We desperately need adults and parents from HUMC to volunteer for our Sunday Night Program, Sunday School, and Confirmation this fall. We need Small Group Leaders, Teachers, Games Leaders, Administration, Crowd Control, Media (Sound, Lighting, Computers), Fund-raising, Meals, etc...

.We are having a training event on Sunday, August 21st, 12:30pm-3:00pm. All parents and adults interested in ministering to our youth are invited.

You don't have to "teach" to be involved. Our students need adults who desire to spend time with them or "Share Space". We have a great group of adult leaders, but we need more. We invite you to come and be a difference maker. The more adults we have, the more youth we can reach.

Bring money for lunch. Please contact Rob Morris if you are planning to attend.
