SUMMARY:Backpack Packing Ministry
DESCRIPTION:The BacPac Project: A Ministry of Hope and Hospitality\n\nWhen someone is released from prison\, the road ahead can feel uncertain and lonely. A simple backpack—filled with essential items and offered with love—can be a powerful symbol of welcome\, dignity\, and care.\n\nChurches across Honolulu are supporting this meaningful ministry. Each backpack is thoughtfully packed with supplies and blessed during Sunday worship\, becoming a tangible expression of grace and compassion.\n\nWe’ll be packing backpacks here at Central Union on Saturday\, October 18 at 9 AM in the Women’s Building. Come lend a hand\, share in fellowship\, help prepare these gifts of hope\, and learn more about this vital ministry.\n\nThen\, on Sunday\, October 19\, we’ll bless the backpacks during all worship services—lifting up in prayer those who will receive them and the journey they are about to begin.\n\nTogether\, we can weave a lei of support for those re-entering society. Your presence matters. Your prayers matter. Join us and let’s make a difference\, one backpack at a time.\n\nThis project is sponsored by our Community Ministry.

SUMMARY:Honolulu Pride Parade
DESCRIPTION:Central Union\, along with many other faith communities\, will march in the Honolulu Pride Parade\, an event hosted by the Hawai‘i LGBT Legacy Foundation during the month of October (LGBT History Month). \nAt Central Union Church where “We Engage and Embrace ALL…” we believe in a God of extravagant love and welcome that extends to our LGBTQ+ siblings. Join us to share this love\, and proclaim that each person\, whatever their sexual orientation and gender identity\, is divinely created and beloved by God! \nWhen: Saturday\, October 18\, 3:00 p.m.\n\n2:30 PM – Parade participants meet in the Magic Island parking lot\, must be lined up by group in their assigned spaces.\n3:00 PM – Parade starts at Atkinson Drive/Ala Moana Boulevard\nParade Route (about 2.6 miles):  The Parade will kick off at 3:00 PM from the Magic Island parking lot\, travel along Ala Moana Boulevard and Kalākaua Avenue\, and end at Kapiʻolani Park near the Waikiki Shell.\n\nWALK IN THE PARADE\nWe were unable to get a trolley this year. They were all booked months ago! Many people walk the full parade distance. It’s a slow speed. Small\, self-propelled ‘vehicles’ like bicycles\, scooters\, or wagons for keiki are allowed. \n*** Please note that parking is very limited at Ala Moana Beach Park.\nConsider alternative public parking lots such as Kewalo Basin\, Kaka‘ako Waterfront\, Kapi‘olani Park (at the end of the parade) and/or ride-share service (Uber\, Lyft)\, carpool\, bus\, walking or taxi down to Ala Moana Beach Park. If there are enough participants and volunteers\, we will see about coordinating carpooling from the church. \nNOTES: \n\nHonolulu Pride is a family friendly event. All attire\, music\, and decorations should be appropriate for all ages.\nWear your brightest\, most joyful colors and accessories!\nPlease plan for high temperatures and minimal shade. (Bring your own water bottle\, sunscreen\, hat\, sunglasses\, etc.)\nParade walkers will continue on Kalākaua past the Honolulu Zoo and disband in Kapiʻolani Park.\nParade vehicles will turn left on Monsarrat Avenue and riders may disembark there.\n\n\nHELP NEEDED!\nVolunteer to help with transportation to and from the event!\nIf you can’t walk in the parade but are able to drive and want to support\, we could use your help with transportation before and after the parade. Parking will be very limited. Walkers will need to be dropped off at Ala Moana Beach Park (Magic Island) by 3:00 PM and picked up from Kapi‘olani Park around 5:00 PM once the parade ends. Can you support CUC’s participation in the parade by shuttling church members between the church and the parade start/finish line? If you’re willing and able to help\, please contact kristen-young@centralunionchurch.org. \nYou can also be one of the many spectators and shout “Aloha!” to the paraders!
