GLOBAL MISSION EVENT IN SAN ANTONIO, SEPT. 23-24

San Antonio is a great city to visit. Need a great excuse to spend a weekend there? Check out this video of the Global Mission Event happening there in September. Why not go and bring back local and global ideas for Hosanna?

LET'S TAKE THE BUS !!

Have you been on a bus lately? NO. Not the County bus that takes care of our senior trippers. NO. Not the Greyhound or charter bus that takes folks to Louisiana to gamble a little, party a little -- ya' know, sinful fun! How about the Metro bus?

WOW ---

Can you imagine? All of our cities offer public transportation and we are grateful for that. Without it, many would be in a world of hurt. It's not easy or fun to take a Metro bus,especially in inclement weather when you have to change buses, and when maybe the next one on your route will be another 20 or 30 minutes in coming. Not every bus stop has a shelter. In fact, few do. But once again...

                                                      WOW ---

What a beautiful contribution Hosanna has made to our community in this gift of a bus shelter. We can only imagine the grateful hearts.

Thanks Daniel and workers and donors!

LAST CHANCES TO CONVERSE ABOUT HOSANNA'S PURPOSE IN A SMALL GROUP

Obviously, I hope that conversations about God's purpose for Hosanna are going on everywhere in the church, in the homes of Hosanna's people, or in restaurants or wherever members are gathering.

But if you haven't been part of one of the "official" small groups yet, your chances are disappearing. Only three more official groups are scheduled before the Mission Focus team begins summarizing the results of our discussions. Here are the options:
                  At Hosanna on Sunday, July 10, 11:30am, with lunch and a nursery provided for small children
                  At Hosanna on Sunday, July 17, 11:30am, with lunch
                  At the home of J ean and Branch Waldo, Sunday, July 17, 6:30pm, dinner provided

Because of the materials and foodneeded for the groups, it really helps if you can notify us in advance if you can be there by e-mail (click here). However, if a last minute impulse grabs you, just come anyway. We really want to hear from you.

I am feeling some really important messages coming from these groups, and I am confident that they will make a difference for our church life together as we go forward.
