A Message From Our Kahu
Advent
“Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel” Isaiah 7:14
On November 30 we will celebrate the First Sunday of Advent in our worship service. Advent means “coming,” and we will spend four weeks contemplating the meaning of Christ’s coming, not just the first time when he was born in Bethlehem, but all of the ways that Christ shows up in our lives. We remember during the season that Christ has come, Christ continues to come, and Christ will come again.
I and our Deacons are already busy planning the seasons of Advent and Christmas. I always look forward to this time of year: the Advent wreath, Christmas decorations, our church Christmas party at the parsonage (December 12, in case you want to get it on your calendar!), the children/youth Christmas program, Christmas Eve service, and so much more! As we light the Advent candles this year, I hope that you will truly sense the presence of Jesus in our midst, the One who comes, lighting up our lives while bringing us hope, peace, joy and love.
I wish you a most blessed holiday season!
Aloha Nui Loa!
