Hello Hennepin Youth and Families!

My prayer for you and your family is that you are able to enjoy the last week's of summer, and if you haven't yet, you're preparing to have a great transition towards the fall schedule soon. It's so important to ensure that amidst the business that come along with this season we continue to make time for worship and faith community.

We have one more event before the end of the summer. See details below to join in the fun and go see The River Rats on Thursday August 26th!



Grace and Peace,

Rick

September 12th Mini-Golf Outing Renamed to Honor Erin Peterson

Hennepin Youth will honor the memory of our friend, Erin Peterson, by naming our annual mini-golf outing for her. She was the event's first winner two years ago, and this event will remind us of all the memories we've shared with her at the start of this and many falls to come.

This year's event will take place at noon on September 12th. Youth will have the opportunity to enjoy food with family and friends after the 10 am service, before gathering in the East Entry to walk over to the Walker for a round of roof top putt putt.
Youth Team Seeking Leaders

In order to have an awesome fall, we are looking for more youth to step up and help plan some of our upcoming events. A general framework for the fall is coming together, but great events happen a variety of ideas come together and youths' voices are central to what our activities look like.

The Youth Leadership Team meets once a month, and works on making sure that the various parts of youth ministry are growing and providing the loving, supportive, and fun environment that we work to foster.

If you know a youth interested in helping make our fall events even better, please email Rick Belbutoski (rick@haumc.org) or Heather Alden

Calling All Sunday School Teachers!
We can't wait to begin our fall programming, and that means welcoming back our long-time teachers and welcoming new faces, as well. Under normal circumstances our teachers work in three person teams with 2 people in the classroom each week and the third person having the week off. We welcome adults and teens 8th grade and older to volunteer as teachers with our Hennepin Kids program. Please contact Lynne Carroll at lynne@haumc.org and let her know how excited you are to help touch the lives of our Hennepin Kids this school year!
