Stockholder Dinner - September 15
The Youth Annual Mission Trip Stockholder Dinner is Sunday, September 15 at 5pm. This is a wonderful way for our youth to say thank you for all the support our congregation has given. We hope everyone will come hear all the wonderful work God did through our youth on their trip.
We will need help with setup in the gym starting at 3:00. Also, sign up below to help setup or bring food below. If you have food questions, contact Kyann Graham at kyann214@gmail.com

Pumpkins...Pumpkins...Pumpkins
Can you believe it? The pumpkins will be here at the of the month on September 29th at 1pm . The Youth Pumpkin Patch is our largest fundraiser of the year. The proceeds allow us to offset cost for Warmth In Winter, mission trips, and other ministry needs.

The patch is ran by volunteers. It is a great way for youth to earn service hours OR youth bucks for working the patch during unloads and filling shifts. Youth bucks will be sent out at the close of the patch. Youth bucks can be used to offset the cost of youth ministry trip fees. The patch runs from September 30 - October 30.
During this free Impact Sumner seminar we'll look at:
- the different signs and symptoms of anxiety to help parents identify it,
- understanding parents' role in helping regulate your child's anxiety,
- identifying and supporting big emotions in children,
- how parents can bring relief with some practical tips,
- and strategies to help your calm your child down during episodes of anxiety.
Reserve your free seat today on our facebook event or at www.hfumc.org/AnxiousKid

We have a spot on our team for you!
Do you want to invest in the lives of our students? Would you be willing to teach or assist during Sunday School a couple Sundays a month? How about lead a game or a lesson on Sunday Nights? Do you like a smaller group setting? Wednesday nights might be a good fit. Are you more of a behind the scenes leader who can help us keep things organized? Do you like to cook? There are so many different ways to get involved in our student ministries.

God is blessing our ministry and it is growing. We are praying over coaches to coach two new groups:

High School Sunday Night Bible Study (need 4 coaches)
Middle School Youth Discipleship Group (need 3 coaches)


I hope you will pray about a way you can join the team. Contact Jesse Fleck for more details at jessica.fleck@hfumc.org or 615.506.3586
