Aloha our beloved Parish 'Ohana,

The Gospel lesson is this weekend is story of the raising of Lazarus. This story makes it clear to us that Jesus knew very well the fragile nature of human life. Jesus is deeply disturbed by the harsh reality of the death of his friend. There may be no more powerful line in all the gospels than that which we will hear this weekend: “Jesus wept.” Jesus’ raising of Lazarus is an act of divine power, the power of God over death. But it is also an act of love, an act of friendship for someone Jesus cared about who was held in the frightening grip of death.

As we draw closer to Holy Week and our remembering the last days of Jesus’ life, we are invited to reaffirm our belief in Jesus as the resurrection and the life. As scholar writes, "We are called to renew our trust that our bond with Christ and the bonds of faith and love that we forge with others will not be severed by death." Life is indeed fragile, and the experience of death and loss can be so harsh. But we believe in the crucified and risen Christ, the one who has power over death.

If you are grieving, hear the story of Lazarus. Know that Jesus grieves with you. Know that we, the church, the Body of Christ, we grieve with you.

Know also that as powerful as the story of Lazarus is, we are invited to hear it in the context of the whole of the story of Jesus — the story that will be told over Holy Week and Easter. The rest of the story tells us why, as the Burial Liturgy states, even at the grave “we make our song, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.”

We continue to provide the option to join in worship online, at the beach in the open air, broadcast over FM radio so you may stay in your car, and in the church. In the church we are keeping the windows and doors open for better air flow in the church. This means you may want to wear a jacket or bring a lap blanket, as it has been chilly in Waimea. Ultimately, you must do what you feel comfortable doing to feel safe. Those at higher risk are strongly encouraged to wear a mask. We are offering the chalice of wine. However, be reminded that receiving in "one kind" (bread only) is understood as full communion.

Three ways to join in worshiping virturally

The Sunday School found a place to set up their classes and the children's voices singing and laughing were music to our ears. Thank you to Vickie Wangberg and Sherry Dupaya for all the work and love they put in to setting up the Sunday School. You are so appreciated!

As we continue to follow the story of Jesus' life from birth to his final walk to Jerusalem during this time of Lent leading towards the joy of Easter which is, of course, Christ risen. Our story in Godly Play was about the cross, how the sadness of Jesus' dying on the cross turns into pure joy and celebration of Christ Risen. In our craftwork we worked with different crosses from around the wold from different times and cultures. The keiki were deeply engaged and had a hearty conversation around Jesus' walk and his being with us always.

I will be on vacation and out of the country until March 24th. Godly Play will still be available on Sunday with a fantastic lineup of Stories to help prepare us for Easter. Laura Williams, Debi Brun, Michael Thompson, and Maureen McLaughlin are filling in for me in my absence and you probably won’t even know I am out. And mark your calendar for “Easter on the Green” Easter Sunday, April 9th. We have some very exciting things planned after church and this will be a wonderful family event for our church.

Blessings,

MAHALO TO OUR SPONSORS:

Waimea Veterans Group

and

Parker & Campbell Rose



From Sue

From Keiki to Kupuna

As we served up meals last night, both our sponsors were on hand and I realized Parker and Campbell Rose are our “youngest” sponsors (your parents are doing a wonderful job raising you both) and the Waimea Veterans Group are our “oldest” sponsors (Mahalo for your years of service).  

I can’t thank everyone enough for stepping up, because of all of you I know I’ll be back to my full potential sooner than later.😊  Gregory and Janice are HUGE part of that along with the staff of St James and the Community Meal volunteers, as they have eyes on me ALL the time!  

So, the meal was Korean style bulgogi with rice and lots of ono veggies! Mahalo to Costco for the huge donation of the bulgogi meat that Gregory and Janice cut all on Wednesday.  The Wok Crew did the cooking of the meat on Thursday. MUCH MAHALO to John Koga, Sean, Warren and Mel Probe (a Waimea Veterans sponsor) and his grandson.  They did a quick job of cooking up 10 pans of bulgogi meat!  Stanley couldn’t be there, but he trained them well! By the time I got to the pavilion they had 4 roasters all done and were moving right along. 

I had to make a run to Kohala to pick up the bean sprouts and I knew the morning crew would be in good hands with both Gregory and Janice in there.  They got the cucumbers speared, tomatoes wedged, cabbage shredded and cookies packed.  By the time I got to the kitchen, rice was being made into balls by mid-crew, Barbara and Deb.  Since I couldn’t do much lifting, Janice remembered our containers needed foiling, so that was my job for the afternoon until it was time to pack, and I went back to snapping and passing the trays along.   Would like to give a shout out to Stanley and Eddie Cordeiro from Waimea Veterans Group who helped us pack 700 meals to 85 cars.  

Must not forget our pavilion/traffic crew, who are our front line volunteers. They packed 80 bags of produce. Which this week we had and abundance, and once again MAHALO to Eddie who is TEPA FARMS where we get our lettuce from every week!  It must be spring as the cucumbers and tomatoes are coming in hot. 😊Mahalo to Hawaii Farms Inc and Kawamata Tomatoes, HuluHulu Farm, REAL FARMS, HPA Gardens and Ric Rocker for this week’s produce.

The packing/clean up crew are amazing. Janice has them trained well, once she gets them started they are like a well-oiled machine. Mahalo to a great crew!  The car hops were the Rose Family and Eddie from the Veterans Group.  They all had a blast out there with Dagan Bernstein providing the beautiful music last night.  

There is one person I would love to give a HUGE HUGE HUGE SHOUT OUT TO and that is our Sexton FRANKIE PANG!! I hope Paul got a picture of him; it was the first time I had seen him lying on the job!  A well-deserved break 😊

Next week is St James’ 110^th Birthday Celebration!  It will be a sit-down meal and drive thru. As always the sit-down is in the pavilion 4:30 - PM with music, food and fellowship and this time there will be CAKE!!  

To make this possible we do need help with the most important shift: CLEAN UP.  The Drive-thru crew cannot take on the clean up for the pavilion. They are done at 6pm and to have them stay another hour is asking a lot.  So, I’m doing a call out to help us out with this shift, we need help from 5 PM to 7 PM.  If you would like to be of service to the Community Meal and can help out with this shift. It is only on the last Thursday of the month. The Community Meal Committee would greatly appreciate the help.  Please contact Dayna at eatwaimea@stjameshawaii.org.  

Mahalo to ALL who volunteer, deliver, donate, and sponsor to this AMAZING ministry. 

Can you believe we are on our 7^th year?! And already we have served over 8,000 meals for 2023.  We, the Community Meal Committee, cannot do this without ALL who participate.  Mahalo for helping us “Build Community One Meal At A Time”

Smiles,

Sue

COMING NEXT WEEK

St. James' 110th Anniversary!

We will have a Special Sit-Down Community Meal on March 30, celebrating St. James’ 110^th anniversary.



We are looking for pavilion community meal volunteers to help with clean up from 5 PM to 7 PM. If you can help, Please contact Dayna HERE or by calling the office.

We will also have some old picture albums for you to look at and some post-it notes for you to add memories or names to any that you remember!

SPONSORS NEEDED

The Community Meal is in need of sponsorships. Sponsors are an integral part of Waimea Community Meal’s success. Every $600 provides a delicious and nutritious community meal for 350 people. If you are interested in sponsoring a meal, or know of an organization who might be interested, please contact Tim Bostock at: timbostock808@gmail.com

Come and shop our Easter Goodies!

Mahalo to our great volunteers!

James 2:14-26 ESV

What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. ...

Prayer, Fasting, and Almsgiving during Lent

Like most Catholics and many other Christians, growing up I tended to approach the months leading up to Lent with a mild sense of dread. I looked forward to Easter, but not to Friday: fasting, prayer services, and giving some of my allowance. Later, with a wife and three children, we discovered a family Lenten formation program called “Operation Rice Bowl,” run by an organization we were vaguely aware of called Catholic Relief Services (CRS).

Somewhat to my surprise, God had a Lenten plan for me. Thirteen years ago I joined the staff of CRS and became responsible for overseeing a bunch of programs, including “Operation Rice Bowl.” I learned that Rice Bowl engages millions of U.S. Catholics and other people of goodwill in prayer, fasting, and almsgiving.

Leaning into this role, I came to understand that Lent was first and foremost a chance for Christians to take stock of our relationship with God and to seek Jesus in the face of each other. Instead of feeling mildly guilty during Lent, we can make more space in our hearts, minds, and bodies for the presence of Jesus’s healing for our brokenness. And it was about converting our Lenten prayer and fasting into tangible gifts so we can help spread God’s love to our “neighbors” locally and around the world who are struggling. Giving alms during Lent becomes a tangible expression of our prayer.

My organization deeply appreciates the $12 million raised each year from millions of Catholics and other people of goodwill during Lent, because it allows us to fund antihunger programs around the world and in the United States. But it is even more valuable when the giving is part of a deeper and more personal Lenten experience of prayer and fasting. Those elements move us from a simple act of charity to a moment of real solidarity with some 800 million of our brothers and sisters around the world who are praying to the same God but go to bed during Lent without enough food to eat.

Senior Director for U.S. Programs and Resources for Catholic Relief Services

SUNDAY SERVICE

Mahalo to Vickie Wangberg who led us in music for the Liturgy of the Word, we then sang acapella for the Liturgy of the Table. We sounded wonderful!

We welcomed our Rector, David, for our first worship service off site. It was such a treat to have him worshiping with us. Thank you, FDavid, for offering the Good News, it was a blessing. We are so grateful to be a part of St. James' Parish. We are so blessed.

Due to St. Columba's Renovation for Mission and Outreach, the congregation is worshiping off site at St. Joseph Parish Hall across the street. It is a lovely space, and we are extremely thankful that St. Joseph is willing to share it with us. 

St. Columba's Lenten Study began Wednesday March 1st. with potluck pupu's at 5 PM followed by the study from 5:30 to 7 PM. We will be meeting at the St. Joseph's Parish Hall, across from St. Columba's.



We are offering the DVD Eyewitness Bible Series covering the book of Acts, for our Lenten Study. The series is a fascinating behind-the-scenes study of the people and stories that are bedrock to the Christian faith, ancient stories that still echo with deep significance for today's world through eyewitness accounts.

The series of narrations are an exploration of Scripture to empower your faith. Acts is a history of the first three decades of the Church. It is the only existing history of the Church that was written in the first century. Although the Bible does not specify it, Church tradition and many scholars agree that Luke wrote both Luke and Acts. A purpose of the Acts Series is to tell some of the information of the book of Acts from different vantage points. The series illustrates the stories that Luke might have heard from a dozen of the characters featured in his book of Acts. 

Update on the “Renovations for Mission & Outreach” at St. Columba’s

From Brian Burke

Aloha Dear Parish Family,

The St. Columba’s renovation continues on track. 

Main work focus during the past week has been on plumbing and electrical systems. Demolition of original systems is nearly complete and there have been no discoveries of significant issues for the renovation.

Codes and practices have changed since the church was built and we’re meeting tomorrow to weigh solution options for meshing old and new components for plumbing and for electrical.

The picture shows our new outdoor electric power supply panel array. The original service was 2-phase and the building was not grounded anything close to what current code requires. The new electrical components are upgrading to 3-phase power and all new work will include significantly improved grounding.

Feel free to contact me anytime.

Peace to you from Brian and Gael Burke.

St. James’ Lenten Study Concludes this Wednesday, 5:30 PM

“Everyone wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to go now.”

– Kenney Chesney”

“Release.” This past Wednesday, Hospice chalain Vicki Farley helped us think about what’s it looks like to release our worries and fears about death and focus on that for which we are thankful. She asked us to think about to whom we need to say, “Thank You.” Utilizing the story of Simon of Cyrene, who helped Jesus carry the cross, she invited us to think about hope we say thank you to those who have walked with us. 

We also talked about the practical aspects of thanking someone who has agreed to speak for us in our last days.; someone who will seek to fulfill our wishes but medically and other wants at and after our deaths. What does it look like to release our care into someone else’s hands?

At this, our last session, we’ll focus on saying, “I love you.” The love of God is sacrificial love. What does it look like to offer words of love that’s someone’s night be needing to hear from you? Hope does this help bring healing and wholeness? How does our faith shape our words?

Utilizing four moments in the hours leading up to Jesus’ death, Chaplain Vicki is focusing on how they relate to us. Each night will also incorporate the practical aspects of end-of-life issues, making clear our wishes. The aim of these gatherings is that in addressing the reality that we will all one day die, we can live more intentionally, being freed from our concerns both spiritually and practically. Wednesdays, 5:30 – 7 PM at St. James’ with Holden Evening Prayer and Soup Supper. You are invited to bring soup, salad, and/or bread to share.
