CHURCH ANNUAL MEETING

We had a very successful Church annual meeting on Sunday, January 28. We thank all members and friends for their voices and votes. We distributed updated “members/friends directories.” Please find your name in the directory (members in the front section, friends of the church in the back); if your name is missing or if you have any spelling, address or contact changes, please let Penny know.

 

“KOLOA UNION CHURCH VIDEO”

Thanks to Chris Sweitzer, we have a new YouTube channel where you can find Kahu’s recent videos. It is called “Koloa Union Church Video” and can be accessed by clicking HERE. You are invited to share these videos with friends and invite them to church. Please feel free to “Like” any of the videos you see and share them on social media, such as Facebook, so that others will notice them. We have heard from people in Europe, Canada and all over the U.S. who have watched these videos. Several people decided to attend Koloa Union Church after they watched one of Kahu’s videos!

COMING UP……

 

SHROVE TUESDAY/MARDI GRAS/FAT TUESDAY PANCAKE SUPPER

February 13, 2018, Tuesday, 6 p.m.

It is the day before Ash Wednesday marked by feasting and celebration before the observance of the Lent fast. Started in the Middle Ages, restricted and perishable food was all consumed on Shrove Tuesday to avoid spoilage and waste. Join us for a fun pancake supper!

 

ASH WEDNESDAY

February 14, 2018

We mark Ash Wednesday as the first day of Lent, which is traditionally a time of fasting and prayer in preparation for receiving or reaffirming baptism on Easter. We will begin the evening with a Soup Supper at 6 p.m. in Moore Hall and then move into the sanctuary at 7 o’clock for the service of the ashes.

 

WEDNESDAY SOUP SUPPERS AND LENTEN REFLECTIONS

Beginning February 21, we will meet at 6 p.m. in Moore Hall for soup and then spend time reflecting and discussing the theme of “Blessings.” Each Sunday during Lent, Kahu will focus on a particular kind of blessing during his sermon and then use that topic for our time together the following Wednesday evening.
