Please join our World Missions Ministry and wider community for this special presentation!
Representatives from Wai Nau Aloha for Palestine Water Project will share their ongoing mutual aid project in Gaza, detailing the current conditions of people internally displaced by the Zionist occupation. We will get to hear directly from people on the ground in Gaza and learn how we can offer support to Gazans through this grassroots effort led in part by O‘ahu residents.
CUC World Missions Ministry has chosen Wai Nau as the recipient of their portion of the 2025 Christmas offering.
This project aligns with the Ministry’s mission to send money/goods/missionaries throughout the world to spread Christ’s Gospel; to educate; to create partnerships by acts of outreach nurtured with prayers, concerns, and encouragement. It also is a faithful response to recent resolutions from our wider church: “A Call to Education and Action Regarding the Crisis in Gaza” (affirmed by the 2024 ‘Aha Pae‘āina of the Hawai‘i Conference United Church of Christ) and “Declaration for an End to Genocide in Palestine” (affirmed by the 2025 General Synod of the United Church of Christ).
This is an opportunity to act on these resolutions, live out our faith, and learn how our offerings will be used to help our neighbors. Your mere attendance is a sign of solidarity in the willingness to bear witness to not only the suffering of our neighbors, but also their resilience and resistance; and to support and encourage life-affirming work.
