Coming soon!
The Bishop’s Bible Study Beginning December 2:
The Gospel According to Mark
Bishop Bob will again be offering his weekly online reflection on a book of the Bible beginning on the first Wednesday in Advent, December 2, 2020. Over the following weeks, he will walk through the Gospel according to Mark. These twenty-minute reflections can be part of individual study and prayer, or they can be used as part of a small group study (perhaps for a Bishop’s Committee/Vestry as a shared study).
As preparation for this time together, Bishop Bob invites everyone (lay and clergy) in the Diocese to read a chapter of Mark out loud everyday from today until December 2. There are only 16 chapters, so if you start right away, you can actually read it through almost twice (although you will need to double up on a few days, but try to get through the Gospel twice). Remember, though written down, Scripture was meant to be read aloud in the community. The Bishop particularly thinks a believer can get much more out of Mark’s Gospel if it is read out loud. Right now, he and Bea are reading a chapter of Mark every night. Join the journey through the Gospel according to Mark.

Our Welcome Team ministry is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
Please join us at noon on Thanksgiving Day to say ALOHA to all of your church family and friends you've been unable to visit with since the pandemic. This is not a church service, just a meeting of Holy Apostles' family and friends. No agenda, just a chance to get re-acquainted, share greetings, your thoughts, and a "virtual" hug. Among the most important things we have to be thankful for is each other!
Just click on link below, look good, and have your audio turned on! We'll be able to see and hear each other!
For those of you on the mainland and in the U.K., please note that the time is noon, Hawaii time. We've missed seeing all of you!!
No password required!

Stewardship Campaign 2021-Thank you for your pledges! |
|
Stewardship Season 2021 kicked off with the mailing of a pledge packet. So far 45 people have turned in their pledges. With God’s Help you are invited to take a moment to reflect on our individual and collective callings as members of the Body of Christ, and how we each are blessed by our Lord with gifts to seek and serve Christ in those around us.
Do not neglect to do good and who share what you have for such sacrifices are pleasing to God. Hebrews 13:16.

Next Sunday School class:
November 29 at 10:30am by Zoom
Greetings Sunday School families. The church year, which is different from the secular calendar year, is anchored by two major feasts: the birth of Jesus on Christmas and the resurrection of Jesus at Easter. We begin with Advent and move through the life of Jesus.
A tradition in Advent is to create an Advent wreath made with evergreen branches fashioned into a circle with four candles, one for each of the week in Advent. The lighting of the candles reminds us of the coming of God's promised light into the darkness of the world. This year, beginning on Sunday Nov 29, light another Advent candle on your family wreath and watch the light grow as we get closer to celebrating the birth of Jesus.
"The people walking in darkness have seen a great light. On those living in a pitch-dark land, light has dawned."--Isaiah 9:2
First Week of Advent
-Light one candle
Family Prayer: "As we light the first candle of the Advent wreath, we give thanks for the great light of the world, your Son, Jesus, who is our light in the world so that we no longer walk in darkness. May our lives be a light to others. Amen"
