StuMin What's Happening
TONIGHT!
Wednesday Night Students
6:30-8:00pm
In the Student Center

Tonight at 6:30, our small groups and leaders will be back together in the Student Center. We’re talking about starting off 2022 on the right foot. We know it’s almost February, but who doesn’t need a reminder and maybe even a redo to an interesting start to the new year? Ask your student to share with you what their most favorite part of the night was and why was it their favorite?
THIS WEEKEND!
E3
This Sunday
11:00am-12:00pm
In the Student Center


This week in E3 we continue our Study on the book of Mark and will be digging into Mark 6:30-8:30. The main point for this weekend is that “because of his unique power as creator, Jesus renews and restores what sin and darkness broke.” Ask your student which story from the reading today spoke to you the most and why?
CONFIRMATION
This Sunday
11:00am-12:00pm
In the Student Center



This week at Confirmation, Pastor Natalee will be teaching about our United Methodist sacraments. Ask your student if they can tell you what those two sacraments are and tell you something new they learned about them today. Please note that donuts and coffee are not two of our UM sacraments. :-)

PARENTS OF ALL CONFIRMANDS: You received an email on TUESDAY outlining all the details of our confirmation service scheduled for Sunday, February 13th at 9:15am. Please read that email and complete the google form HERE by Friday!
UPCOMING EVENTS!
Pandemic Parenting Seminar
Wednesday, February 2nd
at 6:30 pm
 
Join us for a special one-night event as a panel of counselors and other experts help get parents, caregivers, and others through this new era of parenting. They can answer the tough questions and give expert advice on how best to stay ahead in this tough parenting world.

 We sure hope you will join us for this very special opportunity to learn from others - know you're not alone! Experts Laura Butler, Lauren Spencer, and Dr. Chuck Cancilla will be sharing what they see working regularly with kids and teens, sharing practical tools for parenting, and will have a Q&A to answer your most pressing parenting questions.
 
Registration is strongly encouraged so we have enough space and more importantly, we can get your questions to our panelists prior to the event on the 2nd.
Do you love to Organize?
OR
Do you like Data Entry?

Your student ministry staffers are looking for some amazing helpers!

DO YOU LOVE TO ORGANIZE THINGS?
Our storage space is looking a bit (okay, if i'm honest, a LOT) discombobulated! Are your closets the envy of those that work at The Container Store? We'd love your HELP!!! Email heather.mccreary@hmumc.org and she can tell you just how we could use your help!

NOT AN ORGANIZER BUT YOU DO LOVE DATA ENTRY? We're also looking for a couple awesome adults to update our database! This would be a Wednesday night "job" for a couple weeks. We'd need you to complete a background check prior to volunteering for this and we'd provide you with all the tools you'd need! Please email heather.mccreary@hmumc.org if this is something you'd be able to help with!
SUNDAY SNACKS!

Huge shoutout to the following families for helping with donuts the past couple of weeks: Our students have been scarfing down these yummy treats each Sunday!

Our Students love a little snack as they begin our time together in E3 and confirmation! If you want to be part of the list of favorite people the students love, you too can sign up to bring muffins or donuts! We'd love your help providing donuts or muffins for students on SUNDAY MORNINGS!

THANK YOU to everyone who has contributed Sunday morning food this fall! Our students are hungry when they arrive and are SO APPRECIATIVE
