Care Ministry

The Care Ministry Team is a group of trained persons who visit Hennepin Avenue UMC members that are unable to attend church. This important group forms relationships that create and sustain an important bridge between those who are homebound and their faith community.

Along with regular visits, this team delivers poinsettias at Christmas and lilies at Easter. They also share Holy Communion. Their compassionate commitment ensures that every Hennepin Avenue UMC member can stay connected to the life of the church.

Congregational Care Team

This team works to reach out to the Hennepin Avenue UMC congregation to provide compassion, concern and connection in every age and stage of life.

This team focus is our life together, always with an emphasis on John Wesley’s most important question: “How is it with your soul?”

Audio/Visual Tech Team

The AV Tech Team invites you to explore the possibility of joining our marvelous team of AV volunteers! These dedicated and amazing folks make it possible for the technical side of worship (in-person and online) to happen every week. We could benefit from more volunteers joining us. Please contact us to learn in more detail about what is involved–we’ll show you the AV stations and equipment, and answer any questions you might have. Please email jonathan@haumc.org to let us know you’re interested. We look forward to meeting you!

Ushers & Greeters

Ushers and Greeters are integral to the operation of the Sunday worship services.

Ushers: Welcome the congregation to the sanctuary and hand out bulletins; help people with specific and special needs, they receive the congregation’s offering, and clean up the pews between services.

Greeters: Welcome church-goers to the building with a friendly smile and hello, and are available to help direct people wherever they are looking to go.

Please consider volunteering to be an Usher or a Greeter! You are welcome to help once a month, every Sunday, or specifically for holidays and special events.

The Dignity Center

The Dignity Center welcomes and supports people living in poverty on their path to stability.

The Dignity Center is a relationship-focused program of accountability, goal-setting, and skill-building. Participants work one-on-one with advocates who provide support around finding employment, overcoming criminal history, receiving health care, and securing housing. Every person who enters The Dignity Center is welcomed at the community table, where social connections and personal attention transform lives.

Volunteers give their time and talents to help run The Dignity Center.

PARTICIPATE! VOLUNTEER! DONATE!

MENTORING YOUNG ADULTS

Once a quarter the Young Adult Ministry will host an event for all young adults paired up with a mentor to share an activity and grab some time to hang out.
