Celebrating Our Life Together at St. Tim’s

ALOHA! Well, beloved friends, it’s vacation time for me! I am currently off island until November 16. Dan and I are cruising around New Zealand, and I have very limited internet access. But you are in very good hands as Rev. Karen Swanson serves as our celebrant and preacher this Sunday, November 2, and Rev. David Ota on November 9.

If any need for pastoral care arises while I am away, please contact Paul Mahuka in the church office – 808-488-5747 – and he will reach out to our supply priests to respond as they are able.

This Sunday is All Saints Sunday, as well as our Stewardship Ingathering. After the service, led by Rev. Karen, we will enjoy a POTLUCK LUNCH to celebrate the ingathering in Sumida Hall. Please plan on bringing your most festive and delicious dishes to share as we celebrate our life together at St. Tim’s! Join us for worship on Sunday at 9 a.m. in the Chapel, or on Facebook Live.

Our guest preacher last Sunday was the Rev. Irene Maliaman, Vicar of St. John the Divine Episcopal Church in Tamuning, Guam, and Priest in Charge of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Saipan—our sister churches in the Diocese of Hawai‘i. I know you enjoyed her inspiring message. Mahalo, Rev. Irene!

Dear sisters and brothers, you are in my prayers, and I ask for your continuing prayers for St. Timothy’s Church, for our dedicated staff and devoted lay leaders and ministers, for your fellow members, and for your vicar. May God bless you and your loved ones always.
 
Aloha Ke Akua!
