Friends, as of this publication, we haven’t found anyone to take over the coordination of our weekly newsletter. Sybil Nishioka will continue to publish a monthly newsletter and maintain the website /social media, until we have someone in place to assist or take over some of the communication responsibilities. If you are interested in helping with any aspect of communications, please contact Pastor Gae, and she will put you in touch with Sybil for training. Communications can all be handled remotely.

In the meantime, our website has all the information on its home page to access Sunday services on Zoom with links to the Sunday Bulletin, Bible Study sessions, and Centering Prayer. Click on the website button below to go there now.

Marcie Sweet shared a tune she sings with her grandchildren as they are washing their hands. “Every little cell in my body is healthy, every little cell in my body is well.” Here’s the tune:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JOTK-6Jb0M

Catchy! What if not just little kids were singing it but us big kids as well? Energy flows where attention goes, right? What if it went viral and the whole world was singing it? COVID wouldn’t stand a chance!

One big blessing for our church that has come out of the struggle with the Covid Virus is the connection we have made via Zoom. Many folks who are either seasonal residents, timeshare residents, or even tourists consider us their church community. They can now be a more active part of our church. We have a Sunday worship service, two Bible studies, an Adult Confirmation class and Centering Prayer, made possible through Zoom.  Who knew! This has been a learning experience for us. The good news is that even after the virus crisis is over, we will continue many of our offerings on Zoom.

Here are some things everyone can do to help us all have the best experience possible:

Some of you have asked about the VICARAGE PROJECT. We want to reassure you that we haven’t given up the ghost. The virus slowed our momentum for the past couple of months but we are back on track.

Having a vicarage for a priest is essential for the future of our little church. When Pastor Gae arrived, full-time rental housing was very scarce on our side of the island. We didn’t know if she was going to have to live in Kapa’a or Lihue and commute. In the time that she has been here she has already had to move once.

We are currently looking at some architectural drawings. Stay tuned!

Centering Prayer is every Tuesday morning on Zoom, 9:00 - 9:45 am. We begin with a Scripture reading for the day followed by 12 minutes of meditation. Then a reflection is read and anyone who would like to share an insight is invited to do so. We finish with prayer time for those in need of healing.

Pastor Gae is gathering those who have never been confirmed; those who were confirmed in other denominations; and those who were confirmed as a pre-teen, for an on-line Zoom class. We are meeting weekly and following our Catechism found in the Book of Common Prayer.
