June 10 Minister’s Message

Aloha mai kākou, 

June is a very big month for us, it is  Pride Month, and much is happening- highlights:

6/14 – Sunday service by Pastor Keola “Come Home: A Pride Sermon on the Body as Holy Ground.”

6/19 – Juneteenth – some of us are chatting about an honoring on Friday, as well as at the beginning of our Sunday GA service. Let me know if you are interested.

6/20 – Come to my house to watch the UUA GA Ware Lecture by Rt. Rev. Mariann Budde, @ 2 pm HT  (remember her Nat Prayer Service.) Only GA registered participants have access to it, and I do. Join me for pupus and to hear this magnificent woman. Let me know if you can come!

6/21 UUA GA Sunday service – we will watch together in the Sanctuary, we will honor fathers, and Juneteenth.

6/27 – “How Can Trans Kids Survive Hate and Find Joy” Panel with Nico Lang, Kim Coco Iwamoto, Sandra 

6/28 – Sunday Service – Nico Lang, LGBTQ+ journalist and author of “American Teenagers- How Trans Kids Survive Hate and Find Joy”.

Last laugh… Sunday, we looked at how religions use humor “on us” (to communicate with us). For the last bit of my message, I shared how we can use humor on religion, in other words, I told jokes. You can get right to the jokes by clicking here to be on our YouTube channel at that Sunday service. Scroll to 46  minutes in to just listen to the jokes. Hope you enjoy them!

Mahalo for all you do!

Rev. Deborah
