NEW x2!!
And remember, I am with you always until the end of time.
~~from Matthew 28
Greetings Friends!
Two new (or renewed) happenings happening at Hosanna!
First- on Sunday, May 31st we will be recognizing all our graduates and honoring our high school graduates. This is nothing new for Hosanna, however we are now naming this as a Milestone Moment. What's a Milestone Moment? A milestone is a meaningful, memorable moment in the lives of individuals and communities. Faith Milestones provide a marker along life's journey that says, "This is something important, and God is here, too!" On Sunday we will recognize and celebrate all graduates. We will call forward our high school graduates and their families for a Milestone Blessing. These graduates will also receive a gift prepared for them from the congregation. Second, on Mondays beginning June 1st you are invited to join me at Keys' Caf? in Forest Lake from 7-8am for BREW- and it's NEW! What's BREW?
- B- Be still and Be together
- R- Receive God's love
- E- Embrace the Word and the world
- W- Welcome the day- and the week- and each other!
Grab a cup of coffee or order a yummy breakfast- all are welcome! Together we will take time to reflect on Sunday's message and how we will live the Word out in the world. Come as you are able- leave early if you must!
Let the Spirit come! See you in church!
~
Pastor Linda
PS- A special THANKS to the many hands who helped prepare the Milestone gifts for our kids; you know who you are, including the 7
th and 8
th grade confirmation students!!

SUMMER OPPORTUNITIES
Luther Dell Camp - July 19-24
Cost $390
* Youth Camp (have completed grades 4-8) It's more than a just a drive down a 5-mile dirt road...so much more than a lake, a campfire, and a carpetball table. It's a place to be a kid and be with friends. It's a place to open your eyes and look for Jesus all around you. It's a place to be washed over with wonder when you take a break from sprinting around the game fields and slow down long enough to catch a glimpse of God with your heart. Join us for a week where you and your friends can grow together as friends and in faith. We are a relational program that spends time getting to know each camper. We have a week-long competition called Luther Dell Olympics and play an all-camp game during the evening. By the end of the week, you won't want to leave!
* Roots Camp (have completed grades 9-12) As senior high students, you are facing the challenges of high school and preparing for what is next in your lives. This is your chance to explore where your heart is rooted. The Roots program is designed to give you opportunity to grow in faith through leading worship, service to camp and service to the local community and is full of games, food, and beautiful sunsets. Camp is a great place to grow in your faith.

Senior Adult Ministry (SAM)
Hosanna's Senior Adult Ministry (SAM) is a monthly gathering of mature folks who enjoy socializing with fun, interesting people and sharing a meal together. We typically meet on the first
Thursday of the month (unless it falls on a holiday, then we meet a week later) for lunch. We alternate the location - one month at an area restaurant and the following month at church. Our primary goal is to enjoy each other's company, laugh and establish enduring friendships.

They include Nate Crary's introduction of how the project evolved and pictures of Barbara Johansen's original artwork and her descriptions of each painting. Your free-will donation will help fund the purchase of a permanent wall hanging system for displays and artwork at Hosanna.
