LECTIONARY READINGS (Old & New Testament Readings for the Week) Each week, Christians throughout the world read biblical passages from the Revised Common Lectionary, including the Old Testament, Psalms, New Testament, and Gospels. After three years, a good portion of the Bible is included and the cycle begins again. RCL passages are often read in church worship services, and Kahu Akana usually includes at least one of them on the following Sunday. This week’s readings are Esther 7:1-10, 9:20-22; Psalm 124; James 5:13-20-8a; Mark 9:38-50.

MUSICAL FUNDRAISING GALA FOR THE PARSONAGE The church will be hosting a fundraising gala for the parsonage on the afternoon of Sunday, October 14. Members and friends of the church are invited to share their musical and dancing talents. We will be catering heavy pupus, providing door prizes and discounts of sales at the gallery, showing off Kahu’s latest works of art and featuring some of his photographs of Hawaiian flowers. Details will be available next week. The funds raised will help pay for costs of some much needed projects at the parsonage. Please invite your friends who love music and art!
