in which they engage.
Reflection: Servant Sunday! This Sunday we will celebrate and give thanks for all of our volunteers who serve God through Hennepin Church. Serving is foundational to our relationship with Jesus. Jesus calls us to serve, equips us to serve and gives our lives purpose by empowering us to serve.
There will be a Church Conference following worship to elect new leaders and to approve compensation for Rev. Frenchye Magee (required by UMC). 11:15am - 11:45am
Summer Brunch starts on June 10, 2018.
For the Children: Today is "Servant Sunday" and we're celebrating all the ways God helps us serve others in the world. We'll say 'thank you' to God for giving us skills, talents and other resources to do things that make a difference. Who are some of the people in our church who make a difference for you? Maybe it's your Sunday School teacher? Or maybe a volunteer who helps you get a cup of milk for Breakfast on a Sunday morning. Or maybe it's a person who taught you how to serve a table for Community Meals. Who have you seen serve, has served you, or taught you to serve? Sunday is a day to give thanks for them!
