The concert includes worship and Ben’s message about life’s challenges and setting meaningful priorities. The Hastings United Methodist Church Concert Series committee describes the concert as having the potential to be a life-changing event.
Many of you undoubtedly remember Ben, a former member of HUMC, and his father Jeff Utecht, who was pastor of HUMC for many years. After Ben graduated from HHS in 1999, he went on to be 2003 Golden Gopher team captain and 2006 Super Bowl XLI Champion with the Indianapolis Colts. Utecht, now removed from his NFL career as a tight end due to traumatic brain injuries from multiple concussions, Ben has redefined himself again through pursuing another dream: becoming a successful artist in the world of music.
NFL coach Tony Dungy said this about Ben, “Ben Utecht is a talented football player. He started at tight end for my team, the Indianapolis Colts, in Super Bowl XLI and helped us beat the Chicago Bears,” says Dungy. “However, I always thought his real impact would be in music. Ben has a tremendous voice and a passion for music. I believe God is going to use his musical gift in a special way.”
Ben Utecht achieved football’s highest honor when his team the 2006 Indianapolis Colts won Super Bowl XLI.
Utecht just released his debut solo Album “Man Up” which is sure to impress. Utecht co-wrote an original song on his new solo album entitled “You Will Always Be My Girls” which deals with the fears of losing his family to brain disease.
Along with singing, Utecht is an established keynote speaker, author, actor, and national spokesperson for the American Brain Foundation, the foundation of the American Academy Of Neurology.
As a national spokesperson, advocate, and author for brain health, Utecht has made music and speaking his full-time job.
Join us on February 13th, to see Ben, listen to his music and be moved by his inspirational message.

The Power of a Simple Prayer
2015-01-06 - 2015-01-27
Before Amen: The Power of a Simple Prayer
Classes are Tuesday evenings in January – January 6, 13, 20 & 27 from 7 to 8 pm with Dessert starting @ 6:45
We all pray…some.
We pray to stay sober, centered, or solvent. When the lump is deemed malignant. When the money runs out before the month does. When the marriage is falling apart. We pray. But wouldn’t we like to pray more? Better? Stronger? With more fire, faith, and fervency? Yet we have kids to feed, bills to pay, deadlines to meet. The calendar pounces on our good intentions like a tiger on a rabbit. And what about our checkered history with prayer? Uncertain words. Unmet expectations. Unanswered requests.
We aren’t the first to struggle with prayer. The first followers of Jesus needed prayer guidance too. In fact, prayer is the only tutorial they ever requested.
And Jesus gave them a prayer. Not a lecture on prayer. Not the doctrine of prayer. He gave them a quotable, repeatable, portable prayer. Couldn’t we use the same?
In Before Amen bestselling author Max Lucado joins listeners on a journey to the very heart of biblical prayer, offering hope for doubts and confidence even for prayer wimps. Distilling prayers in the Bible down to one pocket-sized prayer, Max reminds listeners that prayer is not a privilege for the pious nor the art of a chosen few. Prayer is simply a heartfelt conversation between God and his child.
Let the conversation begin.

Jesus: Myth, Madman or Messiah
2015-01-04 - 2015-02-01
Presented From:
Jan 4th, 2015 to Feb 1st, 2015

Is there any evidence that Jesus existed? Aren’t his miracles the fabrications of the early church? Did he die a disillusioned zealot? How does his death “save” anyone?
No one has had a greater impact upon history,yet Jesus remains an enigma. Conservatives and liberals each make Jesus into their own image. Meanwhile skeptics question whether he ever lived. Christianity affirms that he was the divine Son of God. Others believe he was merely a man. And, many still have questions.
If you’ve ever had questions or doubts about Jesus of Nazareth, join us beginning January 4th. For five weeks we will consider the claims of early Christians, listen to the questions raised by earnest skeptics, and seek to understand who the Jesus of history really was.
January 4th – Searching for he “Historical” Jesus
January 11th – The Humanity of Jesus
January 18th – Did Jesus Really Say That?
January 25th – The Meaning of Christ’s Death
February 1st – Who Do You Say that I Am?
