*WELCOME to HOSANNA! – Warmest welcome to all of you, especially if you are visiting or re-visiting! Please let our Welcoming Team give you our welcoming gift! Fill-out a yellow newcomer’s contact card so that we can keep in touch! We welcome you into this family of Christ’s loving arms and remain here for you as His body to grow and flourish together!
 
*DISMISSAL of children (kinder to 5th grade) to Children’s Ministry and Youth Group to Bible study + Lunch! – At this time, children from kindergarten to 5th grade can head over to Minister Sewon Cho’s children’s ministry – please proceed to the children’s chapel down the hallway to the left! And youth group can head to your Bible study and lunch hour with Rev. Suyoung Song. *Preschool worship children should already be in the preschool worship room with Director Rachel, and will continue to begin simultaneously at 10:30am in the preschool worship room.

*BE ON-TIME FOR 10:30AM SUNDAY WORSHIP & EXIT THE CHAPEL IMMEDIATELY AFTER-SERVICE! - Because the Korean ministry is doing a seminar in the Chapel at approximately 1:30pm for the next couple of weeks, and the youth service is sandwiched in-between us, Youth Director Kris requested that we end as early as possible so that the youth students can come into service by 11:50am, so that the youth service will not end past 1:00pm-1:10pm and effect the Korean seminar. To honor their request, let's start by coming on-time to worship. *Coming on-time does not mean walking-in at 10:30am. *Please come between 10:00am to 10:15am, greeting one another, sharing in breakfast fellowship, helping any needs with the Welcoming Team, and preparing with earnest prayer in the Chapel prior to the worship countdown. *EXIT THE CHAPEL IMMEDIATELY AFTER-SERVICE AT 11:40AM to the gymnasium cafeteria for fellowship.

*STARTING NEXT SUNDAY (5/3) KINGDOM EXPANSION SCRIPTURES & PRAYER LED BY OFFICERS & HOSANNA INTERCESSORY PRAYER (HIP) TEAM – We will cultivate a culture of earnest prayer among our congregants, beginning with our spiritual leaders.

*KINGDOM EXPANSION PRAYER – This week’s Kingdom expansion prayers will focus on Hosanna Life Group ministry & Ministry Teams
 
Scripture:
 
And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. (ACTS 2:42)
 
And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. (HEBREWS 10:24-25)
 
Just as a nursing mother cares for her children, so we cared for you. Because we loved you so much, we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well. (1 THESSALONIANS 2:7-8)
 
 
Prayer (by Pastor Chester):
Heavenly Father, we lift up to You our covenant life group ministry. We intercede for our AGAPE life ministry, for our JAMES life ministry, for their shepherds the Jeng’s & Deacon Chong. As we devote ourselves to the teaching of Your Scriptures in these smaller groups of the Church, sharing fellowship, the breaking of bread and praying for one another, draw us to stir one another up to Christ’s love for us and the good works prepared to do for Him. Let us not neglect meeting together, as is the habit of some, but encourage one another all the more as the Day of Your Son’s return draws near. Just as a nursing mother cares for her children, grow in us a deep affection and care for one another as those whom Jesus Christ went to the cross for, died for, and rose again for. Because we love each other so much, may our delight be not only to share the gospel but also to share our lives, in covenant life with one another, walking together the narrow road of following Jesus all of our days. Let us grieve with those who are grieving. Let us rejoice with those who are rejoicing, for we are Your body, Your hands and feet connected to each other by the blood of Jesus Christ. Show us what it means to be Your body, Your bride, Your Church, Your children whom You have adopted to be Your family for one another. We pause to give thanks to You for the upcoming baptisms of Jason & Elena. We give thanks for the fervency in prayer You will produce through new prayer leaders for Kingdom Expansion Scripture & Prayer time. Be with them as they dwell upon topics on Your heart, search Your Scriptures, and write-out their prayers. Bless Rev. Hwang & family to Your new call in Los Angeles at Good Shepherd Church. Bless all the hands and feet that have labored in Christ’s love this month in tables/chairs cleanup ministry. Bless the Elders at their end-of-month gathering today. Bless Brian Ahn & Brian Joo on their birthdays this Tuesday, remind them of Your love through Hosanna. Bless the JAMES life group gathering this Saturday. Heal Deacon Chong’s flu so that he can rise again to serve and to shepherd Your flock. Continue growing our newborn sister Selene in strength, wisdom, and stature, alongside the precious life being knit together in the womb – Baby Park, Baby Jeng, Baby Chao. Provide for those who have lost jobs with new flourishing work. Strength our marriages with deeper affections and intimacy in Christ. Provide for our singles with a godly spouse in purity and undivided devotion in singleness, as You call them. Provide for our continued search for our 3rd Elder to complete the Session. May the food in Your house never be lacking, but always overflowing with unceasing giving of sacred tithes and offerings. Multiply our few loaves and fish to feed the multitudes life in Your Word, through the Way, the Truth, and the Life given to us, shared among us, and returning again for us, the risen Life of Jesus Christ name we pray, Amen & Amen.
