A Transylvanian Perspective on Community Empowerment
Our communities need empowerment. How can we practice to make our voices heard and not be intimidated? For this, we need partners, just like we need partners when playing ping-pong.

Advisement from Hawaii Department of Health
"Stay home when sick: Avoid gatherings if you have a fever, cough, sore throat, or any respiratory symptoms. Stay home until fever‑free for 24 hours without fever‑reducing medicine and other symptoms are mild and improving." -- Hawaii Dept of Health (DOH)
DOH statements on current caution and contagion levels:
- Hawaiʻi DOH reports a surge in seasonal influenza statewide, with sharp increases in flu test positivity and flu‑related emergency department and 911 encounters this month.
- DOH dashboard summaries describe medium activity levels for acute respiratory illness overall and RSV, with influenza making up a large share of respiratory Emergency Dept visits.
- COVID‑19 continues to circulate at low–moderate levels nationally, and DOH includes it among the respiratory viruses of concern in Hawaiʻi this season.
 From our members
Life-long Unitarian Universalist, working with others here at the church to change the world in ways I can’t do by myself.
What lies behind you and what lies in front of you, pales in comparison to what lies inside of you.
Our four boys love to go to church because they are surrounded by people who love them, interesting things to do and they feel the interest and respect of the community.
First Unitarian Church of Honolulu became my eternal family, and community of choice! Love the people, the kids, the elder. Love the worship services the workshops and special events. Love A.D.O.R.E. and our Social Justice Council. ~Mahalo
I love that I have a place to visit that reminds me of what is truly important in life. I love that church gives me a vehicle to make meaningful actions happen. I love being part of a caring community to share life with.
