Teenagers in Grades 8-12 are invited to participate in a multi-faceted ministry at Hennepin Avenue United Methodist Church. You're encouraged to join Youth Director Rick Belbutoski and other adult leaders for a variety of ministries, events, and ways to serve your neighbor in the name of Jesus Christ.
Hello Hennepin Youth and Families, 

I hope you're adjusting to the changes in your daily rhythms well. I know it's been a big change for my family. 

One change I am excited about is that the Hennepin Youth Group is kicking off virtual meetings this Sunday. More info about how to connect to Confirmation class Sunday morning and Youth Group Sunday evening are below.

Schedule for Sunday March 22
9:00 am - Confirmation - Made in the Image of God - Zoom 
10:00 am - Sanctuary Service livestream
5:00 pm - Youth Group - How are you, & where is God? - Instagram Live



Grace and Peace,

Rick
Confirmation will Meet Online 
S tarting Sunday March 29

Since we are unable to meet in person, we will be holding confirmation classes online through a zoom call every Sunday at 9 am. I will make sure you have the link to connect every week. 

In light of travel restrictions, I plan to hold a zoom meeting at 9 am on March 29. Our meeting for March 29th was originally scheduled as a Sunday off due to Spring break. We will continue to take the first Sunday of the month off, meaning there will not be a zoom call on April 5. 

You can click here to join the call Sunday morning March 22 at 9 am. The call will only last 40 minutes. If you have questions or just want to connect you can email me at rick@haumc.org or send me a Direct Message on Instagram @rickb89.
Youth Group moves to Instagram  Live March 29

Schools are closed, and many of us are self quarantined, but that doesn't mean youth can't continue to be in community with their HAUMC friends. On Sunday at 5 pm, I will be going on Instagram live for youth group. Youth can join by following @hennepinaveumc. 

If you have questions or just want to connect you can email me at rick@haumc.org or send me a Direct Message on Instagram @rickb89.
Mission Trip Update

I have been in contact with Door Network, our ministry partners for the 2020 mission trip to Chicago. They have informed me that they will not be making a decision regarding this summers' trips until the eight weeks the CDC is recommending for social distancing has been completed. 

It is my hope and prayer that we will be able to serve the people of Chicago and educate ourselves on what it means to seek justice for God's people, just as we've planned. I recognize this may not be possible, and I will continue to share updates on the status of the trip as I receive them.

It only takes a deposit of $100 to register, and youth and friends who sign up by March 31 can take $50 off the total price of the trip. ($325) Youth can  sign up to participate until may 10 as long as space allows. and May 10 is $375.

If you have additional questions about scholarship opportunities or any other topic, please email or ask me, Rick, in person. rick@haumc.org. Register for the trip by going to
