Updated May 15:

• Final Sunday of Faith Formation this Spring   This Sunday, May 18 is the final week of faith formation after worship before we take a summer break.  The kids’ crews will meet in the choir room. 

• Confirmation this Sunday   We’re excited to announce that Genevieve Grote, Allie Heil, and Rosalyn Rockhold will publicly affirm their faith during worship this Sunday, May 18.  They will share their faith during the sermon time.  Then, we’ll declare the faith we share, recognize their maturity, name the ways God is working in their lives, and offer blessing upon these young women.  After worship, we’ll honor them with a cake reception.  Members are invited to shower them with cards that contain affirmation, blessing, and encouragement.  Blank note cards will also be available in the fellowship hall. 

• Save the Date for Christian Singer/Speaker Rachel Kurtz   Inspirational Christian singer Rachel Kurtz will be with us June 21 and 22.  She will lead a Saturday morning parent workshop, afternoon youth retreat for middle and high school youth of Hosanna! and surrounding congregations, and an evening concert open to the entire community.  Rachel will also offer music and inspiration during worship on Sunday morning. 

• 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
