Daughter's of the King Chapter is Installed at All Saints'
Mana'olana, which means "hope" in Hawaiian, is the name of the newly installed All Saints' chapter of The Order of the Daughter's of the King (DOK). The ceremony took place during the 9:30 service this past Sunday, March 1, with members being blessed and welcomed by Shauna Jones, a board member of the diocesan DOK and chair of the St. Nicholas Chapter on O'ahu.
Linda Crocker, who has been a member of the DOK on the mainland, introduced All Saints' members to the Order during the Ministry Fair on Homecoming Sunday, and is this chapter's president. "We're about prayer and service," said Linda, and welcomes all interested women to inquire and join the group. They plan to meet regularly about twice a month.
There are currently four other chapters in the Diocese of Hawai'i, and the All Saints' Chapter makes it five. The national DOK mission is "... the extension of Christ's Kingdom through Prayer, Service and Evangelism." To learn more about DOK, visit the Diocesan website HERE, and also the national organization's website HERE.
Pictured above are the members of Mana'olana, (L-R) Robyn Putman, who is the Secretary & Treasurer, Fr. Ryan, President Linda Crocker, Diocesan Representative Shauna Jones, Mabel Antonio and Jan Hashizume.

March Saturday Market:
Going Green!
Vendor Registration Is Open
The next Saturday Market will be taking place on March 14, and it's all about recycling!

Along with our regular crafters, vendors that sell craft items made from recycled or repurposed materials are invited to participate for free!
The youth and ECW will also be raising funds for Relay for Life, so come and show your support.
Saturday Markets are a great time to turn your "trash into cash"! While you're doing some Spring cleaning, why not set up a booth and sell those items you no longer use.

2015 Relay for Life Fundraising
Luminarias on Sale After Sunday Services!
The Ke Akua Youth Group and ECW are teaming up again to raise funds for the American Cancer Society, and participating in this year's Relay for Life at Hanapepe on April 25-26. Last year, they set a personal team record raising over $4,000! We are once again asking for your support to help raise funds in a variety of ways:
Purchase a luminaria! Luminarias will be on sale after Sunday services for $5.00 each. You can choose to decorate your own bag with the name of a loved one that has battled or is battling cancer, or the youth will decorate one for you.
Make an online donation! Visit the Relay for Life website HERE and be sure to donate to the All Saints Angels team!
Visit our fundraising booth! We will have a booth at the next two Saturday Markets on March 14 and April 11. We will have luminarias and a variety of theme items for sale. |

Third Sunday of Lent
Almighty God, you know that we have no power in ourselves to help ourselves: Keep us both outwardly in our bodies and inwardly in our souls, that we may be defended from all adversities which may happen to the body, and from all evil thoughts which may assault and hurt the soul; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Book of Common Prayer, p 218
