Happy Birthday Hosanna!
On November 16, 1976, 210 people signed a petition to charter and elected the first council of Hosanna Lutheran Church. The people of Hosanna embarked on a new task that would require commitment of time, talent and income sharing, with the goals of sharing God’s word and serving others.

A LITTLE MILITARY HUMOR IN HONOR OF VETERANS DAY:

Having just moved into his new office, a newly promoted colonel was sitting at his desk when a corporal knocked on the door.
Conscious of his new position, the colonel quickly picked up the phone, told the corporal to enter, then said into the phone, "Yes, General, I'll be seeing him this afternoon and I'll pass along your message. In the meantime, thank you for your good wishes, sir."Feeling as though he had sufficiently impressed the young corporal, he asked, "What do you want?""Nothing important, sir," the corporal replied, "I'm just here to hook up your telephone."
