• VBS Volunteers and Decorations Needed   HOSANNA! is excited to present a FREE 3-day VBS from 5 pm to 8 pm on July 9-11. We will start with dinner and an opening assembly each night. Then, we'll begin our fun as we explore Camp Firelight. We will wrap up our VBS with our worship service on Sunday, July 13th, where we will share with the congregation what we learned, along with some camp songs. 
  We need several adult volunteers for the following lead positions: Science, Recreation, Music, Dinner, Crafts, and Lessons. All lead positions have a script to follow, and readings/projects/activities will be provided to you. We will also need a teen volunteer for each youth section to be our Camp Counselors to help stay energized and to lead them to their sessions. Many hands make light work, and we'll need all your hands! If you are interested in volunteering or learning more about VBS, please contact Chris Marple at chrismmarple@gmail.com. During our VBS, John Kreidler will lead an adult bible study during each VBS session. 
  We will also need some camp/outdoor-themed decorations. We could use items such as a kayak, small tents, sleeping bags, lanterns, or anything you can think of that would be fun to bring in for decorations. 
  Register your campers (ages 5-12) today! Please think about bringing your grandkids, nieces and nephews, neighbors, and anyone looking for a great time this summer! The registration is open now! https://tinyurl.com/H-VBS-25

• Earn 5% for Hosanna! When Dining Local  Hosanna! has received a lot of funding for ministry by members purchasing and using RaiseRight gift cards.  A new feature allows you to support Hosanna! when you eat at select local restaurants--without gift cards.  Here's how:  

  1. Tap the Local Dining icon in the bottom navigation menu of the RaiseRight app and follow the instructions to link a credit or debit card specifically for local dining.  

  2. Search for participating local restaurants in the app.  Nearby participants include Minsky’s, Sorella’s, 54th Street Grill, Tropical Smoothie, Pizza Shoppe, and many more.

  3. Pay with your linked card at the listed restaurants.  No gift card or use of the app is needed.

  4. You pay the same amount, but Hosanna! automatically receives a donation equal to 5% of your bill.
