Christmas Eve

I want to thank everyone who played a role in making our Family Christmas Eve Service a success! Our HKFL children did such a great job in their choirs, the pageant, and the 12 Days of Christmas song. I think that there is something profound and beautiful about having children, of all ages, involved in worship. I loved that we had youth in key roles! We had youth do the reading, play roles in the pageant, help lead children in the pageant, and collect the offering! I am committed to finding more ways for our youth to be involved in Worship, so if you have suggestions or ideas let me know! HERE are the highlights from the service.

Happening in January

January is shaping up to be a busy month! 


Sunday January 8 is Confirmation. We'll meet in the Church of Youth and then go together up to the Harrison Room for a unique Confirmation class experience! 


Saturday January 21 is The Event, a Conference-wide youth event. This is for all youth, grades 6-12 and it is a requirement for our Confirmation Class (unless it interferes with school or an extracurricular activity). I need you all to REGISTER on REALM ASAP if your students are joining us so that I can register our group with the Conference and so that I can determine if we need to plan a car pool.


Sunday January 22 is a Church-wide Soup Potluck following the Worship Service. I hope your entire family will plan to attend! We will have the Church of Youth open for youth to hang out. As life returns to Koinonia Hall for social events, I hope that life will return to the Church of Youth space as well! 


Sunday January 29 is Youth Group! In addition to eating lunch together and hanging out we will be putting together Valentines Day care packages for our HAUMC college students.

Care Packages for College Students

January 4-29

Our HAUMC youth will be putting together Valentines Day care packages to send to HAUMC students who are away at college. We are collecting the following items to go inside the care packages: Valentines Cards, candy, snacks (microwave popcorn, ramen, instant mac and cheese, etc). Collection bins will be located in the East Entry through Sunday, January 29. And on January 29th our Youth Group time will be spent putting the packages together.
