Summer Sundays
are Here!
This is the day that the LORD has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it!.
~~from Psalm 118:24
Greetings Friends!
Ready! Set!! Go!!! In the 1960's Nat King Cole sang
"Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer..." As a child in the 60's and 70's I remember those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer. Crazy not because we were busy, but crazy because we had so much freedom, so much time to explore, so much time to just be kids! There seems to be nothing lazy about summer anymore. People seem to be on the move- GO, GO, GO!
It is into this craziness that we will open our times of summer worship with these words from the Psalmist: "This is the day that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad it!" It is my hope and prayer that these simple words will help ground us in the God of the universe and remind us of the importance of making time for community worship; a time to be together and get refreshed for the GO, GO, GO of summer!!
R
emember- worship times change this week:
- 8:00 am Worship in the Garden Chapel (upper level)

Summers are a great time to invite friends and neighbors to COME and SEE!!
See you in Church or at the Lake!

Pastor Linda
Two sermon series this summer:
- Our first summer series begins this week: There's an APP for That! Whatever we may encounter in life, Jesus is the application, the answer!
- Our second series begins July 12: Chosen! A series based on the letter of Paul to the Ephesisans. God has a plan... for you! Have you considered what this means for your daily life and for us as a Community in Christ? Let's discover it together.

Youth Events & Opportunities
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.
Indicate you are with Hosanna Lutheran Church.

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.
