6/5/2025 Thankful Thursday Announcements

*MISSED LAST SUNDAY? – We missed you! It was our annual Taste of Hosanna Open House Evangelism where we welcomed new youth graduates, visitors, and reminded ourselves of the importance of evangelism in spreading the gospel and believing the gospel message on the most well-known verse in the Bible – John 3:16, Believe in the Name of the Only Son of God (JOHN 3:16-21). Re-watch here: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkjtQ3941j8&t=3839s). **You can always join us virtually livestream wherever you are in the world at our webpage, every Sunday morning at 10:30am (CDT – central time): https://www.youtube.com/@HosannaPresbyterianChurch/streams

​*TRANSFORMATION – PRESCHOOL ROOM INTO NURSERY WORSHIP ROOM – With new infant toys and a new mat for our little ones to crawl around freely on cushioned ground, our preschool room is slowly changing into a nursery for our little ones to grow-up into preschool. Now since all our preschool graduates have moved-up, we hope the Lord will continue to send us more families with little and young children in preschool, as well as help us reach out to our neighbors with young children whom the Lord longs to touch with His gospel through us! Let us pray and expect great things from the Lord and attempt great things for the Lord, Amen? Amen.
