Proper 18
Grant us, O Lord, to trust in you with all our hearts; for, as
you always resist the proud who confide in their own strength,
so you never forsake those who make their boast of your
mercy; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns
with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
Amen.
- Book of Common Prayer

'Iolani Guild's Autumn Luncheon
to Feature Speaker Monson
On Saturday, September 6, the 'Iolani Guild will be holding their first meeting of the academic year with a presentation by Valerie Monson. Monson has been a reporter for The Maui News since 1989, covering the ongoing history of Kalaupapa and its residents. She is also a founding member of the nonprofit oganization Ka 'Ohana O Kalaupapa, established in 2003, dedicated to promoting the values and dignity of every individual who was exiled to the Kalaupapa Peninsula beginning in 1866. She will share her extensive knowledge of Kalaupapa and Queen Lili'uokalani's visits, and will also have some of the Ku'e Petitions on display. These are signatures of protest against the takeover of the Hawaiian Kingdom by Hawaiian patriots. The meeting will be held at The Cathedral of St. Andrew in the Von Holt Room, from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM. A potluck lunch will also take place. For more information, e-mail Ann Hansen. __________________________________ |

Movie Nights on the Lawn: Kapa'a, Kaua'i
Folks on Kaua'i will be shaking off the sand from their beach chairs and gozas, and set up on the All Saints lawn on the evenings of September 12, 27 and October 18. Since 2010, All Saints' Church in Kapa'a has been offering up free movies on a giant 30' screen under the stars during the months of September and October. It's always a double-feature with the first film geared towards the young and "young at heart", and the second movie a blockbuster action or drama for teens and adults. At the last movie night in 2013, over 400 people gathered on the lawn, arriving over an hour before sunset to grab a good spot and eat dinner.
The Ke Akua Youth Group spearheads this event and runs the concession that offers up dollar hotdogs, chili, popcorn and loaded hot chocolate, donated by Hale Lani Christian Store. The community looks forward to this all year with grateful hearts. "We can't afford to take the whole family to the theater," said one parent, "here I can feed everyone for under $10 AND watch movies!" All proceeds from the concession goes towards the youth group's outreach and mission activities. For more information and to view the movie line-up, visit the webpage HERE.__________________________________

OUTREACH SPOTLIGHT:

Episcopal Churches Partnering up with
Family Promise
In 2005, Family Promise of Hawai'i was founded, introducing an innovative program that was started in New Jersey, and now has over 180 affiliates in 41 states. The program is designed to help families with children escape homelessness and transition to sustainable independence.
In 2006, Family Promise of Hawai'i opened their first Family Center in Kailua, and two years later opened a second center in Honolulu. They develop, train and support a network of interfaith congregations. Host congregations house 3-5 families for a week, four times a year, by providing a safe place to sleep, breakfast and dinner each day, and generous hospitality that can include games, fellowship and help with homework. There are also support congregations that assist host congregations by providing some meals and volunteers.
During the day, guests work, pursue employment, attend school, or enroll in job training. The two Family Centers provide them with access to phones, mail, fax, a copier, showers and laundry facilities, along with transportation to and from the centers. The program boasts a high rate of success, with over 80% of families transitioning out of homelessness and into housing in 3 - 4 months.
On the windward side of O'ahu, St. John's By-the Sea and St. Christopher's are both host churches, and Emmanuel is a support congregation. In Honolulu, The Cathedral of St. Andrew, St. Clement's, St. Luke's and St. Mark's are all support congregations, providing food and volunteers to help these families.
With the number of homeless growing in Hawai'i, and the controversy over how to deal with this issue making the news nearly everyday, it is great to know that so many of our churches in the Diocese actively support different programs and organizations like Family Promise. With a little bit of help and compassion, families that have fallen on hard times are able to regain control over their lives and provide stability for their children. If you would like to learn more about Family Promise or to help or donate, visit their website HERE. Perhaps consider being a host congregation or supporting one! Just ask one of our participating churches about their involvement and how you can help!
In the pictures above, members of St. John's By-the-Sea in Kaneohe set up Ho'okano Hall in preparation for their guest families, and below that, the completed "walls". Photos from the St. John's By-the-Sea website. |
