• The Real Birds Were Really Hungry
  In spite of our recording to ward off birds in our vineyard, a flock devoured all of our grapes before they were ripe.  We’re disappointed, but we do have plenty Communion wine from last year’s harvest to last us through the next year. Thank you so much to Mike for his continued hard work tending the vineyard.  

• Hosanna! Vegetable Garden
  Produce continues growing in Hosanna’s veggie garden! We've been donating peppers, cucumbers, and tomatoes to the In As Much Ministry food pantry to provide fresh produce to our neighbors facing food insecurity.
