Upcoming Lessons

Story - "What do you do with a problem?"

This Week:
Holy Week -
We will use the book, "Easter Love Letter from God - Bible Stories," by Glenys Nellist.
A Note from Lynne

Holy Week is quickly approaching! I will miss seeing everyone at our egg dyeing extravaganza that has become part of our Hennepin tradition over the past several years.

A silver lining to all of this is that usually we have to cram all of the holy week learning into one Sunday school lesson because we do not have Sunday School on Easter Sunday. This year, we will be offering mini lessons throughout the week. Use whatever lessons and materials work best for your family. My prayer is that these lessons will add a richness to your week that you may not have had in previous years.

Sending you all of my love!
-Lynne
This Week's Online Sunday School: Palm Sunday!

Before you get started!!!
• Grab a candle if you want to light one.
• Check out the downloads. There is a donkey craft and a coloring sheet to go with this lesson. Please print out the sheets before you begin the video.
Donkey.pdf (there are two pages in the pdf file)
• You'll also need a stick (yardstick, ruler or other stick), stapler, glue and yarn/ribbon.

Here is the link to Online Sunday School for this week:

* For Palm Sunday and Holy Week, we will be using the book, "Easter Love Letters from God - Bible Stories , " by Glenys Nellis, illustrated by Sophie Allsopp, published by Zonderkidz.
Let's Make a Movie Together!*
Would you be willing to send me photos and videos of your kiddos? It would be so uplifting to see all of their smiling faces! I will take whatever photos and videos I receive and create a video to share in this newsletter so we can all enjoy seeing our church friends! 

* The newsletter gets posted on our Facebook page, so please only send photos if you are comfortable with them being shared.*

How Can We Help?
How about being a penpal? There are many people in our congregation who are considered "at-risk", and are feeling isolated and alone. They can't go out and may not have as much digital access and expertise as some of us. Take a look at this cute video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=16&v=4HH1kRilJbM and then email me at  lynne@haumc.org  if you would like to be a source of joy and encouragement to one of our members that are homebound. Younger child artwork would also be great to send!
