1st Annual Polar Express @ Hosanna

On Sunday night, the Polar Express rolled into Hosanna. We had games, music, food, visits from the train conductor and Santa and, of course, watched the Polar Express movie.

We raised $1000 and with matching from Thrivent Financial, that brings the total to $2000!

THANK YOU to everyone who attended, donated or volunteered to make this a special night! Let's make this an annual event!

Amy took photos of each child sitting on Santa's (aka Lori's Dad) lap. Beautiful Christmas music was performed by local singer/songwriter, Jamie Wolf.

Bake Sale ladies!
Games:


Lori helped with the raffle:
Kids enjoyed popcorn, cotton candy and hot cocoa!
The train conductor arrived to punch tickets:

Then we watched the movie!

Christmas at Hosanna

Last Sunday, many members of Hosanna enjoyed a Christmas potluck, decorated the church and then went to Jan's house for the cookie exchange. We had a great turn out and lots of fun!!
