Congregant initiatives are growing!

Aloha mai kākou, 

Congregant initiatives are growing!

Social Justice Learning Circles

In June, new member John-Paul Chaisson-Cardenas will begin a series of monthly Zoom Social Justice sessions featuring informative presentations and conversations. Stay tuned for more info on these weekday evening events. Email SocialJustice@unitariansofhi.org if you want to brainstorm topics or be involved.

Lay Pastoral Care

Seeing and hearing each of our lay pastoral care team address describe their approach to deep listening and support was awesome. If you missed it, you can watch them here beginning at 33:51 (33 minutes and 51 seconds into the service). Email Care@unitariansofhi.org to connect with one of our caregivers, Martina, Nancy, Jim or Gabe.

Services to Support our Members

We are looking for volunteers to pick up congregants for church services, drive them home after evening meetings, and, if needed, to appointments. The first volunteer to step up to lead this can name the team– possibly “Holy Drivers”, “Holy Rollers”, “UUber” or ??
I drove one of our volunteers from an appointment last week, and it was delightful to get to know him. Driving another in the car provides such a lovely meeting space and time! Please email me minister@unitariansofhi.org. 

Spaghetti lunch, Pancake Breakfast, Sunday Sliders?

Many of us have talked about how much we enjoyed the Pledge Dinner and how we’d like more opportunities to share a meal with each other. Would you like to share your cooking and hosting with us? We will get a group together to lead this– in the meantime, please email me minister@unitariansofhi.org. 

Summer Services

The worship and RE teams are discussing summer services and programs. We would love your input. Musicians, poets, thinkers, storytellers– please share your ideas or requests! Email any of us!

Outreach to Oahu Military 

Are you interested in spreading the word of our congregation to military personnel? So many wonderful members and friends have joined us in the past while on military duty here. You may know more about the bases and communities than I do. Please share your insights as we prepare to reach out, emailing, calling, and visiting religious centers, chaplains, community and family service offices, and distributing brochures and invitations to our events.

Mahalo for all you do!
Rev. Deborah

P.S. In Sunday’s service, my background slide showed Oberon, the peacock who adopted me, who was taken away, but miraculously found his way back to me. See his picture above and ask me about this amazing true story!
