Weekly News Update | November 06, 2022

Stewardship Season


The cathedral has entered an important period of transition and change. Deans Mark and Dan have moved on to the next chapter of their lives, and that, in turn, initiates our move into a different sort of reality, one involving uncertainty and a degree of feat and risk.


But, in fact, we are just where Jesus wants us to be. He calls us in and through our current circumstance to trust his guidance and mercy and to look to the future with resurrectional eyes. As baptized persons we live the Paschal Mystery, that is, the fact that the one who died and rose again will always bring us to a place of light and life. Ponder this: the future of the cathedral, then, will be blessed by the Risen Lord.


During this time when we are considering our pledge to the cathedral, Jesus asks us to trust that your financial investment in the future of the cathedral in the coming year will both be a part of his blessing to you and a faithful support to his mission carried out by all of us in the cathedral community. Your pledge, then, is an act of trust in the Author of our salvation and in his presence and work in and through our parish community.


Please be filled with prayer and generosity as you make your 2023 pledge.

Daylight Savings Time Ends

November 06, 2022


Don't forget to turn the clocks back one hour before retiring Saturday evening. Daylight saving time ends at 2:00am Sunday morning November 6. You may have heard that the U.S. Senate has unanimously passed legislation that would make daylight saving time permanent in 2023 (the "Sunshine Protection Act"). However the bill has still not passed through the House of Representatives or the President. 

What's wrong with our sound system at church? 

Part of the problem we are hearing in church and on the livestream is a "noise gate" opening and closing.  A noise gate is used to mask the hiss that derives from having microphones gained up and ready to capture quiet inputs. This was sadly not configured appropriately before the system went live and we are working to correct the problem with our original vendor and/or find another qualified team to calibrate this and other issues we are experiencing. We are working towards a solution as soon as possible, understanding that it has been bothersome for many these past several weeks. Thank you for your patience, please continue to look here for weekly updates about our progress.

FEELING HOPELESS OR POWERLESS?

There are times when our personal lives or the world around us convince us that we are powerless over any of it. Come to Adult Education after the 10 am service on Sunday when Mother Lyn will help us explore what Jesus and Hawaiian spirituality have to say about it all. Rediscover that we are powerful people who can make a real difference in life. Jesus said, “ …the one who believes in me, will also do the works that I do and in fact will do greater works than these.” John 14:12
