BACK TO THE FUTURE

Since opening its doors in 1980, Hosanna! has adapted and changed in order to remain culturally relevant and accommodate growth. Though change has been continual, the unique core of who we are as a church has never changed--and it never will. In this Vision series, we will reach into Hosanna’s history to identify the foundational characteristics that will continue to shape and unify our future. We’re going Back to the Future.

THIS WEEK’S REFLECTION AND QUESTIONS FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION.

1. If you could go back and relive any age or time period in your life, what would it be? Why?

2. What do you appreciate about people from other generations? How can it be challenging to connect with people from different generations?

3. How is the church less complete without every generation included and engaged?

4. How does your thinking need to change regarding generations that are older or younger than yourself?

5. What is the dream or vision that God is giving you? How are you going to carry it forward?
