Are You Called to Serve at Hosanna?

The Hosanna Constitution states that the Treasurer, the Financial Secretary, the Secretary, and leaders of the Ministry Teams shall be elected by the congregation in odd-numbered years. This election will occur on June 3, and those elected will take office September 1.
The responsibility of preparing a slate of nominees for the June meeting belongs to the Lay Leadership Team. This team identifies willing individuals whose passions and gifts match the needs of the ministries, and issues calls to service to those individuals.
The Lay Leadership Team is requesting the help of the congregation in this process. On several Sundays in April and May forms will be handed out that will give members of the congregation the confidential opportunity to suggest themselves or others for consideration as nominees for the positions below.
Suggestions can also be made by e-mailing Teresa Albin before May 15th at teresa@welcometohosanna.com. In your email please state what you think qualifies this person to serve in this ministry.
The Lay Leadership Team will contact all individuals suggested to ascertain their willingness to serve, so you do not need to get the prior consent of the people you suggest. Nominees will be selected from those suggested to present to the congregation for election.
You may use a form found on our website on the documents-forms-policy page or one that will be distributed on Sunday morning beginning April 15.
