Faith's Imagination with Rev. Dr. Nancy Victorin-Vangerud

Sundays 9-9:50am (starting January 11) in the Longfellow Room

By gathering before worship, we connect with care and conversation, preparing ourselves to enter into celebration. We ground ourselves with thoughtful questions, seeking to re-imagine Christian meaning and embodied paths of spiritual practice. Sometimes our focus is a scripture series, a timely book, poetry, or an all-church read.

Themes that speak to us are social and environmental justice, democratic pluralism, inclusive communities, and reparative futures. And… there’s coffee! For more info, email Nancy Victorin-Vangerud (nmvicvang@gmail.com).

In 2026, we’ll be exploring historic and contemporary personal letters to shape spirituality calling us for our time:

Winter Jan 11 – Feb 15: “When We Are Called to Dissent and Resist,” based on the letters of Lt. Silas Soule, who refused to follow orders and participate in the 1864 Sand Creek Massacre, Colorado.

Lent Feb 22 – April 5: “Letters from the Heart: Voices of Courage, Conscience and Consolation,” starting with Paul (2 Cor. 3:2-3), we’ll explore letters (and the lives of the letter-writers) from clergy and lay leaders influential in Christian spirituality–Hadejwich, Martin Luther, Sarah Crosby, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Martin Luther King Jr., and Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde.

Spring April 12 – May 17: “Letters to Pope Francis: Rebuilding a Church with Justice and Compassion”, by Matthew Fox, as we prepare for his Earth Sunday visit with HAUMC! We’ll explore Fox’s letters for the sake of the Community of Creation.

Class is led by Nancy Victorin-Vangerud, participants, and guests. Feel free to email Nancy for more information and sign up, so that weekly letters can be sent by email.

At Hennepin Avenue UMC we believe that worship is the work of the people. Sermons explore the intersection of historical texts and current realities. Our excellent music program launches soul through choral and communal song. Children lead in worship, we sing varieties of hymns meant to engage hearts and imaginations, and our cathedral sanctuary bears witness to an enduring desire to praise God in all ways. In the United Methodist Church, communion is open to all and is shared on the first Sunday of the month. Worship is enriched by a variety of voices, including our pastors, Rev. Elizabeth Macaulay and Pastor Laura Hannah, along with guest preachers and members of the community.

Confirmation Class
2026-02-22 11:15 - 12:30, 2026-03-01 11:15 - 12:30 | MN
Sundays 11:15-12:30 in the Church of Youth

Confirmation is a vital ministry where youth are supported throughout their spiritual

journey. The program encourages students to connect with God, the Bible, the Church, and caring adults. Participants may join a confirmation class anytime between their 8th grade year and their senior year of high school.

Student learning will center around classroom time, hands-on service activities, field trips, and yearly summer mission trips. Students are expected to attend regularly, participate in worship, complete service hours and meet with mentors. Their final activity will be the creation of their own faith statement prior to the rite of confirmation in worship. For more info, email Lynne Carroll (lynne@haumc.org).
