Updated October 23:

• Trunk or Treat ~ Saturday, October 25th   Join us for fun and frolic, ghosts and goblins, food and fellowship! This year Hosanna! will be combing our Trunk with the daycare and will be having chili, hot dogs, and all the fixings. There will be a bounce house, activities and games and more on our parking lot beginning at 4pm until 6pm.
  Please sign up here or on the bulletin board to let us know if you will be attending and if you will provide a trunk. Watch for more information as we get closer to Halloween. For questions or more information, see Bonny Grauerholz.

• October 26 is Reformation Sunday!  Each year near October 31, we commemorate Reformation Day, when Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the church door in Wittenburg, Germany, kicking off the Protestant Reformation.  Martin never meant to split the church, but posted 95 thesis statements that he’d like to debate about the practices of the church, and how it has strayed from the grace and love of Jesus, so that is might be renewed and relevant to daily life. Red is the traditional color of the Reformation, so we invite you to wear red on Sunday, October 26 as a sign that you love the church and believe the Spirit is moving among us.

• Sunday Faith Formation Continues   Grow in faith by joining us for these activities after worship in the coming weeks:

  • October 26:  Intergenerational service project.  We will travel to the Oxford Grand assisted living facility off Shoal Creek Parkway to entertain, interview, and visit with the residents.  Hosanna! member Don Baken and Pastor Mike’s dad (Wally) both live there. 

  • November 2:  Kid’s crews, confirmation, and adult study.

• Kid Swap Fundraiser Up through Trunk or Treat   Our tables with kids’ toys and books will be around through Trunk or Treat this Saturday, Oct. 25 where you can “shop” for new-to-you kids’ items and make a donation to the God Squad for the 2027 Youth Gathering.  Leftover items will be donated to the local Hillcrest Hope thrift store.  Thanks for supporting the God Squad!

• We Recognize All Saints on November 2   Trusting that God’s love endures forever, we observe All Saints Day to acknowledge our grief over loved ones who have died in the past year, proclaim our sure hope in God’s triumph over death, and entrust our loved ones and ourselves into God’s care.  We invite you to submit the names of family and friends who have died since November 1, 2024 so that we might include them in the Litany of the Saints on Nov. 2 this year.  You may add their name and relation to you on the sheet in the fellowship hall or online at https://hosannaliberty.breezechms.com/form/saints25. 

• Chiefs Tailgate and Watch Party at Hosanna! Nov. 2  Hosanna! and Thrivent Financial are hosting a Chief’s tailgate and watch party in Hosanna’s parking lot the afternoon of Sunday, Nov. 2.  They will provide the pulled pork, TV and canopies, you bring your lawn chairs and sides to share (if you last name begins with  A-L, bring a savory side dish,  M-Z, bring dessert). Also bring yard/tailgate games if you have them and join us for a fun time and cheer on the Chiefs as they take on the Buffalo Bills. Game begins at 3:25.  The event is open to the community and there is no cost to attend.
