MEMBERSHIP GATHERING  This Sunday, March 4! Interested in Learning More about our Church? On Sunday, Kahu Akana and the Deacons will meet with people who are interested in learning more about Kōloa Union Church and what is involved in becoming a member of our congregation. We will cover such subjects as: our church’s history, vision and mission; the various groups within our congregation; what we believe about God and Scripture; affiliation with the United Church of Christ; and benefits and expectations of membership. Those who participate in the gathering may choose to join the church, but there is no obligation to do so. The gathering will take place in Moore Hall after Aloha Hour, approximately 12:30 to 3:00. Please sign up on the bulletin board or by contacting the church office. Childcare provided.

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.

Please join us on Wednesday evenings and sign up to bring soup if there is a Wednesday that is not yet spoken for:

• February 28 (Penny)

• March 21   (Tiffany)
