Year-End Worship Service

2011 is coming to an end. We want to use the New Year's Eve to reflect and look back what God has done in our lives during this year.

 

Our Year-End Worship Service will be this coming Saturday, 31st of December at 11.00pm in our regular service hall at Hosanna Church in Hadan. We want to worship God and share about his love being evident in our lives. Through that we want to enter the new year in God's presence.

Be aware, that you will be able to come by public transport, for your way home though you need to organize your own transport. If you would like to come, but are unable to organize transport, feel free to contact us. We'll see what we can do :)

HIM Christmas Celebration

It's Christmas soon!  

We warmly invite you to celebrate Christmas, the birthday of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ this coming Sunday, December 25th with us.

Our HIM Christmas celebration will be right after the regular worship service, which starts 12:30pm.

To start into our Christmas celebration we are planning to have a special international Christmas potluck. To make it special we want to share only homemade food. If you are able to prepare and bring food that you eat at home in your country for Christmas, it's even better!

We will also have a gift exchange. So please bring a small wrapped gift worth not more than 3000-5000 Won on that day. Buying something or wrapping something that you have at home doesn't matter.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact Pastor Son (010-3526-5017) or Dominic (010-3093-0660)

New HIM leadership

With the start of the new church year there were some changes in the HIM leadership. Dominic Bothello, who took care of us HIMers from the beginning of 2011, handed over his leadership position to Pastor Dahm Son.

Looking back, we thank Dominic a lot for his willingness to be our pastor and shepherd, when HIM was in a difficult situation without a leader. We are grateful for his welcoming heart, his willingness to lead by humbly serving us, and for the time he took for each one of us. We are more than happy to have him and his family still with us, as he will continue to serve HIM.

We also welcome Deacon Jang and new finance accountant Deaconess Baek, who will replace Deacon Cho and Deaconess Kim.

We wish Pastor Son and the new leadership God's blessing in their service with HIM and lots of wisdom and sensitivity to handle our colorful and diverse international crowd :)

End of HIM church year

As the church year has ended, we have to say goodbye again to Korean staff members, who have served faithfully in HIM during the last year. We are sad to lose them, as they will be serving in different areas of Hosanna Church next year.

Deacon Cho was responsible for HIM from the Korean church side. Deaconess Kim was in charge of our finances.

Pastor Andres also joined us last year. He will be leaving to serve in the Indonesian and Vietnamese services.

We really appreciate their service in HIM and wish them God's blessing and all the best for their future.

Thanksgiving

This coming Sunday, November 20th, we want to celebrate Thanksgiving together. After the service we will have a short Thanksgiving sharing time as well as a Thanksgiving meal together.

All food and drinks will be provided by Hosanna Church, so just come, meet nice people, eat and enjoy :)
