Church guide

Christmas is coming soon to Hosanna! “Christmas in July” VBS begins Sunday evening at 6 pm We’re decking the halls with boughs of holly. We’re making our lists and checking them twice. Are you ready? 🙂

God doesn't wait till December to give good gifts to us!... especially the gift of himself. That's why we're celebrating his birth in July at the incredible Hosanna VBS next week! The Christmas celebration begins this Sunday at 6 pm and continues every night through Thursday. Ho! Ho! Ho!

Christmas in July? For sure! Hosanna’s one-of-a-kind, four-seasons VBS begins this Sunday! We’ll all be rockin’ around the Christmas tree...

VBS... Christmas in July... is only days away! Have you registered or volunteered? See you Sunday at 6!

Worship set for July 7: - Another in the Fire - Good, Good Father - The Rock Won't Move - Lord, I Need You ----------- - Savior Called - Holy, Holy, Holy - Heaven

So would we! Come as you are... God loves you and we will too. And maybe we’ll all get a bit less messy in the process. 🙂

That much!

Hosannans, we need your help! It’s nearly time for Christmas in July... which means it’s nearly time for Vacation Bible School! May we borrow some of your Christmas decorations to make the place look all Christmas-y? We need all the usual stuff... ornaments, garland, stocking, wrapping paper, etc. And we need it by Sunday, if at all possible, so our elves can get the place looking good in time for VBS. Be sure to put your name on anything you want back! Thank you!

Know someone who might be interesting in renting a portion of Hosanna's building for a single happening, a recurring (weekly or monthly) event, or even on an ongoing basis (e.g. office space)? We do rent (particularly our fellowship hall and kitchen) at fair prices to individuals and groups with activities congenial to our mission. Call the church office at 717-626-2560 or email to [email protected] to discuss options. Feel free to forward this to others who might be interested.

The Heavenly Hearts Choir blessed us this morning with two enthusiastic songs!

This is a scene of our friend Penka Atanasov, from our sister church in Kurdjli, handing out Christmas gift boxes... created through your donations!... to children in the one of the villages in southern Bulgaria.

From Jo Ann Kunz's message for 2 September 2018: "A Jubilee Life: The Prayer-Filled Life", and adapted from Dallas Willard We invite you to pray in a way that is true to the stream of the prayer-filled life… Not involving reflection with the head, but listening with the heart. Spend a few moments with this video and pray along with the words.

Join us as we wonder together, "What Child Is This?" Christmas candlelight services on Friday, December 22, and Sunday, December 24, at 6:30 PM.

Our VBS kids collected and donated items for Peter's Porch. This young man agreed to take a pie in the face for every 100 items collected.

It isn't hot in the furnace, man... :)

A short but powerful audio clip for you!... Who are we in Christ? This morning, Jo Ann pointed out what the Bible says about who we are.
