HENRY OPUKAHA`IA SCHOLARSHIP OFFERING This past week was the 200th anniversary of Henry’s death and we will be collecting an offering in his honor this coming Sunday, February 25! Each year around the end of February, churches throughout the Hawai`i Conference of the United Church of Christ collect the Henry Opukaha`ia Scholarship Offering. Henry Opukaha`ia was a young Hawaiian who sailed to New England, converted to Christianity, and is credited for inspiring the first missionaries to sail to Hawai`i from New England in the early 1800’s. The offering goes into a fund to support clergy training by providing financial aid for seminary, postgraduate and continuing educational expenses. Please give with generous hearts.
MEN’S BREAKFAST The men of the church gather on Tuesdays at 7:30 a.m. at Kalapaki Joe’s in Poipu. They will be meeting every Tuesday until further notice.
WEDNESDAY SOUP SUPPERS AND LENTEN REFLECTIONS We meet at 6 p.m. on Wednesdays 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. Throughout the Season of Lent, Kahu will be following one chapter per week of John O’Donohue’s book, To Bless the Space between Us: A Book of Blessings.
SUNDAY SCHOOL & YOUTH EVENT This Sunday, February 25, after Aloha Hour! Please check in with Tiffany Marrotte if you and/or your kids plan to participate. $5 per person.
MOBILITY SCOOTER A resident of Sun Village in Lihue has a mobility scooter which she would like to donate to someone who can use it. Contact Kahu Akana if you are interested.
