CHURCH EVENTS

Soup-er Bowl Sunday Drive Through

 Mahalo for your donations at last Sunday’s Soup-er Bowl Sunday! Eighteen church members participated in the drive-through and dropped off canned goods for The Food Basket. Blessings were given by Pastor Joe, and the ladies received Valentine’s Day flower arrangements made by Kiki Rycraft and Fern Yamane. Members in various care homes were also presented with flower arrangements.

 

Additional Drop-off Days for Canned Goods

We still collect canned goods for the Hawaii Island Food Basket every week. You may drop off your donations at the church on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, from 9am-12 noon. Pastor Joe (808-785-4822) will be near or at the chapel during these days. You may also drop off the canned goods with the Women’s Fellowship during their store hours from 10am-2pm. 😊

​

Workday

Our next workday is Tuesday, March 2, 2021. Bring your own snacks and drink. Take breaks on your own and we will leave as soon as everything is done and cleaned and put away.
