Winter Weather Update:  Worship is ON
Worship is Still On!

It appears that the area around the church mostly received snow, not ice.  The roads are a little better than last Sunday, but still use caution if you decide to come in.  Although our walkways have been salted and are in pretty good shape, please also be careful coming in from your car.

Local conditions can vary, so please use your best judgement when deciding whether you can safely make it to worship.  You are important to us and we don't want you to take risks if you are uncomfortable with the conditions.  

If you are unable to make it in, but would still like to participate, visit our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/hosanna.liberty.mo/) after 7:00pm to listen to a recording of the sermon.  You won't need to be "on" Facebook or log in to listen to the recording.

IF YOU CAN'T MAKE IT IN...
WE COULD STILL USE YOUR COMMITMENT FOR HOSTING THE WARTBURG CHOIR!


This week we were presented with the opportunity to host the Wartburg College Castle Singers and Kammerstreicher Chamber Orchestra after another church on their tour had to cancel.  Hosanna! was approached thanks to Abby Schott, who grew up in the congregation and recently moved back after graduating from Wartburg.  Abby and another Wartburg choir visited Hosanna! in 2015.  

We don’t have a lot of time to plan and prepare, but we expect this will be a fun opportunity to support these ELCA college musicians, and a great outreach opportunity to the community.  This will take considerable commitment, but with many hands, it will be light and joyful work.  

The most challenging aspect of hosting will be providing enough beds in member homes for the musicians to sleep the night on Sunday, March 3.  Students must be housed in groups of two or more, and will need beds (roommates can share a double bed).  Although couch beds, futons, and air mattresses are okay, we won’t have students sleep on the floor.  If you can host, please sign up now at the following link:  https://tinyurl.com/HLCWartburg.  

The choir and orchestra will offer a community concert at Hosanna! at 4:00 on Sunday, March 3.  There are no admission costs, but we’ll collect a freewill offering to support their tour expenses and scholarships.  They’ll be at an Iowa church in the morning, so unfortunately, they won’t be able to join us for worship.  

After the concert, Hosanna! members will have a potluck dinner.  We’ll have to prepare enough food for the musicians, so potluck assignments and sign-ups will be forthcoming.

Please invite others to join us for the concert!  Posters will be available in the fellowship for you to post in the public places you frequent.  Information about the concert will be sent out to local high school, churches, and media outlets. 

If you have questions, please e-mail Pastor Mike at pastormike@hosannalutheranchurch.org.

Thank you!
