Under Construction!
Dear Members and Friends:
I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has supported our capital campaign “Maika`i Hana Hou” (Creating Goodness & Beauty Once Again)! We have done so much this past year, and we are working on our parking lot this week! Part of our new vision is to become more welcoming and inviting…and I can tell you that we will certainly be looking a lot more welcoming and inviting when our parking lot and landscaping project is completed!
At our “Capital Campaign One-Year Anniversary Celebration” on Sunday at the parsonage, I shared with everyone about my maternal grandmother. She was a significant role model in my life and was very influential in her example and support to help get me where I am today. She taught me that a person always has love to give, even during the most difficult and trying circumstances in life. She also taught me how I can overcome even the most difficult obstacles if I make a plan and am determined to fulfill it. Therefore, I wanted to honor her by doing something very special: I decided to pay for our new koa pulpit in full and name it in her memory.
I hope every person in our church will honor in one way or another the important people in his/her life. If it turns out that you want to honor someone through our capital campaign, please contact me or Dan Giovanni, our capital campaign chair, and we will help you discover how you might do that.
I hope to see you on Sunday as we use our new parking lot for the first time!
Aloha nui!

Our Capital Campaign One-Year Anniversary
SUNDAY, JUNE 5, 2016 (10:30 A.M. to 3:00 P.M.)
Dear Members & Friends:
I am honored to host our anniversary celebration at the parsonage on Sunday! (3281 Waikomo Road) We have accomplished so much in the past year! It really is time for a celebration!!!
We will begin the day of celebration with a fun, informal and uplifting worship service. During our worship, we will enjoy hula from a local halau: Na Kupuna O Halau Ka Lei Mokihana O Le`ina`ala. Our own Kaylee Alapai will provide us with something special as well!
After the worship service, a delicious Italian lunch will be served, followed by entertainment, games, activities and prizes. There will be a large waterslide for the children. There will also be an opportunity for people to share their talents—musically and otherwise!
The dress is casual attire, and children should bring a towel and change of clothes.
Visitors are welcome!
I look forward to seeing everyone on Sunday at the parsonage!
Aloha nui!
