Serving Beyond Hosanna

Quilters

This group consists of women and men who meet to sew, cut squares, and put together beautiful quilts. The quilts go to our newly baptized, high school graduates, the community and out into the world (Lutheran World relief). The quilters meet the 2nd Thursday of the month from 9 AM-2PM at the church

Prayer Shawls

Prayer shawls are knitted or crocheted by Hosanna members. They are available in the church office if you would like to give one to someone in need.

Community Garden

Members who love gardening, meet and grow food for the hungry and enjoy the beauty of God’s creation. Members and non-members can also grow food for their own use. The community garden team meets at church. The garden plots are tilled in the spring and fall, and the team meets throughout the season to plant, weed, water and harvest.

High School Mission Trips

Hosanna youth are offered the opportunity to go on a “Mystery Mission Trip” during the summer. The youth participate in mission projects during their time away, as well as enjoy some team building and faith growing time.

Family Promise

The mission of Family Promise Rochester is to help families who are experiencing homelessness achieve sustainable independence through a community-based response. Family Promise’s vision is a nation in which every family has a home, a livelihood, and the chance to build a better future.

Hosanna members can help by sponsoring a meal for their bi-monthly Promise Group, where all the guests gather for a meal before the adults attend a class presented by community partners and the kids spend time with volunteers playing games and doing arts/crafts. Another way to become involved is through the Family Promise Good Neighbor Club. Sign-ups and more volunteer opportunities can be found on their website https://www.fprochestermn.org/volunteer or contact the church office for more information.

COMMUNITY FOOD RESPONSE

The Community Food Response is a non-profit, volunteer-rich organization, serving hungry adults and children in the Rochester area since 1993. CFR rescues extra food from local kitchens, grocery stores, schools, and businesses, thereby keeping this food out of our waste stream; this is a win-win for us all! This organization is truly a zero waste nonprofit! We feed hungry people and reduce food waste in Olmsted County.
