SUMMARY:Bible Study: "Surprising Stories of New Testament Women”
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a time of Bible study\, learning\, and discussion with our guest teacher\, Rev. Dr. Donald Schmidt\, who is a leading voice in progressive studies of our scriptures! Pastor Donald will invite us to read the texts anew and listen for what our Stillspeaking God is saying to us today. Each study will stand on its own and ALL are welcome\, so come as you are able!\n\n\n\n\n\nFebruary 4 – “Surprising Stories of New Testament Women”\n\n\nFebruary 18 – “What the Bible Says (and Doesn’t Say) about Easter”\n\n\n\n\nABOUT OUR GUEST TEACHER\n\n\n\nDonald Schmidt recently retired after some 40 years in active parish ministry\, so he could devote himself full-time to his first love: telling the stories of the Bible. In that process – which he tends to fill with humour and a sense of wit – Schmidt is eager to point out to it that often what we think – or have been told – the Bible says is not in fact always the real story. In a series of books (10 so far) written for progressive Christians\, Donald Schmidt invites us to lay aside traditional understandings and read the Bible with fresh eyes and an open heart. Schmidt has served churches in Canada and the US and also served for a time in staff with the Hawai‘i Conference United Church of Christ. He currently lives in Penticton\, British Columbia\, Canada.

SUMMARY:Ash Wednesday Service
DESCRIPTION:Ash Wednesday marks the onset of Lent\, the 40-day period of reflection\, repentance\, and preparation leading up to the celebration of Easter and resurrection. \nOn Ash Wednesday\, also known as the ‘Day of Ashes’\, the church invites all to have their foreheads marked with ashes in the shape of a cross as a sign of humility and mortality; and as a sign of sorrow and remorse for the pain we’ve experienced and the harm we’ve caused. We remember that we are dust\, and to dust we will return (Genesis 3:19). \nIn our busy culture\, the Lenten season is a gift. It offers us a time to slow down\, breathe deep\, and focus on our spiritual practices – those habits that draw us nearer to God and help us to sense the Spirit’s movement in our lives. \nJoin us for a simple evening service including music\, meditation\, and imposition of ashes\, as we begin the season of Lent.

SUMMARY:Talk Story: Empty Homes Tax
DESCRIPTION:Hawai‘i has a housing crisis. While housing is increasingly purchased as investments rather than housing\, ownership and rental costs rise. Money generated from the Empty Homes Tax can help alleviate the cost burdens associated with housing.\n\nCome learn about the tax in this presentation by HiHAC (Hawai‘i Housing Affordability Coalition) and see how we can support this effort to get more of our neighbors sheltered.\n\n\nWhat is the Empty-Homes Tax?\nA tax applied to vacant properties that are not used as a principal residence\nWhy should we care?\nHousing has been increasingly purchased as an investment instead of for housing. This in turn has resulted in rising ownership and rental costs. Money generated from the empty homes tax can help alleviate the cost burdens associated with housing.\nWho should know about this? Who’s most affected?\nEveryone! All those who are struggling from high housing costs may benefit. Additionally\, those (and only those) who own any vacant or seasonal (airbnb) properties will be affected by this tax.\nWhat will we learn/do in this presentation?\nYou will learn about the tax\, how it’s been implemented\, how it can help provide affordable housing\, and ways to get involved with the movement.\n\n\n\nRSVPs are not required but appreciated! RSVP HERE\n\nHosted by Central Union Community Ministry and Faith Action Hawai‘i in partnership with HiHAC.

SUMMARY:Commemorating 1-Year Anniversary of Maui Fires
DESCRIPTION:This day marks one year since the fires that devastated the Lāhainā community on Maui. At noon\, our Sanctuary carillon will sound; one toll for each life known to be lost in the fires. The 102 tolls will take approximately seven minutes to ring. \nMay we remember the many people whose lives were taken by the fires\, and the many survivors who were left to pick up the pieces\, many of whom are still struggling one year later. \nWe pray for continued healing and pono restoration of the community and ‘āina.

SUMMARY:Learning Tree: Godly Play - Story of Baptism
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special time of Godly Play as part of a series of Learning Tree opportunities! \nCome hear these stories!\nSunday\, August 11 – Baptism\nSunday\, August 18 – The Great Family\nSunday\, August 25 – The Good Shepherd\nGodly Play is a Montessori-based program designed to teach children sacred stories from scripture\, help them become familiar with the rhythms of liturgy and the liturgical calendar\, and to nurture the inherent spirituality of children. Godly Play is the faith formation program we use with our keiki here at Central Union Church\, but it can be used in a variety of settings with a range of ages! \nGodly Play begins with the core stories of the Bible\, such as creation and the exodus. It then builds on these central narratives by telling more stories from the Hebrew Bible and New Testament throughout the year. Since Godly Play follows its own storyline\, children may hear different parts of the Bible than what their parents hear during the service. However\, Godly Play does mirror the lessons heard by the whole congregation during feast days and special liturgical seasons such as Advent and Easter. \nDuring these Learning Tree sessions\, our Director of Children’s Ministries\, Cayanna Herrera\, will lead us in a time of Godly Play\, geared toward adults\, that will help you reflect and engage with your faith at a deeper and more personal level. Our worship services on these three Sundays will be closely linked to the Godly Play stories that will be shared in the Learning Tree. (Cayanna will also share the Godly Play story in our online worship each Sunday.) Please join us and enjoy the opportunity to grow through these stories!
