Welcome HOME!
Jesus said, "For I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me in."
~~from Matthew 25
Greetings Friends!
What do you think of when you think of HOME? For most of us HOME represents a warm, safe and welcoming place. Now consider being HOME-LESS. You may not see homelessness in the Forest Lake Area, but it does exist. According to Carolyn Latady, District 831 Family Support Advocate, approximately 50 kids were identified as homeless this last school year- many went unidentified.
Forest Lake Area Missions for Families (FLAMF) is a partnership between area churches formed to help families experiencing homelessness. They have recently partnered with the Community Resource Center (CRC), a ministry of St. Andrew's Lutheran Church in Mahtomedi, to create an action plan. The first step is to secure a property to use as a home for families in need. The shelter will be called Haven Home and it will service north Washington County. You will be hearing more about this in the coming months. To learn more about the Community Resource Center and their model for helping: Click HERE or take a look at their video: HERE
A final reminder: Summer Sunday's we worship at 8am in the Garden Chapel and 9:30am at Lakeside Memorial Park in downtown Forest Lake. This is a great opportunity to invite a neighbor!!
See you in Church or at the Lake!

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.

THANK YOU
Hosanna's Green Earth Team (GET) would like to give a hearty 'thank you' to everyone who supported the recent Spring Plant Sale! Over $2,800 worth of plants and flowers were purchased by Hosanna members and friends, which generated over $800 back to the GET! You may remember these funds help support various projects at Hosanna which encourage us all to be Good Stewards of God's Earth! We couldn't build a rain garden, purchase mulch, glass coffee mugs, recycling bins, host Green Earth Sundays, and much, much more, without everyone's support and encouragement. And, remember that when shopping at Forest Lake Floral through June, simply mention "Hosanna" when you are checking out, and a percentage of your qualifying purchases will come back to the GET in cash! What a fantastic arrangement. Thanks to Forest Lake Floral for helping our ministries. |
