• Hosanna! Day Festivities on Palm Sunday, April 13  For our congregation, Palm Sunday is a day to celebrate God’s majesty, goodness, and self-giving love AND it’s a day to remember who we are, celebrate life together, and give back.  Make plans now to join us for this annual celebration featuring fun activities for all!

• Show Off Your Creative Side with a Peep Diorama  Enter Hosanna’s Peep Diorama competition!  What’s that?  It’s the most fun and exciting way to tell a Bible story.  Buy a bunch of Peeps (chicks, bunnies, or whatever you want) and arrange them to tell a favorite Bible passage.  Bring your creation back by Hosanna! Day (April 13) and we’ll vote on the best-looking diorama (in both kid and adult divisions).  Complete instructions and pictures from our past competitions are available in the fellowship hall and by download at www.hosannatogether.org/peeps.

• Looking Ahead to Holy Week   Holy Week is a special time to remember all that God has done for us and to walk with Jesus through celebration, intimate gatherings, the cross, and resurrection. 

  • Palm Sunday, April 13 at 9:30am

  • Maundy Thursday, April 17 at 7:00pm
