Welcome
Hosanna is affiliated with the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod in Buffalo, Minnesota.
We are a dual parish with Bethlehem Lutheran. So AT BETHLEHEM means the event will be held there.
We celebrate the Divine Service with Communion on Sunday mornings at 10:00 using the historic liturgy of the Christian church as found in the Lutheran Service Book.
Whether you are new to the area or have been here a while, our doors are always open.
Announcements
- Council Meeting February 17 after Service
- Transfiguration Sunday and "What's a Gesima?"
In the Church Year (one year series), the three Sundays before Lent are known as “gesima” Sundays, and are like a pre-Lent. Why a three week “pre-Lent?” There's been some joyous weeks, Epiphany, Jesus' Baptism, but change is coming. We will soon have the season of Lent, on the way to the Cross, without which Easter is but another metaphor or myth. Visit the following site to read this full article.
