HAWAII CONFERENCE STRATEGIC PLANNING SESSION  March 13, 6:00 – 7:30 p.m. at Koloa Union Church. The evening will include dinner and a time with our Strategic Planning Consultant Cynthia Scherr (a friend of Kahu’s who serves with him on the Board of Trustees at Pacific School of Religion!). Please come and give your input regarding what you believe our priorities need to be and where our energy needs to be given—both here at Koloa Union Church and throughout the Hawaii Conference. All are welcome to attend! Activities are available for children!

MEN’S BREAKFAST  The men of the church gather on Tuesdays at 7:30 a.m. during the winter season at Kalapaki Joe’s in Poipu. They will be meeting every Tuesday until March 27.

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. This week: “Homecomings” (chapter 4).
