Events - Hennepin Avenue United Methodist Church

Hennepin Avenue UMC is hosting a community-wide event and we need your help to host it!

Trunk or Treat returns to Hennepin Avenue UMC on Sunday, October 31st from noon to 2pm!

Children are invited to wear their costumes to church, and the community and Hennepin volunteers are invited to stay after service for lunch, a pumpkin decorating contest, and other fun activities before Trunk or Treat kicks off at noon and goes until 2 pm.

Hennepin members are also invited to bring pumpkins from home to participate in "The Best Jack O' Lantern" contest, which will be voted on by the families who attend Trunk or Treat. The best jack O'lantern and the best-decorated trunk will win a prize, as will some of our guests from the event. Kids will also enjoy face painting and a fun inflatable to play on!

sundays at hennepin

Connect every Sunday morning at 11:15 am, at our new hybrid event! "Sunday Morning Connect" is an opportunity for fellowship and connection, now available online via Zoom and in-person.

As we are beginning a new season of ministry, it's good to see one another's faces and hear one another's voices! Whether you are gathering for Sunday Morning Connect with a cup of coffee at home, or in-person (masked up!) in Hennepin Avenue UMC's Longfellow conference room – all are welcome to this hybrid event!

In-person attendees:

You're invited to stop by the Longfellow conference room, following Traditional worship, to check in and catch up with your Hennepin friends. Our "Zoom crew" of virtual attendees will be visible on the large screen in the conference room for you to greet. Our equipment will also allow them to see and hear you as well! A volunteer will be there to help facilitate.

Virtual attendees:

Similar to "Zoom Coffee Hour," you are invited to log on around 11:15 am to check in with one another and say "hello" to any in-person attendees who visit the Longfellow room Sunday morning. The Coffee Hour Zoom link and availability will remain the same, but now we are providing this opportunity to connect both online and in-person.

Holiday Donation Opportunity:
Sept 12 – Oct 24

EVENT DETAILS

Beginning September 12, Hennepin Avenue UMC (Hennepin) will be collecting donations to create Shoebox Christmas Gifts for Native American children and youth. This ministry is in partnership with the United Methodist Mission in Spirit Lake, ND where youth and adults from Hennepin have served in years past. Hennepin is one of several United Methodist churches that will be gathering donations for more than 6,000 young people living on reservations in the Dakotas and Minnesota who might not otherwise receive a Christmas present. Click here to hear about the impact of this outreach ministry.

Each shoebox will include an assortment of toys, winter gear, art supplies, and hygiene essentials. To build one shoebox it will cost $25. Our goal is to be able to make 200 shoebox gifts. Click here to sponsor Christmas Shoeboxes.

On November 6th, Hennepin youth will be joining youth from all over the Twin Cities to thoughtfully pack the shoeboxes as a part of the Serve MSP Fall Day of Service and in an ongoing partnership with the United Methodist Mission in Spirit Lake, ND.

If you would like the opportunity to shop for toys in addition to sponsoring: we will be collecting new toys for the following age ranges: Infant, Toddler, 3-5, 6-8, 9-12, 13 and up. These gifts can be dropped off in a donation bin in the East Entry or shipped directly to 511 Groveland Avenue, Minneapolis, MN 55403.

If you have any questions please contact Rick Belbutoski at rick@haumc.org.

HELP KEEP OUR NEIGHBORS WARM! Drof-off is
October 3–31

EVENT DETAILS

Winter is coming! Our neighbors who are experiencing homelessness – or have limited income to purchase adequate winter wear – are already looking for warm clothing. Despite the frigid weather, they will have to walk an average of 13 miles seeking to obtain services and they will have to wait at bus stops. Many will attempt to brave the elements rather than seek shelter.

We can make winter a bit more tolerable by donating coats and winter wear to The Dignity Center’s annual Winter Coat Drive. From October 3 through 31, purchase new donatable items, or sort through the coats in your closet–that one that you haven’t worn in years, that one that doesn’t fit as nicely anymore, that one that belonged to a loved one who is not around anymore – give them all to The Dignity Center. We will make sure that the poor and the marginalized receive your warm blessing – without charge!

Donations can be dropped off at The Dignity Center, or at Hennepin Avenue United Methodist Church in the East Entry. Please email Dignity@haumc.org to arrange a drop-off day and time. All donations are welcome, but because of our population, lots of big male sizes are especially needed.

Thank you for your support!

Contemplative Worship Series:
Saturdays @ 4pm, Oct 9–30

EVENT DETAILS

4pm: Contemplative Service in Koinonia Hall (formerly called Social Hall); light meal available following the service

3:30pm: Pre-service fellowship in Carlson Hall (optional)

Through days of exhausting schedules, multiple responsibilities, and critical decisions, many persons are looking for a place of quiet rest, a setting for worship that will refill and revitalize. Sometimes we find such buoyancy in praise, majestic or informal, or in the preached Word of God. We also may find such spiritual refreshment in worship which is still, reflective, and meditative. Contemplative Worship is a setting in which we quiet ourselves in order to open our souls to the ministry of God within. It is one way to hear the voice of God with our hearts.

Contemplative Worship waits for God in the silence. Contemplative Worship is an opportunity to be quiet and still in the midst of busyness, finding our spiritual center. Contemplative Worship bathes us in the rhythm of Jesus, a rhythm of moving into prayer and communion with God before going out to engage the world in meaningful ministry. Contemplative Worship does not imply that a person must be proficient in a certain skill or discipline to participate. It simply requires a desire to seek God and to be open to however God might choose to move within our lives.

While fruitful in solitude, Contemplative Worship can be uniquely experienced in community – a shared experience of silence, song, prayer, and readings. Those who worship together often will linger once the service has finished – for conversation and fellowship, sometimes food or ministry action out in the community.

Historically, contemplation has implied two things: fire and love. Contemplative Worship kindles the inner fire of the Spirit of God. Furthermore, Contemplative Worship increases in us in love and devotion for God and for all creation. The aim is an intimacy of relationship which comes from falling deeply in love with the One who loves us and who gives themselves for us. We welcome visitors to all of our services. A particular faith or past experience are not required. Come as you are, we would love to meet you and your family and help you learn about all that is going on around Hennepin Avenue United Methodist Church.

What to expect: Mark Squire, Director of Worship & Fine Arts describes, "For this October iteration of Contemplative Worship at Hennepin Avenue UMC, in the setting of quiet and silence we engage with several short readings, sing in the Taize tradition, and offer prayer with the lighting of candles. A guiding emphasis will be more on 'being' than 'doing'.”

Christian writer and mystic, Evelyn Underhill, author of Concerning the Inner Life (1926), compares the movement of inner and outer life to that of a pendulum. She says: "There must be two movements which must be plainly present in every spiritual life. The energy of its prayer [movement] must be directed on the one hand towards God, and on the other towards [people]. The first movement embraces the whole range of spiritual communion between the soul and God; in it, we turn towards Divine Reality in adoration, bathing, so to speak, our souls in the Eternal Light. In the second, we return, with the added peace and energy thus gained, to the natural world; there to do spiritual work for and with God for other [people]." (p. 51)

learn about preparing or revising wills:
NOV 14 @ 11:30AM

EVENT DETAILS

Younger and older adults alike–whether single, married, parents, or partners–should have a will in place. Without a will, your intent for loved ones and for charitable gifts may be compromised. Taking the first steps toward preparing your will, or reviewing one in place, is a key to good financial planning.

Mark your calendar and join the discussion. Conversations that frame this planning can be life-enriching.

More details and a Zoom link will be available soon. This workshop is hosted by Legacy Giving Team members and Jack Fistler (Director, Legacy Giving), and is part of a series on financial and gift planning in 2021-2022.

WATCH NOW > > > Moral Activism:
Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove

Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove is a writer, speaker, and moral activist who weaves his personal journey of transformation with the compelling stories of ordinary people who leaned into the public square with fresh imagination to love in uncommon ways and create transformation in their communities.

On Saturday, January 16, 2021, Hennepin hosted Jonathan for a 90-minute conversation and discussion (via zoom) offering an opportunity to engage with some of the most thoughtful and inspirational voices in progressive faith.

Jonathan has been called “a scribe for the moral movement in America.” His most recent book, Revolution of Values, returns to the heart of the Christian message—to follow Jesus, love our neighbor, bless those who persecute us, and pursue justice on behalf of “the least of these.” He serves on the national steering committee of the Poor People's Campaign and directs The School for Conversion, an education center committed to "making surprising friendships possible."
