KAUCC `AHA MELE The annual songfest of the Kauai Association of the United Church of Christ will be Friday, May 18, at Waimea United Church of Christ, beginning at 5 p.m. Our church choir will sing and everyone will have the opportunity to participate! Dinner will be provided by Waimea UCC. An offering will be connected to benefit the Kauai Council of Hawaiian Congregational Churches.
SEMINARY SUNDAY We will celebrate “Seminary Sunday” on May 20 during our worship service! Many congregations throughout the country celebrate this special day as a time to focus on the importance of educating and training current and future church leaders. Kahu Alan Akana will share his reflections of his time in seminary where he received Master of Divinity and Doctor of Ministry degrees, as well as the last two and a half years that he has been a Trustee at Pacific School of Religion. On the 20th we will collect a special offering for Pacific School of Religion. Kahu says, “I support PSR as part of my annual giving to the Church; and I invite you to make a special gift to PSR on May 20 when we celebrate Seminary Sunday.” Special offering envelopes will be available on that day; checks should be made out to “Koloa Union Church” with “PSR” in the note section. You may also give a monthly or annual gift to PSR in order to provide ongoing support for current and future church leaders. (See Kahu if you are interested in this.) Please consider a generous gift to PSR!
CHURCH BREAKFAST Our first monthly church breakfast (for men and women) will be on Tuesday, May 22, at 7:30 a.m. at Kalapaki Joe’s in Poipu (1941 Poipu Road). Just a fun time to hang out with friends and good food! Please RSVP with Michael Horning or Penny if you would like to attend.
