A Birthday Celebration

CELEBRATING TOYO NISHIDA

On Sunday we celebrated Toyo Nishida’s 99th birthday!  Toyo has held nearly every position in our church and for years was our own “menehune”— discreetly tending to chores (big and little)  needing attention.  He also continues to be an historian for our church and community. There are no words to show our gratitude.  We love you, Toyo! Happy Birthday!!!
