The Christmas Fund

United Church of Christ Christmas Fund

December 22 and 24 Sunday Morning and Christmas Eve

This special offering, administered by the United Church of Christ Pension Boards, provides direct financial assistance to retired and active UCC authorized ministers and lay employees and their surviving spouses, including pension and health premium supplementation, emergency assistance, and Christmas “thank you” checks. Each year, UCC congregations throughout the country collect this offering to assist faithful servants of God who are facing financial difficulties. We not only share hope, peace, joy and love with them; but they, in turn, pass these things along to others in their communities and in the world.

We will collect the Christmas Fund offering on December 22 at Sunday morning service and December 24 Christmas Eve service. Offering envelopes will be provided.

Please write checks to “Koloa Union Church” and write “Christmas Fund” on the note section of your check. If you would like to make a donation online, please write “Christmas Fund” in the comment section. Thank You for Supporting The Christmas Fund!

Prayers & Squares will meet on Tuesday, January 7, in Moore Hall from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. This is a ministry promoting prayer using hand-tied quilts. Volunteers with all ranges of quilting experience may join them for prayer, fellowship, stitching, and learning about quilting. The motto: “It’s not about the quilt; it’s all about the prayers.” The group continues creating prayer quilts to be distributed at Wilcox Hospital.

If you or someone in your ohana are in need of a tangible representation of prayer, please contact Debbie Gunning to request a quilt.

Stewardship Committee

Thank you to everyone who has given generously to our general fund this year! We have paid our mission commitments, salaries, insurance, utility and maintenance bills, costs for our website, newsletter, some large unexpected expenses and so much more! Most importantly, we have provided a welcoming space and inspirational worship services for everyone who has visited us, and we have carried out our mission and service to the community! Thank you also to everyone who submitted a commitment card for 2025, as that is such a huge help for us as we begin the process of creating next year’s budget during the next couple of weeks.

As the year winds down, here are 3 requests for you to consider:

1. Please fulfill your annual commitment/pledge by the end of December or earlier if possible.
2. Please consider an extra “over and above” Christmas gift to the church to assure that we end the year in the black.
3. Please send us your commitment card for 2025 by November 10 if you haven’t already done so.
4. Please consider leaving a portion of your estate (a dollar amount or a percentage) to Kōloa Union Church when you update your will or trust. You can designate your gift to a favorite area of ministry or give an undesignated gift for the Church Council to decide as important needs and ministries arise.

Kitchen Update

A Modern, Stainless Steel, Fully-Equipped Kitchen

With Serving Windows Into Moore Hall and the Patio!

Progress Continues!

The new walls are up—adding extra floorspace! Plumbing and electrical wiring to the kitchen are complete! The concrete floor has been poured! In the coming weeks, the workers will complete the finishing work, install the new windows, cabinets, fans and lights, counters and appliances! We should be able to use the kitchen in about a month!

Due to construction material and kitchen appliances, we will be keeping Moore Hall closed until it is safe to enter. As an active construction zone, please be extra cautious when walking on the property, as there are a handful of tripping hazards and some broken glass on the south side of Moore Hall. Please keep an extra eye on the keiki!

Any additional funds that we raise for this project will be used to stock the kitchen once it is completed. You may also donate specific items that we identify as necessary to have a fully functional kitchen.

THANK YOU to everyone who has contributed to the kitchen fund!

Barring any unforeseen complications, we plan to begin using our new kitchen sometime in November. Be sure to check next month’s newsletter regarding progress and plans for Aloha Hour after church.
