MOVIE NIGHT Friday, January 13, 2017, 6 p.m.
We are showing a fun family movie, serving hot dogs, popcorn and drinks. The movie will be outside, so bring warm clothes. We will move indoors if it rains.
PRAYERS & SQUARES (Our New Prayer Ministry)
During the month of January there will be two “open” quilt gatherings at the Dressel residence (4421 Kai Ikena Drive Kalaheo, 332-7371 or abdressel@gmail.com):
- Saturday, January 21, 10am – 2pm.
- Tuesday, January 31, 2pm – 5pm.
Please come when you can, stay as long as you wish. Sandy Gerard will teach how to cut fabric for piecing and Angela will help those who want to learn to piece the lap quilts together. Bring your sewing machines and associated tools and any fabric you can gather.
WINDOW CLEANING
We are looking for someone to clean our church sanctuary windows this week (outside only). This includes the high windows where the white cross is, so a brush with an extension pole, tall ladder or scaffolding might be necessary. If you know of anyone capable and willing to volunteer or if you can recommend a good professional window cleaner, please let us know.
- IMPORTANT NOTE: As part of our capital campaign projects, we are installing film on the inside of the windows this week to cut out the glare of the sun. The installers have instructed: NO cleaning of the inside of the windows for 30 days…and NEVER use window cleaner with ammonia (which disintegrates the film)!!!

EPIPHANY
Join us on Sunday, January 1, for our 10:30 worship service as we celebrate a new year and also Epiphany! This special holiday on the Christian calendar is officially on January 6, marking the end of the Christmas Season (the 12 Days of Christmas: December 25 – January 5). “Epiphany” comes from the Greek word meaning “manifestation,” and points to the manifestation of God in human form as Jesus. The feast day also commemorates the magi, who visited Jesus when he was a baby or small child.
