A Special Note About Donations
|
|
Special Note about donations
while we are unable to offer in-person worship:
We just want to let you know how you can still make donations to Hosanna during this crisis. Our operations and expenses still continue even though we are not meeting in person.
PAR:
If you are on PAR, everything will proceed like normal – thank you.
If you would like to join PAR, let us know we will send you the form (or you can pick one up at the office).
Mail/Mailbox:
You can mail in your donations (some of you already do this – thank you), or you can drop them off at the office or in the locked mailbox by the front door.
Online:
You can also donate online via credit card. Here is the link to the Hosanna website page with the donation link:
If you give online, please note a couple of things,
1)
you will receive a receipt from
Canadahelps
- not Hosanna.
2)
This option costs the church the most, as we pay a fee for the credit card and a fee to Canadahelps. It is not huge, so this remains a viable option, but if you can do one of the other choices, your money goes a bit further.

- AWAY: Pastor James on Sabbatical, May 4th to June 13th.
- Hosanna Anniversary Offering 2020: This year, Hosanna’s Anniversary Sunday falls on the very anniversary of our procession to the newly formed Hosanna Lutheran Church, 7 June 1987 – 7 June 2020. While this is our 33rd anniversary as Hosanna, our predecessor congregations in west Edmonton celebrate the 71st anniversary of the first of those congregations. Each year, Council chooses a special emphasis for our anniversary offering. This year, in the time of COVID-19, we ask that you give a special offering for Edmonton’s Food Bank. I encourage you to give an anniversary offering this year (to Hosanna by cheque (marked “Anniversary”)). As the Food Bank says in its By the Numbers chart, “You are not only feeding people, you are giving hope and creating a kinder community” — the very actions we strive for as a congregation of Christ’s followers. Margaret Sadler, Chair
- Check out The Church at Home, a blog series by Gregory Rawn of Spirit and Truth Publishing, the publisher of the curriculum we use for Sunday School, youth forum and Thursday morning Bible study. Each week he provides a brief reflection on the lesson as well as Living the Word: Sharing God’s Story @ Home, a resource to guide daily devotional time for the upcoming week.
- You Pick Hymns will return on Sunday, July 5th. This means we need you to send in your favorites name, number (if possible), and why you like it. Submissions can be sent to Pastor Anna at pastoranna@hosannalutheran.ab.ca or by phoning the church office.
- The June edition of "Notes from Hosanna" is now on our website. Call the church office if you would like a paper copy.
- If committees would like to meet by ZOOM, please contact Pr. Anna for setup details.
- Usher & Offering Counter volunteers: please keep an eye on the HAPPENINGS for future scheduling.
- The devotional resource, God’s Story, Our Story, is on the Hosanna website.
- The directory insert has been updated. Please call the office if you would like to pick one up.
- Church Calendar Link. If you would like to link to the online version, click here

Hi there! It’s Marla Johnson
and I've been really enjoying your services. I worship at Hope Lutheran in Calgary but consider Hosanna my second church. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to see my dad, Stan Johnson, since February and I miss him a lot. “Attending” Hosanna on Sundays is a way I can connect with my dad as we text a lot back and forth after services to discuss the content.
Two weeks ago a couple of wonderful teens did a skit on love. Pastor Anna issued a challenge to send a note or card to someone we care about. I chose to write an acrostic poem detailing all the things I admire and love about my dad- in Norwegian!
