Welcome Back on May 30!
Registration links for in-person worship are available on our Return to In-Person Worship webpage, haumc.org/return. Registration opened on Monday, May 24th @ 9 AM, and closes on Friday @  2 PM. Reminder: You only need to register the people in your family that will be attending worship. Children and youth who are either attending Sunday school or the nursery do not need to be included in your family reservation.

Families will have two options for their in-person worship experience.

Option 1: Children may attend worship with their families in their family pods. If your children are planning to attend worship, they should be counted in the on-line registration system. There will be take-home bags for younger children to help them engage more fully with the service. There will be a pre-recorded Children’s Time, but children will not be excused after Children’s Time to attend Sunday school. The play and pray rug and toys will not be available. Per the City of Minneapolis Mask Mandate, masks are required for all worship participants.

Option 2: Children ages 3 and up may be checked in for Sunday school at the playground prior to their parents going inside for worship. They may be checked out as parents leave worship. Children who are not attending worship with their parents do not need to be counted in the on-line registration system. Our summer Sunday School plan will include opportunities for kids to become reacquainted with one another, lots of messy crafts that will culminate in an art show when we kick off fall programming, and curriculum that centers around diversity and empathy. Masks are not required outside, but will be required if children need to go inside for restroom breaks or handwashing. Some masks will be available, but your child may feel more comfortable with their own mask from home.

Nursery: Nursery care will be available for infants–3 year olds. Per the City of Minneapolis Mask Mandate, clear face shields will be worn by nursery care providers. See you in church!
Thank You!
