WORLD COMMUNION SUNDAY / NEIGHBORS IN NEED This Sunday, October 7, is World Communion Sunday—a day in which Christian unity and ecumenical cooperation are observed. It is as day when we remember that we are connected to the whole Christian Church and celebrate Holy Communion. According to our tradition, we will collect the Neighbors in Need offering this Sunday. On World Communion Sunday, United Church of Christ congregations collect this special offering to support ministries of justice and compassion throughout the United States. This year’s theme is “Love of Neighbor.” Let us generously give to this offering in order to love our neighbors throughout the US who are in need of support. Offering envelopes will be available on Sunday morning. You may also write a check to “Koloa Union Church” with “Neighbors in Need” or “NIN” in the note section.
PRAYERS & SQUARES All are welcome to participate in this ministry of making quilts and prayer squares for those members of our congregation who are experiencing a life crisis. Our next gathering is scheduled for Tuesday, October 9, at Koloa Union Church from 1 to 4 p.m.
