CHURCH ON THE BEACH
Koloa Union Church will worship at the beach this Sunday! Our worship service will begin at 11:00 a.m. on Sunday, January 10, at the main pavilion at Poipu Beach (across the street from Nukumoi Surf Shop). It will be an informal, lively service with lots of music and participation for all ages. Bring something to share for our potluck luncheon after the worship service. There will be activities for the children and youth after lunch. The church will provide plates, cups and plastic utensils. Bring your own drinks and beach chairs too if you have any (although there will be plenty of seating for those who don’t!). There will be no worship service at the church on this day.

On Sunday, I talked about the many homes where I’ve lived and how often I moved. I also shared some thoughts from Diana Butler Bass’ chapter “Home” from her book Grounded. (She has moved a lot too!) The two most important things to me are:
- Home is where we belong…and feel that we belong.
- Home is a place where God meets us.
Fortunately, I am able to see both of these things in all of the homes where I have lived. I also see and feel both of these things at Koloa Union Church, our spiritual home. It is a place where all are welcome to meet God and have a place where we belong. I am grateful for the people at church who make me feel that I belong here. I see God in our common life: our worship, fellowship, outreach and the fun we have.
This is our home! And I hope to see you here again soon!
Hau’oli Makahiki Hou Me Aloha Nui Loa!!!

Christmas is Special at Koloa Union Church: We sing Christmas carols in English and Hawaiian on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and during the entire season; and all are welcome to join us. Whether you are fluent in Hawaiian or just want to listen to our choir and congregation sing their favorite Christmas carols, you are welcome to celebrate the birth of Jesus in a congregation where truly all are welcome, regardless of ethnicity, ability, socio-economic status, sexual orientation or any other area of modern life that sometimes separates people in our society. Come experience God’s presence and our island hospitality!
A Service of Candles & Carols: Our Christmas Eve service at Koloa Union Church will begin at 7:30 on December 24th. All are invited to join us for Christmas carols, Scripture readings, and the traditional lighting of the candles.
Christmas Day Communion Service: Our Christmas Day communion service at Koloa Union Church will begin at 10:30 a.m. All are invited to join us for a special day on which we celebrate the birth of our Savior. We will light the Christ candle, sing Christmas carols, hear a Christmas Day message from our Kahu, Alan Akana, and celebrate Holy Communion.
Special Offering: Each year at Christmastime, congregations of the United Church of Christ across the country take up a collection to provide pension and health premium supplementation to lower-income retired church workers, and emergency assistance to clergy and lay church employees in need, as well as “Thank You” gift checks to hundreds of faithful retired church workers. The fund is administered by the UCC Pension Boards. We will collect the Christmas Fund offering on December 24 & 25. Please give generously to help faithful church workers who are experiencing difficult times.
