Sunday Service: "Courage -- the Uprising of the Heart: Part 2"

Aug 23, 2026 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am

Speakers: Rev. Deborah

Courage is a union of deep desire and the will to act. In this difficult moment, we need such bravery not only to confront injustice, but to face our own small failures to see clearly. These quiet evasions shape our lives and those we oppose, feeding division and fear. At their best, religions nurture the courage to see ourselves and one another truthfully—and to turn division toward peace.

Sunday Service: "Islands of Sanity: Who Do We Choose to Be in Hawaiʻi?"

Aug 30, 2026 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am

Speakers: Rev. Deborah, the Hawai’i Soul Team, Melany Melakea

In an “age of threat,” we will look to these Hawaiian Islands as a living parable of sanity—places of slowed pace, fierce hospitality, and painful scarcity. Here, those who have lost land still practice welcome, and communities must learn to live within limits while guarding spiritual abundance. Drawing on Margaret Wheatley and Hawaiʻi Soul, we will ask who we choose to be on these islands: how we might become an “island of sanity” where our human spirits come alive, and we commit to healthy community and meaningful work.

Sunday Service: “Radical Kindness: Aloha in an Age of Scarcity”

Sep 06, 2026 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am

Speaker: Rev. Deborah Bond-Upson

Kindness is often dismissed as politeness or sentiment, yet in Scripture, in Buddhist metta, and in Wheatley’s leadership work, it appears as a revolutionary force. In a Hawaiʻi strained by housing injustice and colonial wounds, radical kindness means more than being nice—it means practicing aloha that shares limited space, listens across difference, and refuses to abandon those most harmed. We will explore how everyday acts of mercy and kinship can sustain our island of sanity.
