The following is a copy of the letter to Hosanna's congregation from Kevin Barnard:
May 15, 2022
I am writing all current and past members of Hosanna to share important information. It is my goal to be a reliable source and to avoid any miscommunication that could develop. Please call me directly if you have any questions or would like to share any of your thoughts.
To begin, I need to inform the congregational members who are not active that Pastor Renner has accepted a Divine Call to relocate and serve as an Associate Pastor at St. Mark’s Lutheran Church in Janesville, Wisconsin. Please pray for Pastor Renner and his family as they transition to St. Mark’s.
Hosanna’s current leadership team is committed to Hosanna’s mission and legacy. With significant guidance from the Lord, Hosanna’s vacancy will be filled with the support of Ascension Lutheran Church, North Olmsted and their Pastor, Joshua Ulm. This appears to be a great opportunity for Hosanna to continue to serve the Columbia community and to offer Hosanna’s parishioners worship and Pastoral care from an Ordained Lutheran Minister. I have enclosed a letter to Hosanna from Pastor Ulm for you to review. Pastor Ulm’s contact information is included if you need to contact him directly.
One significant change to worship at Hosanna will be the worship start time of 12:00- noon with Bible study immediately afterward. The new worship time change will start next week, May 22, 2022. The time change is intentional as it will allow Pastor Ulm to lead service in North Olmsted and then travel to Hosanna and lead us here. We believe a later start will also benefit members who work night shift or are mobility challenged. I am truly optimistic that this will have positive results at Hosanna.
To sum things up, there are a lot of significant changes at Hosanna. Many of the changes are helping Hosanna to “RE-BOOT” or “RESET” in a healthy way. Hosanna has a new administrative team, new Pastoral Leadership, and many new fellowship activities designed to help us as Christians support each other. Hosanna’s leaders are committed to eliminating many of the past distractions and getting back to this Church’s Mission and focus on Jesus!
Please consider worshipping the Risen Lord with us in-person at Hosanna.
Peace,
Kevin D. Barnard

Dear Saints of Hosanna,
Grace and Peace to you from our Risen Lord!
I am beyond excited to be serving you during your pastoral vacancy. It is a true joy to do work in the Lord’s Kingdom, especially at the time of Easter, and I eagerly anticipate sharing this Easter joy with you. I bring you greetings from the saints of Ascension Lutheran Church in North Olmsted, where I have been serving for nearly four years. We look forward to walking together as partners in mission.
I am looking forward to getting to know you better in the coming weeks, but for now I’ll introduce my family to you. The Lord has blessed my wife Mary and I with Hannah (7), Joseph (5), Bethany (3), and Abraham (3 months). Mary and I met in 2010 as prospective students at Concordia University- Ann Arbor, and married in 2013, a few weeks after I graduated with my Family Life-Church Work degree. Following Hannah’s birth in 2014 we moved to St. Louis for Seminary, and after a stop in Pittsburgh for vicarage in 2016-17, God called me to serve at Ascension in 2018. My favorite part of ministry is studying the Bible, both in preparation for sermons and together during Bible study. I look forward to sharing this with the people of Hosanna. I also wait with great excitement to see what opportunities God will allow for our two congregations to serve our communities together.
As your elders will communicate, during this time of vacancy, services will take place at Noon at Hosanna, followed by Bible Study at 1pm (with a light lunch).
While I serve as vacancy pastor, my door is open to you. You may contact me at 330-419-2720 or via email at pastorulmascension@gmail.com.
Grace and Peace in Christ,
Pastor Ulm
