• First Communion Invitation  Each year, we provide opportunities for children who aren’t communing to learn about this special meal and to receive their First Communion.  If your child would like to participate this spring, please speak with Pastor Mike or e-mail pastormike@hosannalutheranchurch.org by Easter Sunday.  
  Hosanna! does not have an age requirement for First Communion, but rather entrusts children and families to know when the time is right for them.  If you would like help determining if that time is now, speak with Pastor Mike.

Please place the items in the red wagon by the fellowship doors. Thank you for your continued support.

• Earn 5% for Hosanna! When Dining Local  Hosanna! has received a lot of funding for ministry by members purchasing and using RaiseRight gift cards.  A new feature allows you to support Hosanna! when you eat at select local restaurants--without gift cards.  Here's how:  

1. Tap the Local Dining icon in the bottom navigation menu of the RaiseRight app and follow the instructions to link a credit or debit card specifically for local dining.  

2. Search for participating local restaurants in the app.  Nearby participants include Minsky’s, Sorella’s, 54th Street Grill, Tropical Smoothie, Pizza Shoppe, and many more.

3. Pay with your linked card at the listed restaurants.  No gift card or use of the app is needed.

4. You pay the same amount, but Hosanna! automatically receives a donation equal to 5% of your bill.
