Aloha our beloved parish ‘ohana,

“Christ, you know I love you.
Did you see, I waved!
I believe in you and God,
so tell me that I'm saved
”
We each make many choices during the course of a day. Sometimes our choice of whom we consider a hero can change abruptly when we least expect it. During this weekend’s liturgy, we get to participate in choosing between Jesus and Barabbas.
Our worship begins with remembering the excitement of Jesus coming into Jerusalem and into our church. Like the original crowd, we get stirred up by the excitement of a parade, and, not unlike the crowd in the musical
Jesus Christ
Superstar,
we “sing”:
|
|
Christ, you know I love you. Did you see, I waved!
Half way through our worship everything changes. Now it is the end of the week and we are no longer cheering. A government official is giving us chance to make a different choice.
“It was a close call”, we think to ourselves. “Good heavens! it was exciting to wave at Jesus – to make a tentative choice for him – but now we have yet another hero to choose from, Barabbas.
Early Church Father, Origen, taught that the historical manuscripts indicated that the full name of Barabbas was Jesus Barabbas. Therefore, “Barabbas” would not be a name but rather a title. ”Abba” means father, “bar” means “son of”. Thus, Origen would say that our hero’s name was “Jesus, Son of the Father”. Sounds pretty Messianic!
The two men stand before Pilate who says, “Whom do you want me to release to you, Jesus the Son of the Father or Jesus, the Son of God?”
Those in the biblical crowd were caught up in the passion of their day. They had two Messianic figures to choose from. And, they LOVED the parade caused by one of them, but all it took was a little nudging from the chief priests to remind them that the greater chance of their gaining their freedom lay with Jesus Barabbas.
So often you and I wave at Jesus, but then we choose Barabbas. However, the Good News is this: No matter our choice – God ALWAYS chooses us.
The story of Palm Sunday is that God always chooses you and me.
The Fundamentalists have it wrong. We do not accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior. Jesus accepts us. This is not our doing. We have no power within ourselves to help ourselves. Only by the
GRACE
of God who exalts Jesus is the right choice made.
The acceptance by Jesus of the crowd’s change of mind and his willingness to die upon that cross that day, is much less about Christ Jesus sacrificing himself as the ultimate payment for your sinful decisions in life;
AND SO MUCH MORE ABOUT GOD’S COSMIC DECISION TO NEVER LEAVE OR FORSAKE YOU EVEN UNTIL THE END OF TIME
– even when you decide otherwise. Even when you change your mind.
|
|
Such stories as the
Prodigal Son
illustrate that when you walk away from God – God does not walk away from you; instead God chooses to wait to embrace you once again. And then God runs toward you at the first glimpse of your turning towards Him.
I pray you choose to enter deeply into the story of Christ’s Passion and Resurrection this next week.
Please look over the schedule below. One thing I am very excited about is that there is a different preacher and special music every night..
With blessings and a special mahalo to all who are helping to make this such a meaningful week ahead,
David

Our Change Changes Lives - UTO Little Blue Boxes
The Episcopal Church’s United Thank Offering (“UTO”) motto is "Our change changes lives." Each year, churches are invited to participate in an offering of support for the United Thank Offering grant program which addresses human need through grants to projects that alleviate poverty, both domestically and internationally, within the Anglican (Episcopal) provinces and dioceses. Some years ago, St. James’ benefited from a UTO grant that helped build our bathrooms.
There are blue boxes available on the back tables in church. You are invited to make a daily prayer and offering in thanks for the blessings in your life by putting your loose coins and bills into a UTO blue box placed on your bedside table, the kitchen sill, the office desk — any place where prayers of thanksgiving are said.
Our Parish will have its giving time during the season of Lent, ending on first Saturday and Sunday after Easter Sunday, April 27 & 28.
You will be invited to bring your blue box with you to church that weekend. We will bless them during our services and then the offerings will be sent to UTO.

We had a rainbow of color for our last Lenten Series. The lesson was the Parable of the Wedding Feast and we indeed did feast on Raina's good cooking! Thank you Raina for another delicious Vegan meal of pea soup and grilled cheese sandwiches and a rainbow of colorful veggies! The Lord chimed in with a rainbow of color as well!! Great time, great food and great conversation!
St. Columba's will be showing
'The Passion of the Christ'
for Good Friday in place of the traditional service. The 2 hour movie will be shown in the sanctuary. Please bring your own dinner; coffee and tea will be provided. Movie begins at 5:30, pau by 7:30. Due to the violence within the film, parental discretion is advised.
A big Mahalo to Michael Dale for playing and leading music at St. Columba's this past Sunday. Michael plays for us every 1st Sunday of the month along with Chris Kirchhoffer. Chris is off island until May and Michael did a great job going solo!

What an amazing week we have had at St. James’. We started off on Sunday with 13 keiki in Godly Play. Debi Brun did a beautiful job preparing our keiki for the Easter Season. She told the story of the Faces of Easter and had the keiki so excited about what is to come. We also had several newcomers that took great joy in carrying the cross and tithe up front. I love it when they want to be involved with our service.
We had a nice crowd at our after school tutoring program and you can certainly tell that the school year is in the last quarter. Some homework was completed, and the keiki had a chance for some outside play time too. That is always a good thing. Nico enjoys getting his homework done before he takes the paddling van down to Kawaihae.
We are also starting up Ohana Ukulele class on April 24
th
after tutoring from 3-4PM for 4 weeks. All ages are encouraged to participate in this very fun ministry. Bring your keiki, or grandchildren, or even a neighbor to join us on Wednesday. We have ukulele’s available for you to practice with.
I am always amazed at the amount of activity we have at St. James’ during the week. Our church is truly an anchor in our community and a very big part of the happenings in Waimea. The soldiers came down from Pohakuloa and spent Wednesday and Thursday with us doing various projects around the church. I am especially excited about the new floor that was installed in the Youth Hut. What a difference a new floor makes. They also installed a tether ball that got a good workout at community meal, and assembled another swing set for the keiki to play on. Our space is very keiki and family friendly. We are just shopping for seats to add to the swing set. We wanted to keep the soldiers for another week but they were excited about finishing up and heading to their homes in various spots around the country. They were all so awesome.
As we go to press with our Parish Newsletter, we are preparing to host Walk with Jesus. I have to admit that this program is my favorite. We will take families on a journey through Jesus’ last days on earth. This is a program that keiki will always remember and it reminds us that Jesus is front and center in our lives. I am also excited that we will serve a yummy dinner and families will spend quality time together. If you would like to help with this event or any of our other events, please give me a call. We have room for you to participate and have fun.
Blessings,
Susan +

Their keiki really enjoy Sunday School and we will be doing a Journey through the Parables with them. The Parable program is very easy to follow along and has everything you need to do a meaningful Sunday School for the keiki. If you are interested, please let Rev. Linda or me know. There is nothing better than planting seeds of faith in our keiki.

A FAVORITE RETURNS
It was a cool windy night in the Pavilion but our guests were warmed up by the return of a favorite dish: Jane's Mac & Cheese. Lead Chef Jane Sherwood reprised her recipe of a favorite for all Mac & Cheese. In addition to the traditional dish, we also served Vegan Mac & Cheese, Hot Dogs, Rice, Quinoa, Rice & Veggie Vegan Soup, Mango, Green Papaya Salad, Local Radish, Cabbage Slaw, Tomato, Green Bean & Guacamole Salad, Garlic Bread and 2 fabulous Fresh Poke Dishes …...Spicy Marlin & Tamari Marlin. And of course our delicious dessert offerings. ALL THAT really warmed up our guests.

Palm Sunday:
Liturgy of the Palms
Notes on This Reading:
Palm Sunday is also called the Sunday of the Passion of our Lord. In other words, there are a lot of themes going on in this one day. Accordingly, we have two passages from the gospel to read in the liturgy of the day. We begin with a parade, a remembrance of Jesus’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem, a story told in each of the four gospels in fulfillment of passages in the Hebrew scriptures. The story is a study in fickle human nature, for in just a few days the crowd goes from shouting “Hosanna,” an ancient version of hooray, to shouting, “Crucify him.” In fact, in our liturgy on this day, we do both those things.
Questions:
- Can you picture yourself in this crowd as Jesus processed into the city on a donkey?
- Think a bit about that donkey, which was needed by Jesus, and offered by the owners. What might you offer that is needful for Jesus’s ministry?
- What would you make of this apparently spontaneous celebration?
- Have you ever experienced anything like it?
- What did Jesus mean that the stones would cry out when the Pharisees, the religious leaders, wanted the public demonstration to stop?

God is calling us into a relationship of love that is beyond warm sentimentality. This love is a self-sacrificing love, a tough love that spares no cost, as Jesus eventually demonstrated through His passion and death and resurrection. This love is not cheap, and Jesus tells us we must consider that cost.

Midweek Worship
Every Wednesday
Morning Prayer, 9 AM
Every Wednesday, at 9 AM in St. James' church, we offer the service of Morning Prayer. This is a beautiful way to begin one's day. The service of Morning Prayer, also known as Matins, is one of the two main Daily Offices in the Episcopal church. One of the beautiful aspects of Morning and Evening Prayer is that as you pray the office you are praying it with thousands of people around the world who are also engaged in these same or similar prayers. In addition, during the service, we will be incorporating the reading of the names on our parish prayer list. Please come and join us in prayer.

Response to Active Violence in Places of Worship
Saturday, May 4
th
from 9 – 10:30 AM, at St. James’ Church, Waimea
The most frequent command Jesus gave us was ‘Do not be afraid.’ Not that we shouldn’t feel fear, but that we should not live in fear and let it control our lives. Ultimately, we are to let faith have control of our lives. Knowledge of what to do in an emergency situation can reduce the hold
that fear can have on us.
On Saturday, May 4
th
from 9 – 10 AM, at St. James’, we will welcome Sergeant Paul Kim of the Hawai’i Police Department's Special Response Team. Sergeant Kim will offer a presentation on “Response to Active Violence in Places of Worship.” Our objective is to maintain a safe, holy, open, welcoming sanctuary, and to do so by proactively developing guidelines and principles for preventing, preparing for, responding to, and recovering from an incident or emergency.
