what's happening at St. Timothy'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! Fr. Pete+

ALOHA! I’m very excited to tell you that our guest preacher this Sunday will be the Rev. Irene Egmalis Maliaman. Rev. Irene is Vicar of St. John the Divine Episcopal Church in Tamuning, Guam, and Priest in Charge of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Saipan. Earlier this year, St. Timothy’s sent a donation to Rev. Irene to support her ministry there. We are so honored to have her with us while she is on O‘ahu for Annual Convention, and we look forward to learning more about her work in that part of the Diocese of Hawai‘i. Rev. Irene is just a delight and I’m honored to be her clergy colleague. So let’s welcome Rev. Irene! Join us for worship on Sunday at 9 a.m. in the Chapel, or on Facebook Live. LAST SUNDAY we considered how we might see hope as resistance against the evil in this world, and how we might be persistent witnesses to God’s love amidst the chaos all around us. We heard Jeremiah 31:27-34; 2 Timothy 3:14—4:5; and the parable of the persistent widow in Luke 18:1-8, and we sought to find ways to trust God no matter what is happening around us. So, have you found reasons for hope in this past week? How are you persisting in prayer? And have you considered shining a single candle light in a window as a reminder that despair does not have the last word? THIS SUNDAY we will conclude our Adult Sunday School class, “Heart and Soul: The Emotions of Jesus.” Our topic this week is JOY. Yes, Jesus was a “man of sorrows,” but if we study the gospels carefully, we can see joy shine through his life and teachings. How did Jesus experience joy? What does he teach us about this emotion? Join us for some stimulating conversation during our final session. LOOKING AHEAD—There’s a Lot Going On Here!
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! Fr. Pete+ ALOHA! As the news headlines speak of hopeful peace settlements after so many fragile ceasefires and uneasy truces, our hearts still ache for peace, for the people of the Middle East and for all places where peace has seemed so fleeting. Even here at home, we continually struggle with loss and fear. In such times, it can feel as though our prayers and efforts are too small to matter. But Jesus reminds us that even the smallest act of faith — a mustard seed of hope, a cup of cold water, a word of kindness — carries the power of God’s love into the world. So let us be persistent witnesses for that love! When peace seems tenuous, we keep praying for it. When hope feels thin, we embody it. When fear rises, we answer with compassion. Every gesture of care, every choice for understanding rather than suspicion, becomes a seed for the flourishing of God’s Kingdom. So, hold fast to hope, beloved. The world needs your quiet light. THIS SUNDAY we’ll explore what all this means—how we might see hope as resistance against the evil in this world, and how we might be persistent witnesses to God’s love amidst the chaos around us. We’ll take a look at Jeremiah 31:27-34; 2 Timothy 3:14—4:5; and the parable of the persistent widow in Luke 18:1-8 to find ways to trust God no matter what is happening around us. So please join us for worship on Sunday at 9 a.m. in the Chapel, or on Facebook Live. LAST SUNDAY we delved into Luke 17:11-19, the story of Jesus’ healing of the ten lepers. Only one, a Samaritan, returns to Jesus to offer his heartfelt gratitude. This one man’s example can teach us a lot about how to live a life of gratitude, and how we might be better stewards of our gratitude. Have we been mindfully expressing our gratitude for all the big and little things in life that God so graciously and generously shares with us? And how can we express that gratitude by giving of our time, talent, and treasure? I hope we’ll all keep pondering these things! THIS SUNDAY we will also resume our Adult Sunday School class, “Heart and Soul: The Emotions of Jesus.” Our topic this week is GRIEF. Many of us are dealing with this emotion as we navigate the losses of our lives. What can Jesus teach us about handling our grief through his own example and his teachings? We’ll explore this together. Then our final session will be on October 26 as we focus on JOY. LOOKING AHEAD—There’s a Lot Going On Here!
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! Fr. Pete+ ALOHA! Say, how are you doing? So many members of our St. Timothy’s family are dealing with a lot right now. And in the swirl of our daily life—with headlines of violence and political discord, the weight of medical concerns, financial worries, personal losses, and the constant thrum of stress—it’s easy to feel pulled apart. Our spirits grow weary, our sanity feels fragile. Yet the invitation of Christ is simple and steady: “Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.” Sanity and spirituality are not found in escaping this world, but in finding sacred pauses within it. A few deep breaths, a whispered prayer, a walk in the sunny breeze, a moment to notice the beauty all around us—these become small anchors for our souls. In these pauses, God’s peace can take root. Oh, dear friends, we cannot control the storms, but we can open our hearts to the One who speaks stillness into them. That’s how we can find strength, peace, and hope to keep walking in faith, day by day. And being involved with our St. Timothy’s ‘ohana each week can be a nourishing part of that walk of life. And speaking of uplifting and nourishing, didn’t we have a fantastic celebration of the Feast of St. Francis and the Blessing of the Animals last Sunday? We offered many blessings for our beloved pets—about a dozen pets were with us in person, dogs, a cat, and a turtle! And two dozen pets were blessed via photos. What a joy it was! In the sermon we explored Luke 12:13-21, and the example of St. Francis. We considered what our pets can teach us, and how St. Francis’ ministry can guide us today, especially in how we care for all of God’s creation. If you have a pet, what have they shown you this past week about living in God’s creation? THIS SUNDAY we will delve into Luke 17:11-19, the story of Jesus’ healing of the ten lepers. Only one, a Samaritan, returns to Jesus to offer his heartfelt gratitude. What does his example teach us about how to live a life of gratitude, and how might we be better stewards of our gratitude? Let’s find out! Please join us for worship on Sunday at 9 a.m. in the Chapel, or on Facebook Live. THIS SUNDAY the Daughters of the King will have their monthly class in the Takafuji Room starting at 10:30 a.m. Anyone is invited to participate. We will not have our Adult Sunday School class on “Heart and Soul: The Emotions of Jesus” this Sunday, but will gather again on October 19 to focus on the topic of GRIEF. 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! Fr. Pete+ ALOHA! This Sunday is a special day in the church. We’ll celebrate the Feast of St. Francis and the Blessing of the Animals, so please plan on bringing your beloved pets to the 9 a.m. service, leashed or in a crate or carrier. Or if you prefer, you can bring photos! We’ll offer a prayer for each one. And if you have friends and neighbors who would like to have their pets blessed, why not invite them? All are welcome at St. Timothy’s! In the sermon, we’ll consider what our pets can teach us and how St. Francis’ ministry can guide us today, especially in how we care for all of God’s creation. Please join us for worship on Sunday at 9 a.m. in the Chapel, or on Facebook Live. THIS SUNDAY we’ll also continue our Adult Sunday School series, “Heart and Soul: The Emotions of Jesus.” By looking at key moments surrounding Jesus’ birth, life, death, and resurrection through the lens of human emotions, our understanding of Jesus can come alive. This week we’ll consider the emotion of Fear—how Jesus experienced it and what he taught about it. Join us for an interesting, fun, and stimulating session! LAST SUNDAY we dug into Jeremiah 32:1-3a,6-15; Psalm 91:1-6; and Luke 16:19-31 and discovered how important the idea of “home” is in the Scriptures. Home is more than the four walls around us. Home is where the hope is! It’s the place where we are known, accepted, and rooted. We asked, how might we trust that we always have a home with God, who in turn calls us to open our own homes in hospitality and love? I hope you are experiencing dwelling with God wherever you are this week! As you know, it seems that in recent weeks several among us at St. Timothy’s have faced illness, surgery, loss, and other personal challenges. These moments remind us how delicate and precious life truly is—how quickly the ground beneath us can shift. And yet, even in life’s fragility, God’s mercy holds us steady. God is our foundation and our strength. The Bible tells us that “underneath are the everlasting arms” (Deut. 33:27). When one of us feels weak or suffers, the whole community gathers close, bearing one another up in prayer, presence, and love. It is in these small but holy gestures— a phone call, a meal, a quiet word of encouragement— that God’s strength is revealed. So let us keep one another in prayer in these days, trusting that Christ walks with us through shadow and light alike. And let us remember that even in the frailty of our human lives, hope rises: God’s love does not falter, and in that love we are bound together, always. Amen! And while you’re praying for your brothers and sisters here at St. Tim’s, please include me as I undergo a surgical procedure next Tuesday. I will rest at home on Wednesday. Lord willing, I will be fine, but will not be able to lift or exert myself for a couple of weeks. Mahalo for your prayers! 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! Fr. Pete+ ALOHA! Well, did you notice we have entered the season of autumn this week? Here in Hawai‘i, the turning of the seasons doesn’t bring the fiery leaves or brisk winds that our mainland friends expect in the fall. The air is still warm, the trade winds steady, the trees mostly green. And yet, if we pay attention, we can sense the change. The mornings may be a degree or two cooler, the sun sets a little earlier, the light softens in the evenings. Certain blossoms fade, while others quietly take their place. Even the ocean carries a different mood, shifting with the rhythms of creation. Fall reminds us that God’s Spirit is always moving, even in subtle ways. Change does not always come with fanfare; sometimes it whispers. As a church, we are called to notice these quiet shifts—in our community, as well as in our hearts—and to give thanks that God is present in every season, guiding us with grace into what comes next. LAST SUNDAY we pondered one of Jesus’ stranger parables as recorded in Luke 16:1-13—the Parable of the Dishonest Manager. It sounded like this crook was praised by Jesus for ripping off his boss! So what is Jesus telling us about the Kingdom of God in this odd story? Well, we considered that perhaps Jesus was focusing on forgiving the debts of others. And we asked ourselves, who do I need to forgive? And who do I need to ask to forgive me? I hope we’ll all keep these questions in mind day by day, as forgiveness is vitally important for a growing spiritual life. THIS SUNDAY we’ll dig into Jeremiah 32:1-3a,6-15; Psalm 91:1-6; and Luke 16:19-31 and discover how important the idea of “home” is in the Scriptures. Home is more than the four walls around us. Home is where the hope is! It’s the place where we are known, accepted, and rooted. What happens when we lose that sort of place? And how might we trust that we always have a home with God, who calls us to open our own homes in hospitality and love? Let’s see what we can find out for living our lives as Jesus’ followers. THIS SUNDAY we’ll also continue our Adult Sunday School series, “Heart and Soul: The Emotions of Jesus.” By looking at key moments surrounding Jesus’ birth, life, death, and resurrection through the lens of human emotions, our understanding of Jesus can come alive. This week we’ll consider the emotion of Anger. Join us for an interesting, fun, and stimulating session! So please join us for worship on Sunday at 9 a.m. in the Chapel, or on Facebook Live.
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! Fr. Pete+ ALOHA! Sundays are a wonderful time of worship and fellowship when we all gather here at St. Timothy’s. But are you aware just how busy our church campus is during the week? For instance, I have regular meetings with our church administrator, Paul Mahuka, and Bishop’s Warden Nancy Chun, as well as meetings with members and others. We have our outreach food distribution on Tuesdays (with volunteers stuffing grocery bags on Sunday mornings, others prepping for meals on every other Monday, and still others picking up groceries at the FoodBank on Wednesdays); our Zoom Bible Study on Wednesdays; various other meetings on important aspects of life and ministry at St. Timothy’s; and this Saturday is our monthly Bishop’s Committee meeting while our diligent grounds crew tends the property as they do each week. Lots of busy volunteers! In addition to all that, the campus is buzzing with children playing and learning at Kama‘aina Kids preschool and Venture ABA, while meaningful and fun activities go non-stop in Sumida Hall with the Hale Hau‘oli Hawai‘i adult day care program, and more. In all these ways, God’s Spirit is alive and moving through our campus--not just on Sundays but every day of the week. Each meeting, each act of service, each moment of learning and laughter is part of the holy work to which Christ calls us. As we share our space and our lives with one another and with our neighbors, we bear witness to God’s love at the heart of our community. May we continue to see Jesus in all who enter our doors, and may our ministry together be a blessing to ‘Aiea and beyond. LAST SUNDAY we explored Luke 15:1-10, in which Jesus tells two brief parables about losing and finding things. If you have ever lost something of value to you, I know you too rejoiced when you finally found it! It’s a joyful discovery. So, have you been considering what these stories tell us about living in the kingdom of God here and now? And how we might experience the joy of the Lord more fully? THIS SUNDAY we will ponder one of Jesus’ stranger parables as recorded in Luke 16:1-13—the Parable of the Dishonest Manager. It sounds like this crook is praised by Jesus for ripping off his boss! So what is Jesus telling us about the Kingdom of God in this odd story? And does it have anything to do with forgiveness? Let’s find out! THIS SUNDAY we’ll also continue our Adult Sunday School series called “Heart and Soul: The Emotions of Jesus.” By looking at key moments surrounding Jesus’ birth, life, death, and resurrection through the lens of human emotions, our understanding of Jesus can come alive. How do the gospels reveal what kind of person he really was? How did he express his emotions? And how does a better understanding of his humanity help us build our own faith and identity? This week we’ll consider the emotion of LOVE. Join us for an interesting, fun, and stimulating session! COMING UP! We will celebrate the Feast of St. Francis and the Blessing of the Animals on Sunday, October 5, so please plan on bringing your beloved pets to the 9 a.m. service—in a crate or carrier or some other safe way. If you can’t bring your pet with you, you can certainly bring a photo! We’ll offer a prayer for each one and together we’ll consider how St. Francis’ ministry can guide us today. So please join us for worship on Sunday at 9 a.m. in the Chapel, or on Facebook Live. 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! Fr. Pete+ ALOHA! Last Sunday we launched our Stewardship Season with the theme “Shining Our Light.” David Caldwell, our Stewardship Team leader, introduced the campaign and over the next several weeks we’ll hear from other members of our church, leading up to our ingathering on November 2. We also sang our musician Zach Hamada’s beautiful new hymn, “You Are the Light.” Jesus tells us, “You are the light of the world… let your light shine before others.” At St. Timothy’s, this light of love shines through our worship, our care for one another, our outreach to the community, and our commitment to nurture faith in every generation. Stewardship is not simply about creating a budget; it’s about participating in God’s ongoing work of healing and hope inside and outside our church walls. So as we move forward together in this season, let us all embrace stewardship as a joyful response to God’s abundance. May our light shine brightly—individually and as a church—so that others may glimpse God’s love through us! LAST SUNDAY’S SERMON took us through a whole book of the Bible! Well, a very short book of 335 words in Greek—it’s Paul’s letter to his friend Philemon. Philemon’s slave, Onesimus, had escaped and been thrown into prison with Paul, where he became an ardent student of the way of Christ and was a big helper to Paul. Paul encouraged Philemon to accept Onesimus as his brother in the faith, and to set him free. And we asked ourselves, who is our Onesimus—who do we need to forgive in our lives? And who is our Philemon—from whom do we need forgiveness? Those are big questions, and I pray we all will continue to respond to them. THIS SUNDAY we’ll dig into Luke 15:1-10, in which Jesus tells two brief parables about losing and finding things. Have you ever lost something of value to you, and rejoiced when you finally found it? I have! It’s a joyful discovery. So, what do these stories tell us about living in the kingdom of God here and now? And how might we experience the joy of the Lord more fully? Let’s find out! THIS SUNDAY we also begin a special 6-session Adult Sunday School series called “Heart and Soul: The Emotions of Jesus.” I’ll be leading this series using the books The Passionate Jesus and Heart and Soul, which are available for those participating at no charge. By looking at key moments surrounding Jesus’ birth, life, death, and resurrection through the lens of human emotions, our understanding of Jesus can come alive. How do the gospels reveal what kind of person he really was? How did he express his emotions? And how does a better understanding of his humanity help us build our own faith and identity? We’ll explore the “Heart and Soul” of Jesus and find that he is truly passionate—not romantically, but as fully engaged and vibrant. Over these six weeks we’ll consider love, anger, fear, grief, and joy, and discover how Jesus experienced these emotions, how he responded to them, and what he taught about them. As a fully human person as well as fully divine, his authenticity provides a model for us to live fully as followers of Jesus. Join us for a fun and stimulating session! We’ll see you for worship on Sunday at 9 a.m. in the Chapel, or on Facebook Live.
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! Fr. Pete+ ALOHA! This Sunday we will launch our Stewardship Season with the theme “Shining Our Light.” David Caldwell, who heads our Stewardship Team, will introduce our campaign, which will continue with speakers from our parish for the next several weeks, leading up to our in-gathering on November 2. Stewardship is more than a season on the church calendar—it is a way of life. Jesus tells us, “You are the light of the world… let your light shine before others.” Each time we offer our prayers, our time, our gifts, and our resources, we are shining Christ’s light in a world that often feels shadowed by fear or need. At St. Timothy’s, this light shines through our worship, our care for one another, our outreach to the community, and our commitment to nurture faith in every generation. Stewardship is not simply about maintaining a budget; it is about participating in God’s ongoing work of healing and hope. Every pledge, every act of service, every moment of kindness becomes a reflection of the One who first gave himself for us. So as we move forward together in this season, let us all embrace stewardship as a joyful response to God’s abundance. May our light shine brightly—individually and as a church—so that others may glimpse God’s love through us! As part of our stewardship season this year, our amazing musician, Zachary Hamada, has composed a new hymn expressing the theme! It’s called “You Are the Light,” and he and our choir will sing it during the offertory on Sunday (and feel free to join in!). We are so grateful that Zach shares his creativity with us so generously. We all loved last year’s stewardship hymn, “Walk in Love,” and I’m sure his new one will find its place in our hearts as well. Watch Rev. Peter's Video inviting us into our season of stewardship as we "Shine Our Light"! https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1ArGYfTsMc/ LAST SUNDAY in worship, we explored Luke 14:7-14 and Hebrews 13:1-8,15-16. In Luke 14, we saw that Jesus seemed to offer etiquette lessons about attending banquets with rich people. But this isn’t just about good table manners, it’s a lesson about living here and now in the kingdom of God. We also learned more about how God’s kingdom works from the letter to the Hebrews: “Let mutual love continue. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it.” What angels have you been entertaining this past week, by serving and caring for others? THIS SUNDAY we’ll be doing something a little different: We’ll walk through a whole book of the Bible! Well, it’s a very short book of 335 words in Greek—it’s Paul’s letter to his friend Philemon. Philemon’s slave, Onesimus, had escaped, and had been thrown into prison with Paul, where he had become an ardent student of the way of Christ and was a big helper to Paul. So why is Paul writing to Philemon about him? And what does this ancient post card mean for us today? Let’s find out! Last Sunday, to conclude our series of Ministry Minutes, Adele Thomas shared about the Daughters of the King and their important ministry here at St. Tim’s. Please continue to keep all our ministries in your prayers, and ask God how you might become involved in one or more of them! Next week we’ll begin a series of stewardship talks by some of our members during the announcement time. So join us on Sunday at 9 a.m. in the Chapel, or worship with us on Facebook Live.
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, and for your vicar. May God bless you and your loved ones always. Aloha Ke Akua! Fr. Pete+ ALOHA! I had the joy of attending the Diocesan Clergy Conference earlier this week in Hilo on the Big Island. Wonderful times of inspiration, information, and fellowship with my clergy siblings. The sessions led by the Rev. Canon Chuck Robertson, Canon to the Most Rev. Sean Rowe, our presiding bishop, were immensely helpful—and it was good to see my old friend again. Much was discussed about the ongoing process to elect a new bishop for our Diocese; please keep the Search Committee and Standing Committee members in your prayers. As much of a blessing as that time was, I’m even more blessed to be back here! LAST SUNDAY in worship, we explored three powerful Scripture passages: Jeremiah 1:4-10, Psalm 71:1-6, and Luke 13:10-17, revealing three very different kinds of callings, but all echoing the same holy invitation: You are not too young, too old, or too bent for the work of God’s love and justice. Just as Jesus did for the bent-over woman, he can set us free! THIS SUNDAY we will focus on Luke 14:7-14 and Hebrews 13:1-8,15-16. Guess who’s coming to dinner? Jesus! In Luke 14, Jesus seems to be offering some etiquette lessons about attending banquets with rich people. But this isn’t just about good table manners, it’s a lesson about the kingdom of God. We’ll find out more about how God’s kingdom works from the letter to the Hebrews: “Let mutual love continue. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it”! How do we put this word to work in our lives? Let’s find out. THIS SUNDAY we’ll also continue our series of “Ministry Minutes” during the announcements time, to bring you up to date about the various ministries happening at St. Timothy’s. Last Sunday our Bishop’s Warden Nancy Chun spoke about our vision for a “Welcoming Hearts” Team of caring for visitors, new members, and those who need pastoral care. And this Sunday Adele Thomas will share about the Daughters of the King and their important ministry here at St. Tim’s. Please keep all our ministries in your prayers. And pray about how you might become involved in a ministry at St. Timothy’s. LAST SUNDAY after worship we had a special Adult Sunday School class on “Wai and Our Baptismal Covenant.” Participants talked about how our baptismal vows call us to care for our creation, including our water resources. Keep in mind we’re planning an Adult Sunday School series starting September 14 called “Heart and Soul: The Emotions of Jesus.” Find out how learning more about how Jesus experienced and expressed human emotions can help you become a more authentic follower of him. THIS SUNDAY, we are introducing some service music that may be new to us, but which a church I served used often, and they’re among my favorite pieces. We’ll be singing the Gloria and Sanctus composed by Tom Belt, and we’re going to try something we haven’t done for a while: singing his composition of the Lord’s Prayer. Before the service, we’ll run through the pieces to help you become familiar with them. My prayer is that they will bless you as they do me, and help guide our worship of our loving God. Join us on Sunday morning at 9 in the Chapel, or worship with us on Facebook Live. Dear sisters and brothers, you are in my prayers, and I ask for your prayers for St. Timothy’s Church, for our dedicated staff and devoted lay leaders and ministers, and for your vicar. May God bless you and your loved ones always.
Aloha Ke Akua! Fr. Pete+ |
