YOUR VOICE MATTERS!

Hosanna small groups continue to meet together to pray, study scripture, and converse about the purpose of our congregation in carrying out God's mission in the world. It's a big question, and the most important one we can ask about our future together as a church. We want to hear your voice as this process continues. If you have not yet been part of a small group, please contact us (or just show up!) and join one of these:

           At Hosanna on Sundays, 11:30am-1:30pm, with a light lunch served:
                     June 19  / June 26 / July 10 / July 17
           At the Waldo's home, on Sunday, June 26, 6:30pm

Lord of Humanity. you have formed us in your own image. You have called us to be your people so that your dreams could be ours as well. Help us to see your purpose for our lives, and give us a common sense of purpose as your church in this place. We ask you now, what is it that we should be more concerned with? How may we help you complete your dream?

Nancy Agafitei, Council President

SERVING IN THE COMMUNITY

Pastor John and members of the Hosanna Church Council served lunch to more than 100 volunteer builders at the Hamill Ranch Habitat for Humanity site on June 11. Habitat is a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing organization building simple, decent, affordable housing in partnership with people in need. You can get involved by organizing a group to serve lunch, volunteering to help with the actual building (carpentry, painting, nailing shingles, etc.) or donating to support the work. Hosanna donations have helped to sponsor the house where the council is standing. It will be dedicated today, June 18, and the new residents will soon move in.
