Membership Gathering

This is a last-minute announcement, but several people expressed an interest in attending the Membership Gathering that we had at the church last week but couldn’t make it. So we are going to have another one Tuesday evening, May 13, at the parsonage at 6. This is for anyone who wants to learn more about Koloa Union Church and what membership involves (without any pressure to join; totally up to you). We will also talk about baptism of children. Please RSVP with me if you are interested: revdocakana@gmail.com. Also let me know if you are interested but can’t make it on Tuesday; we’ll find a time. 🙂
