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!

SUMMARY:Service of Healing & Prayer
DESCRIPTION:Join us on the third Sunday of the month for this special\, intimate\, and contemplative service in the Iona tradition. Too often in our living we struggle with woundedness – whether of the body\, of the mind\, or of the spirit. \nCome and discover a place of healing for your soul rooted in the traditions of the Scottish island of Iona where Celtic Christianity flourishes. The service will include music from the Taizé community\, prayer\, silence\, and the ritual of the laying on of hands. All are welcome.

SUMMARY:Advent Study: What do you fear?
DESCRIPTION:This Advent\, we invite you to a soul-stirring study led by Pastor Rushan. Drawing from the opening line of Luke’s Gospel—“In the time of Herod…”—this series explores the fearful and uncertain world into which Jesus was born\, one marked by oppression\, instability\, and economic disparity. It’s a world not unlike our own. Yet\, amid the darkness\, the angels proclaim a radical message: “Do not fear.” Through the stories of Mary\, Joseph\, the shepherds\, and the magi\, we’ll reflect on how faith doesn’t erase fear but moves through it with courage\, trust\, and hope. \nThis study invites us to name our fears\, examine how fear operates in our lives and communities\, and discover how God is breaking in with good news. Together\, we’ll explore how fear can be transformed into love and action\, and how insisting on hope—even trembling hope—can be a powerful spiritual practice. \nCome as you are—bring your questions\, your fears\, and your hope. Let’s journey together toward the light of Christ. \n\n\n\n\n\nRegister online: bit.ly/advent2025cuc\n\nStudy materials will be available for pickup from the church office or directly from Pastor Rushan. \n~ ~ ~ ~ ~ \n\n\n\n\nThere are two meeting options each week. Attend the one that works for you! \nThursdays • 10:30 AM – 12:00 PM\nNovember 20\, December 4\, 11\, 18 \nTuesdays • 6:00 PM – 7:30 PM\nNovember 25\, December 2\, 9\, 16

SUMMARY:The Church Has Left the Building
DESCRIPTION:“The Church Has Left the Building”\nA Day of Worship and Witness\nOn Sunday\, November 23\, 2025 Central Union Church will embody its call to be a church not confined by walls\, but propelled by love. “The Church Has Left the Building” is more than a clever phrase—it’s a bold declaration of faith in action.\n\nWe’ll begin the day together in a combined worship service at 9:00 AM in the Sanctuary\, lifting our voices in praise and grounding ourselves in the Spirit’s call to serve. Then\, like the early disciples sent out\, we will scatter across our community to participate in acts of compassion\, justice\, and care.\n\nA Variety of Ways to Serve\nWhether you’re ready to roll up your sleeves or prefer to stay closer to campus\, there’s an activity and place for you:\n\n\n\n\nMaking Genki Balls – care for creation (Aloha Lanai)\n\n\nAssembling Aloha Kits – care for neighbor (Women’s Building)\n\n\nClean CUC parking lots – care for our shared spaces\n\n\nVisit CUC home-bound members – care for our ‘ohana\n\n\nPick up trash – care for creation and communal spaces (Ala Moana Beach Park)\n\n\nAdvocacy letter writing – care for neighbor\, creating change (Rewick Board Room)\n\n\n\n\n\nLiving Our Faith Beyond the Sanctuary\nThis day is a living sermon. It’s a chance to be God’s hands and feet in the world—to listen deeply\, serve humbly\, and love boldly. As we move from pews to parks\, from hymns to hammering\, we remember that worship doesn’t end with the benediction. It begins again in every act of mercy and every gesture of grace.\n\nWhether you’re picking up trash\, sharing stories with kūpuna\, putting together aloha packs for our unhoused friends\, or simply offering a smile to a stranger\, you are part of a sacred movement. Together\, we are writing a new chapter in the story of Central Union Church – one where love leaves the building and finds its way into every corner of our island home.\n\nLet’s go forth—not just to do good\, but to be good news.
