Vision SPEAKOUT
Aloha Holy Apostles Family!
On Sunday, July 14, 2019 we are holding a "Vision Speakout" to kick off our efforts to create a CHA Vision and Strategic Action Plan. The goal of our plan is to raise our voices in unison in order work on key priority actions as one congregation. An Action Plan will also allow us to apply for grants to fund projects!
We will host a large group event on the lanai and 2 small focus groups. Everyone will be asked to answer 4 questions. The Speakout will begin immediately after the 9:00am service and will last for 1 hour.
Please make every effort to attend on Sunday July 14th.
We value your input and your voice counts! We promise this will be a fun and interactive event!
If for any reason you are unable to attend, we will have a repeat session on Sunday, July 21st.
*PS. Participants who answer all 4 questions you will receive a small gift.

How can our Holy Apostles Community take steps to be more sustainable and kind to our environment?
July Green Tip
:
Rapid 'Ōhi'a Death or "ROD" is a deadly fungal disease /affecting our 'ōhi'a lehua. Over 2 million trees have already been affected on the Big Island and Kauai. Disappearance of these trees will greatly alter the natural forest experience in Hawaii since they make up 80% of our native forests. Birds, insects and plants will be impacted and the 'ōhi'a forest cannot be recreated. The fungus causes the crown of trees to quickly turn yellow then brown. Once brown it is already dying.
How can you help? When going to forested areas where the 'ōhi'a tree grows, always make sure your shoes are clean of debris and seeds. State law prohibits the interstate movement of 'ōhi'a plant parts and soil. Please kokua and leave all 'ōhi'a plants where they grow. Help save our 'ōhi'a forests!
