Inside Out

 
For everthing there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven...
a time to weep, and a time to laugh...
                              Ecclesiastes 3:1,4



Greetings Friends!

A movie with a message. Have you seen Disney Pixar's "Inside Out"? I have- and it is wonderful!! I don't think the following is a spoiler alert- but consider seeing the movie before you read on...

 

Do you remember what it was like to be 11 years old? Here's a hint: it was not easy; growing up never is.Riley (Kaitlyn Dias) is a happy, hockey-loving 11-year-old Midwestern girl, but her world turns upside-down when she and her parents move to San Francisco. Riley's emotions -- led by Joy (Amy Poehler) -- try to guide her through this difficult, life-changing event. However, the stress of the move brings Sadness (Phyllis Smith) to the forefront. When Joy and Sadness are inadvertently swept into the far reaches of Riley's mind, the only emotions left in Headquarters are Anger, Fear and Disgust.

 

Inside Out teaches a good lesson on the importance of acknowledging all emotions, even the not-so-fun ones. Eventually even Joy comes to realize the important role Sadness has to play in Riley's emotional makeup. Our Christian faith reminds us that there is a season and a time for every matter under heaven- a time to weep and a time to laugh!


Here is a fun trailer to preview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=seMwpP0yeu4


See you in Church - or at the movies!

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

Adult Bible Study 

Every TUESDAY 9:30-11:00 am
