This Sunday, we will continue our worship series "God in the Dark." Our focus this week is on forgiveness and resilience – have we ever needed resilience more than we do in this time? Resilience is the ability to bounce back after difficult events. It is a dynamic process – we are constantly learning how to positively adapt when we are met with adversity. This involves our whole selves – physical, psychological, social and spiritual.

We worship at 9:30am on Sunday! You can also find our livestream and past service recordings at https://www.htumc.org/sermons/

The missions we are focusing on for the third quarter coordinate with the I-Team focus "Let's Think Differently” which includes differently-abled, memory loss, neurodiversity and mental health. All donations collected throughout the months of July-September will be divided equally among the following three missions: Sleep in Heavenly Peace, See Me Neurodiverse and NAMI Minnesota.

This Sunday, we continue our worship series "God in the Dark" which focuses on mental health. This week we are going to talk about boundaries, emotional triggers, and self-control. And grace. Because we are in the business of grace. We have been using the story of Joseph as our guide which is ultimately a story of resilience, and a story that tells us much about the character of God.

This Sunday, we continue our worship series "God in the Dark" which focuses on mental health. This week we are going to talk about depression, waiting, and just plain exhaustion. We will consider how the uncertainty and pace of life can keep us from the spiritual and emotional wellbeing that God desires for us, using the story of Joseph as our guide. It is ultimately a story of resilience, and a story that tells us much about the character of God.
