Preview "This Week at Hosanna" for more news updates: http://www.welcometohosanna.com/weekly_news.pdf

Note: You're not seeing things... the format of "This Week has been changed to a single 8 1/2" X 14" double-sided sheet! This saves Hosanna possible extra charges of exceeding the number copies on our copier/printer lease. It's not because anyone's gotten lazy.

Finally... DON'T FORGET TO SET YOUR CLOCKS BACK 1 HOUR SATURDAY NIGHT BEFORE RETIRING. DAYLIGHT SAVINGS ENDS THIS WEEKEND!

A LITTLE HUMOR:

A Sunday school teacher asked, "Johnny, do you think Noah did a lot of fishing when he was on the Ark?" "No," replied David. "How could he, with just two worms?"

A Sunday school teacher said to her children, " We have been learning how powerful kings and queens were in Bible times. But, there is a higher power. Can anybody tell me what it is?" One child blurted out, "Aces!"

Nine-year-old Joey, was asked by his mother what he had learned in Sunday school. "Well, Mom, our teacher told us how God sent Moses behind enemy lines on a rescue mission to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. When he got to the Red Sea, he had his army build a pontoon bridge and all the people walked across safely. Then, he radioed headquarters for reinforcements. They sent bombers to blow up the bridge and all the Israelites were saved." "Now, Joey, is that really what your teacher taught you?" his mother asked. "Well, no, Mom. But, if I told it the way the teacher did, you'd never believe it!"

Pray for all the sick and grieving. Continue to pray for an end to the escalating violence in the Middle East. Pray, too, for the Rohlas, especially Debbie, whose father, I just learned late this morning, passed away.
