OTHER NEWS:
- DID YOU KNOW . . . Hosanna has a Card Ministry? The purpose of this outreach ministry is to spread a little of God’s love to those in need of spiritual,
emotional or medical uplifting. Upon request, Shirley Larson will send a card to those in need of support for any reason. It’s easy to get involved:
A.) Contact Shirley or the church office the name, address and reason for the card
B.) Donate postage stamps
C.) Make or donate cards appropriate for this ministry, i.e. Thank you, Birthday, Anniversary, Get Well, Miss You, Word of Encouragement, Etc.
- PRESCHOOL: We celebrated our Let's Pretend Party in both classes. It was so fun to see the children in their costumes and collect candy. You can feel the
excitement in the air the minute the children arrived at school. the children sang "Here is the Church" for their parents during the party. Our Bible Story this
week was David being anointed as the next King. The parents got to hear that story, too! The children played their "color" game with "Where is (name the color)
Bat." They love to fly their paper bat back to the teacher when their color is called.
- MISSIONS: In our Mission Focus of goats, in addition to supplying milk for families and especially growing children as well as selling goats for income or giving to
families in need as their herds grow, Samaritan’s Purse tells us that as their teams offer training and basic veterinary care, they build relationships so they can
tell them how they can have eternal life in Jesus Christ. This would appear to be the most important aspect of the entire goat project. Remember the price of a
goat is $70.00. Seems like a small amount to spread the Word of God. Remember to indicate your contribution on the front of your weekly offering envelope
under “Missions”. And don’t forget the donation box located as you leave the Sanctuary. The dollars and cents you contribute really add up! The King will reply, I
tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of Mine, you did for me. Matt. 25:40
- Reader’s Schedule for 2017: If you are interested in being a reader please contact Howard Chavalia. The schedule can accommodate as many people as are
willing to read. The more we have, the less often one is needed. You may make your intentions known by leaving a note in Howard's mailbox, calling him at
440-610-0556, or email hchavalia1@gmail.com. Thank you to those who are currently serving as a reader, your willingness to read is greatly appreciated.
- 2017 Summer - Fall ***ADOPT-A-SPOT*** In an effort to keep Hosanna’s grounds maintained we thought it best to split up the duties. So, pick a spot
and a time that you would like to tend to that fits into your schedule, it’s that simple. Sign-up sheet in the Narthex. Thank you! As each one has received a gift,
minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. - 1 Peter 4:10

- Harp has been contacted by the Synod and Flood buckets are needed in Missouri - if you can donate flood buckets or monetary donations, contact HARP at:
740-509-1132 asap - gift cards can also be used - pray for the thousands of families flooded throughout the Midwest and Ohio.
- In about three weeks HARP will be starting our annual school supplies drive for Inez Kentucky, but since ads are already popping up it's not too early to find
some bargains. Please keep the kids in mind.
- USED EYE GLASSES: Recently, Kevin Barnard took lots of used glasses to Cuyahoga County College and left them for the Optical Program Director. The used
eye glasses will be put to use by students in the Optical Program and then sent to other countries for distribution to the needy. Once at their destination it is
reported that people travel long distances on foot there they will get a basic eye exam and will be fitted with the “new” eye glasses. It has also been reported that
many of the people receiving these eye glasses are seen in tears of joy because they have been unable to see for so many years. So folks, keep those old eye
glasses coming and place them in the container provided by the mailboxes.
- Touch a life… Become a HOSPICE VOLUNTEER. Hospice is a philosophy of care, not a place. We care for our patients wherever they call home. As a vital part
of our team volunteers come from all walks of life, and have a variety of skills, talents and abilities. Opportunities to serve are diverse: visit patients and families
to provide companionship, socialization, and comfort, help with legacy work, transportation, light housework, meal preparation, run errands, make phone calls,
help with clerical work, attend health fairs, make a presentation. Volunteers with specialized professional qualifications and training are also needed: attorneys,
licensed hair dressers, massotherapists, pet therapy dogs and their handlers. Volunteer education is held frequently throughout northern Ohio. Teen and most
volunteers not having contact with patients take 4 hours of training while patient care volunteers have 16 hours. Visit us at http://www.hospicewr.org for more
information or call us 216.255-9090.

OLD CELL PHONES
Don’t know what to do with those old cell phones? Bring them in and place them in the box provided on the shelf across from the mailboxes. They will be used by Cornerstone Among Women in their fantastic Resale Shop. |
STEWARDSHIP CORNER
By God’s grace, we are given the high honor of being God’s stewards. Being Christian stewards involves the way we view life and use God’s blessings. A steward is someone who takes care of another person’s property for the benefit of the owner. In Genesis chapter one, God makes mankind the steward over all He has made. “And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens…” (Verse 26). He has given us, along with other Christians, the responsibility of taking care of His property. Our purpose as stewards is again stated in the second chapter of Genesis. “The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and keep it” (Genesis 2:15). We are the managers and caretakers of God’s creation. |
FLOOD BUCKETS - SUPPLIES NEEDED
