Hosanna was one of NAM's 10 Covenant Congregations who agreed in 1983 to set aside their theological differences and pool their resources in a manner to better serve community needs. In addition to Hosanna, NAM's founding congregations include St. Dunstan's Episcopal Church, Northwoods Presbyterian Church, John Wesley United Methodist Church, Kinsmen Lutheran Church, Hosanna Lutheran Church, Congregation Jewish Community North, Wildewood Baptist Church, Cypress Creek Christian Church, Klein United Methodist Church, and Plymouth United Church (U.C.C.).
NAM's Congregational Advisory Council meets quarterly. Its last meeting was 10-25-10. You can go to NAM's website for additional info, to review data from the 2009 fiscal year, and to learn about volunteer opportunities.
The foods wish list for Thanksgiving is also found on NAM's website. Here are a few wishes: TURKEYS, instant mashed potatoes, canned vegetables and fruits, macaroni and cheese, canned cranberry jelly, jello, pudding and so forth. Food is needed throughout the year, but especially at holiday times. Bring your donations to the food pantry at Hosanna, and they will be delivered to NAM. Thanks for your help.
The holiday toy bags have now arrived at Hosanna. If you are able, please take a bag, and purchase suggested items for the age/sex of the child listed on the outside of the bag. Put your unwrapped gifts inside the bag, and return it to Hosanna no later than 12-5-10 to allow time for NAM to sort and distribute to the needy. The goal this year is to provide toys for 3000 children.Submitted by Lois Heckart, Care Team Member
