A Message From Our Kahu
Feeling Grateful
As I write my monthly message to the members and friends of Koloa Union Church, I am feeling especially grateful. I’m sitting in my studio/office at the Smith Memorial Parsonage and thankful to have a roof over my head—and not just any old roof, but a brand new roof that was recently installed by a local roofing company.
On Sunday I was walking onto the property and saw all of the yard work, as well as outdoor repairs and painting, that volunteers did over the past couple of weeks. I walked under our brand new arbor with a welcoming sign hanging overhead and our newly painted church bell just waiting to be rung, and then made my way into the freshly painted Moore Hall. I poked my head into our brand new kitchen and saw people already getting ready for Aloha Hour.
Yesterday Michael Horning took down the television and hung all of the art pieces in Moore Hall. I have never seen the place look so nice!
Tomorrow Koloa Union Church will host the Spring Aha Mokupuni, and I am so proud to have people from the UCC Churches all over the island gather for meals, Aha Mele (a musical celebration), the annual meeting of the Kauai Association of the United Church of Christ, and a worship service. I am also looking forward to planning art receptions at the parsonage again this summer!
We have beautiful church buildings (including the parsonage!) and grounds, in which we can all take great pride. I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone for countless volunteer hours as well as financial support to make all of this possible. Your generosity and care make a world of difference! Beautiful spaces make for a welcoming environment and provide a place for us all to do meaningful ministry.
Aloha Nui Loa!
