Hosanna Cyberline - October 6,.2006

The Peace of the Lord be you all this Friday,

First of all, I would like to appologize for last week's email Cyberline. Georgia, Garrett and I flew to Minneapolis/St.Paul last Wednesday to spend some time with my son Jim, whose birthday was September 30. Thursday morning I sat down to compose the Cyberline on his computer. For some reason all the paragraph returns disappeared from the message and it ended up looking like one long run-on sentence. This week I'm starting from scratch instead of using an earlier draft copy.

First, here is the link to "This Week at Hosanna" for October 8 to give you a jump start on what's happening next week: http://www.welcometohosanna.com/weekly_news.pdf

Here's the link to the October Hotline: http://www.welcometohosanna.com/monthly_news.pdf

Monday, October 16 is the deadline for submitting articles and commentaries for the November Hotline..

Please make it a regular routine to read the Hosanna Blog: http://welcometohosanna.blogspot.com/

You will see a couple short messages by Amber Walker on the CREW garage sale and the Pumpkin Patch fundraiser. While we're on the subject: close to Halloween last year Hosanna had the only supply of pumpkins in the area. All the grocery stores had sold out by that time.Tell everyone you know that we will have a good supply. The goal for the Garage sale is to raise $4,000. Donations can be brought to Classroom 1. All other rooms have scheduled activities.

Following Amber's messages is a letter passed on to us by Pastor Rob Moore, assistant to the Bishop of the Texas-LA Gulf Coast Synod. The letter, from Carl Hilt, member of Lutheran Church of the Galilean in LaPlace, LA, highlights continuing needs in the New Orleans area for school supplies. Please read it and consider lending a hand. I suggest that everyone drop off donations at the panty in the North Narthex area (not the NAM pantry) and we will contact Pastor Moore to have them picked up.

After that there are articles entitled, "CREW Garage Sale Information," "Housekeeping" and "Synod Questions of October."

Other News: Don't forget to sign up for the annual excursion to Wurstfest in New Braunfels on Saturday, November 4. The group will leave from the Hosanna parking lot at 8 AM.

Adult Education on Sunday morning @ 9:30: Second session on the life of Martin Luther. Amongst other things the discussion will cover Luther's 95 Theses. You will learn why Luther chose to post them on October 31 (Halloween or All Hallows Eve). If you can't come Sunday, the series will be repeated over the next few weeks at the Wednesday Morning Bible Study @ 10 AM.

Also this Sunday: Hosanna's annual Mission and Ministry Fair. Before or after worship, come to classrooms 5/8. Get involved and find a new passion for a ministy.

Become a Thrivent Financial for Lutherans member... only $10 per year. It benefits both you and Hosanna.Stop by for coffee on Sunday, October 22 and talk to Val Islam and Jim Meszaros, Hosanna's Thrivent representative.

Those are the highlights for this coming week; now the fun part:
