Family Blessings

"Therefore, be imitators of God, as beloved children, and walk in love just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us." Ephesians 5:1-2

Children are precious gifts from God. Our prayer is that every child is blessed to live in a home where parents love the Lord and model God's love, grace and forgiveness daily. Hosanna's desire is to partner with and equip parents in their role as faith nurturers. Each child receives a "Family Blessings" binder at their baptism, which is filled with information, ideas and resources in the areas of spiritual growth and development.

 

 

 

"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up."  Deuteronomy 6:5-7

Camp Omega Day Camp Program

Hosanna has the privilege of hosting the staff from Camp Omega who lead our children in a week of summer day camp.  This day camp gives kids the chance to experience "camp" without staying overnight, and it is offered at a much lower cost than a week at camp facilities.  Day camp runs from Monday evening through noon on Friday. The cost is $60 per camper for the week..

 Day camp activities include:  Small group time, Bible study time, story time, crafts, large group activities, music and games.  On Wednesday, campers go on a field trip to Camp Omega for swimming, boating, hiking and much more!  Call the church office at (507) 388-1766 for additional information.

Day Camp for 2008 will be held June 23rd-25th here at HosannaLutheran Church from 9 am - 3 pm, Monday through Thursday and 9 am - noon on Friday. Children bring a sack lunch each day.
