Hennepin Advent Event 
Sunday, November 29 | 3:30-5:30pm
Outdoors at Hennepin Avenue UMC
Longing for light as the days grow shorter? Celebrate the first Sunday of Advent! Hennepin neighbors, friends, and members are invited to a drive-thru Advent Celebration! 
You can see the Christmas decorations, enjoy a donut-to-go, and even drop off your commitment card! All ages can enjoy this safe, socially-distanced opportunity to experience the light of Advent as it spreads from the spire into our community. Psst...you won’t want to miss the very special lighting of the church steeple...all are welcome!
This Week's Online Sunday School:
Advent! In Darkness & Light
It's hard to believe, but Christmas is right around the corner! This week, we will begin our first of four Advent lessons. Throughout December, we will consider the notions of light being good, while darkness is sometimes considered bad. Is this true in the eyes of God, or do both darkness and light play important roles in our world and in the ways that God is at work in our world?

Before you get started!!!
• Get your Advent Family Bag out - we'll look through it together!

Only 2 Weeks Left for Angel Tree!
Monday, November 16, through Monday, December 7

Every year Hennepin partners with Refugee Services at the Minnesota Council of Churches to provide Christmas gifts for children who have resettled in the Twin Cities over the past year. These families are blessed by the generosity of the Hennepin community. To minimize health risks for all, we're going virtual with the Angel Tree gift assignments this year.

Please click on this link to sign up to shop for one of these children, or for a whole family. Make sure to scroll down to the bottom of the list for children's names! Please deliver unwrapped gifts with the child's name/family number to the East Entry of Hennepin by Monday, December 7. Current building hours are 8am-4pm Mon-Fri.

Refugee Services recommends shopping for something warm (hats, scarves, gloves, warm socks), something fun (toys, games, soccer balls, cell phone chargers, ear buds, etc), and something for learning (games, books, puzzles, etc.) Thank you for being a blessing!
