Hennepin Kids for LYFE latest news

This Sunday is Communion and

Serve Sunday

Sunday February 5th is Communion Sunday! That means the children will receive Communion with their parents before being dismissed. It also means it's our monthly "Serve Sunday" service project! This month our Confirmation class is leading the kids in a service project that will support our neighbors who attend Community Meals. The older kids will be making fleece scarves that will be available to those who attend while the younger kids will be coloring and writing encouraging words on the paper placemats that are used at the dinner tables. And we'll also have a donation bin with additional items in it to be distributed. Our teens in Confirmation will be around to talk with the younger kids about why it's important to support people in our community who are dealing with housing insecurity.

Vacation Bible School - Save the Date!

Mark your calendars for June 26-30. We will be partnering with Good Samaritan UMC for VBS again this year. If you or your middle school/highschool students are available to volunteer to help at VBS, could you let me know? Email me at keesha@haumc.org.

Are you planning to send your kids to a UMC summer camp this year? The 2023 Camp dates have been released and registration is now open. Click HERE for a complete list of camp options.

Are you hoping to send your kids to camp the same week as other HAUMC kids? Let me know if you want to coordinate with other families in order to attend camp together this summer and I will make sure you get connected with one another!

Family Faith Formation

I want to introduce you to a fun Valentine's Day Countdown that you can use with your kids. There are a myriad of ways you can use these 14 hearts between February 1st and 14th. You can print them and write messages to your children and add a heart each day to their bedroom door or a space in your home where they'll be excited to see a new one appear each day! Or you can prompt your children to fill them out for one another each day, or even choose a different relative, neighbor, teacher, or friend to give one to each day leading up to Valentine's Day. However you choose to use them, you are leading your kids in kindness and helping to build a pathway in their mind between love and kindness. Click here.
