WELCOME TO HOSANNA! It s my pleasure to welcome you to Christmas Eve at Hosanna!. Whether this is your first visit or you ve attended here for many years, I m thrilled you re worshipping with us today. Our vision is to multiply the hope and heartbeat of Jesus, and nothing brings that vision to life quite like Christmas. It s my prayer that as you experience the animals, message, and candlelight carols, you ll get a real sense of what Jesus heartbeat looks and feels like. He s the hope of the world. He is Emmanuel - God with us. This is a message worth celebrating, today and everyday. Merry Christmas to you! Peace, Ryan Alexander, Lead Pastor
