Updated January 27: 

• Annual Congregational Meeting - Latest Updates  Our annual congregational meeting will take place this Sunday, January 29, beginning at approximately 10:35.  The bulletin of reports are now available electronically.  A livestream of the meeting will be available.  Because they are lengthy, the proposal of constitutional changes to bring our constitution into conformity with the latest updates to the ELCA Model Constitution for Congregation are not included in the annual report, but they are posted online. 

• Sunday Faith Formation - Join us the next month for the following Sunday faith formation activities:

  • Jan. 29 - Annual Meeting + Valentines:  Join us for conversation about our past, present, and future at the annual meeting.  During the meeting, kids will begin making Valentines for Veterans.

  • Feb. 5 - Intergenerational Sunday School + Valentines:  We will finish making valentines and assemble hygiene kits for veterans.   

  • Feb. 12 - Living in Faith Together (LiFT):  Use the discussion and activity guide to dig deeper into the month’s theme at home as families or in small groups.  

• Dr. Dan Accepts New Position  We are so grateful for Dr. Dan and the gifts he has shared with Hosanna! over the past 5 years.  At this time, he has accepted a position at another church that will shorten the 35-minute commute for his family, and provide him with the opportunity to expand the time and opportunities he has to offer his gifts to the church.  Dr. Dan will be with us through Sunday, February 26. Watch for more information to celebrate his ministry with us and bless him and the whole Bruggeman family on this next chapter in their lives.  We will also be convening our Personnel Committee and worship leaders to discuss our vision for music ministry at Hosanna! and interview candidates for that position. 

• Valentines for Vets - Updated!  Each Valentine’s Day we share the love with local veterans by assembling hygiene kits.  Our hope is to assemble 100-150 kits with the following items:

  • •  Toothpaste      •  Dental Floss       •  Deodorant
    •  Bar of soap     •  Combs     •  Granola/protein bars, candies, Tootsie roll pops
    At this time, we have plenty of toothbrushes, so please consider the other items!  Items can be dropped off in the fellowship hall through February 6.  After worship that day, kids and adults will finish making valentines and assemble the kits so that they can be delivered through local veterans’ organizations by Valentine’s day.
