MAIKA’I HANA HOU!!
We had a fun and successful Commitment Sunday! Thank you ALL who made commitments and ALL who helped with the fabulous “appreciation luncheon” at the parsonage. After church we walked over to the parsonage to find beautifully decorated tents and tables, an amazing lunch, live Hawaiian music and hula, a long list of door prizes!

May 17, 2015, 10:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
Come one, come all!!! Come to church on May 17 while prayerfully considering your commitment to our Maika’i Hana Hou capital campaign. This is an exciting time for our congregation as we commit to making our church more welcoming, inviting, attractive and safer. Commitment cards will be available at church for those wishing to make a financial commitment. We will collect and bless our commitments during the worship service. Then join us for an appreciation luncheon at the parsonage (3281 Waikomo Road): a catered lunch and live entertainment (and amazing door prizes for all who make financial gifts and commitments to Maika’i Hana Hou). Everyone is welcome to the luncheon, whether or not you contribute to the capital campaign.
Flowers! If anyone can donate large cut flowers for Sunday’s luncheon decorations, please drop them off at the parsonage before Sunday morning; just place them in one of the buckets near the carport.
