Announcements From Fr. Ryan on Music and Dodgeball
Aloha All Saints' 'Ohana,
Since November 2014, Hank Curtis has been serving All Saints' as our "Interim" Director of Music Ministries. During these nine months, Hank has beautifully begun to transform All Saints' music ministries.
Members and visitors alike often comment on the profound sense of "joy" present in our Sunday worship services, especially through our music program. Hank's leadership and mentorship have been vital in reshaping and growing the All Saints' Choir. Hank's presence at All Saints' and his extraordinary musical gifts are also attracting other musicians and music lovers to the Church through programs like the Kauai Island Singer Showcase (KISS). Hank is a wonderful blessing and addition to the All Saints' 'Ohana.
I am honored to share that we are removing the "interim" label as Hank Curtis is now the All Saints' Director of Music Ministries! On behalf of the whole All Saints' 'Ohana, I can say that we look forward to the continued growth and evolution of the music ministries at All Saints'. Mahalo to Hank for sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ through the gift of music.
This July 24 & 25, the All Saints' FiF Dodgeball Tournament celebrates a major milestone ---10 years! Thousands of youth and those "young-at-heart" have enjoyed the annual dodgeball festivities. The tournament has been successfully led by Sybil Nishioka for the past 10 years. Aunty Sybil and her army of volunteers work tirelessly behind the scenes to make the event so successful.
Aunty Sybil has shared her intentions to step-down from chairing the FiF Dodgeball Tournament after this year's event. We completely understand and support Aunty Sybil's desire to focus on other ministries. 10 years of running a ministry is a long time. We are so grateful for her vision, service, and dedication. Mahalo Aunty Sybil!
This is a wonderful case-study and opportunity for our All Saints' 'Ohana in lay leadership and transition. If our ministries are going to continue thriving, we need to be cultivating and training new leaders. Without leadership, it will be difficult to continue the FiF Dodgeball Tournament beyond this year.
If All Saints' wants to continue the FiF Dodgeball Tournament beyond this year, we (ideally) need two people who are willing to serve as the event's co-chairs for at least the next two years. Aunty Sybil is willing to train the new co-chairs and transitioning them into the role. It would be ideal to have the co-chairs identified before the start of this year's tournament to assist with the transition process.
If you are interested in learning more about the roles and responsibilities, please let Sybil or me know.
Faithfully,
The Rev. Ryan D. Newman

Heavenly Hikes Returns to the Kuilau Trail
July's Heavenly Hike will take the group up into the mountains of Wailua near the Keahua Arboretum on the well-maintained Kuilau Ridge Trail. The hike will offer some gorgeous views of Mount Waialeale and the Makaleha Mountain Range. The wide dirt trail gradually ascends above the forest to a grassy plateau and picnic area about 1.7 miles into the hike--- a wonderful location to enjoy lunch! The total trip will be approximately 4.5 - 5 miles round trip (Rating: Moderately easy with some elevation gain). If time allows, afterwards, individuals can wander to the nearby Keahua Arboretum to check out the amazing rainbow eucalyptus trees and jump in the mountain spring waterhole.
All are welcome! Those interested in joining the hike can meet after the second service at 11:45 AM in the Church parking lot to carpool or can meet the group at the trail head at noon. However, parking is very limited, so we encourage participants to carpool.

Volunteer Sign Up Sheets at Sunday Services!
If you'd like to volunteer for Laundry Love Kauai that takes place every first and third Wednesdays of the month, sign-up in the Laundry Love Manual that will be on the entrance table during Sunday services. Folks can sign up to volunteer for specific dates and roles on the volunteer sign-up sheets, and also peruse the operating instructions that contain the responsibilities for each role.
A few volunteers have already decided which roles they like best, and others are still trying out different areas. Even if all roles are taken on a specific date you are interested in helping at, please show up and help as a Love Ambassador. (There is no limit to the number of Love Ambassadors at any session.) These are our all-around workers who not only interact with patrons, but are key to the smooth flow of the operation, transferring laundry from one area to another. Love Ambassadors are especially needed to help with folding and bagging when a load is done.
All are welcome to take part in this rewarding outreach ministry. For more information, visit the LLK webpage HERE. |
