What to expect at Hosanna...
Visiting a church for the first time can be a uncertain experience. To help avoid any worries here's a quick summary of what to expect at Hosanna.
The main entrances are on the north and south sides (where most of the cars are parked). The worship center is at the rear (east end) of the building. Classrooms for Sunday school and Adult Education are in the center and west end. Offices are on the north side (look for the green awing over the entrance).
What to wear...
That's easy. Dress however you feel comfortable. We accept people as they are. Whether you come in a suit or in shorts that's fine.
For those with disabilities...
Hosanna is accessible for those with disabilities. Parking spaces are set aside near the north entrance. Restrooms are handicapped accessible. If you have specific needs please contact the church office (281-440-6890).
For kids...
Sunday school classes are every Sunday @ 9:30 AM. Also, check out Hosanna's fabulous playground with its tire swing, "tree houses," climbing wall and slides.
For those with young children...
Staffed nursery is available Sundays from 8 AM to 12 PM for children age 5 and under.
Worship at Hosanna...
Those arriving prior to worship services can find a seat and spend time praying, reading the newsletter or greeting others. Don't be afraid to ask questions.
During worship God's word is read, forgiveness is announced, sinners are absolved and our Lord's body and blood are received in Holy Communion. In these ways, God is present with us giving us what we need so much—mercy, forgiveness, love, joy, peace, power and comfort.
Music plays a significant role in all worship services at Hosanna. There are hymns, choral and instrumental music. Everything is centered on the Bible, God's word to us. Lessons are read from both the Old and New Testaments, followed by a children's talk and a message from the pastor or lay leader, all designed to help understand God, who we are and the world we live in.
Between services we gather for gourmet free-trade coffee and conversation. At 9:30 AM, there is Sunday School for children and Bible Study for adults.
Is it just Sundays?
Absolutely not! God is with us all week long and we aim to lead God-pleasing lives. We're not perfect. We make mistakes, but we desire to make a positive difference in everything we do.
To further encourage us we have Bible study every Wednesday @ 10 AM. An active seniors group gathers for monthly outings and many of us are involved in service projects: Habitat for Humanity, Prayer Shawl Ministry, Interfaith Hospitality Network, African Initiative, Mulkey Scholarship Fund, etc.
