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 can't believe we're already half way through January! I'm so thankful for the start to the year the youth program has had, especially last Sunday's Youth Conversation. 

Thank you to all who came and shared your thoughtful feedback and suggestions regarding our ministry. I've begun reviewing my notes from our conversation this week, and I know the ideas you shared will help make the community we're trying to build even stronger. I specifically want to thank Jacy and Vivian for facilitating our conversation. It's always exciting to see youth lead well, and I'm excited to offer more opportunities for youth to lead at church and in the community so more students can have that experience. 

Quick Reminder!
The deadline for signing up for the Lock-in is quickly approaching, so please don't miss out.
