SUMMARY:BYU Men's Chorus - In Concert
DESCRIPTION:The BYU Men’s Chorus\, the largest collegiate male choir in the U.S.\, presents an evening of powerful and dynamic choral music. \n\n\n\n\nGet Ready for the BYU Men’s Chorus – In Concert!\nFor more than a century\, the Brigham Young University Men’s Chorus has stood as one of the most distinguished collegiate men’s choirs in the world. Founded in 1901\, the ensemble has grown into the largest collegiate male choir in the United States\, known for its commanding sound\, expressive range\, and deeply moving performances. \nComprising approximately 180 singers from across the university\, the BYU Men’s Chorus performs a wide-ranging repertoire that spans classical masterworks\, sacred hymns\, folk traditions\, and contemporary choral music. Their performances balance power and precision with warmth and musical storytelling\, creating concerts that resonate with both longtime choral enthusiasts and first-time listeners. \nThe ensemble is conducted by Dr. Brent Wells\, Associate Professor of Choral Conducting and Ensembles at Brigham Young University. Dr. Wells directs both the BYU Men’s Chorus and Concert Choir and is widely respected for his musical leadership\, scholarship\, and artistry. His academic work focuses on hymnody and folksong\, and his compositions and arrangements are performed by choirs internationally. As a conductor and performer\, he is known for shaping performances that are both technically refined and deeply expressive. \nUnder Dr. Wells’s direction\, the BYU Men’s Chorus continues its legacy of excellence while connecting audiences to the enduring power of the human voice. This Hawaii tour performance offers a rare opportunity to experience one of America’s most iconic men’s choral ensembles in an evening of stirring\, joyful\, and inspiring music. \n  \nBUY TICKETS\nPromo code: BYUFAM \n\n\n  \nCentral Union Church is just the venue\, not a sponsor of this event.

SUMMARY:Community Vigil for Peace
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT IS BEING POSTPONED.\nDue to the severe weather being experienced and expected across the island\, we have decided to postpone our community vigil out of an abundance of caution and desire for our communities to safely access and participate in the gathering.\nMarking the Deaths of Those Killed in Gaza\nThis interfaith service will center around a speaking of the names of children killed in Gaza\, interspersed with prayers and readings by representatives of various faith traditions. Children make up a large percentage of the death toll in Gaza which surpassed 75\,000 a year ago and is rising still\, even after a ceasefire was declared last October. While focusing on Gaza\, there will also be wider calls for peace and justice in the world. \nWe are called to “Weep with those who weep” (Romans 12:15). \nAll people of conscience are welcome. \nPlease join us in solidarity on Saturday\, March 14\, from 3-6 PM in the Sanctuary or online. Come and leave as you need. \nIf you are coming in person and willing to help speak aloud some of the names (to be read from a provided list)\, there may be an opportunity to participate in this way. \nMay our grief be transformed into collective action for peace and justice.\nOrganized by Faith Action for Community Equity\, Central Union Church\, Hawai‘i Quaker Friends Committee on National Legislation. \nContact: kristen-young@centralunionchurch.org \nNOTE: Severe weather is expected across the islands over the next few days. Heavy rain\, possible flash flooding\, strong winds\, and thunderstorms are on the forecast through the weekend. We will monitor the storm and make the call to continue or cancel/reschedule the vigil on Saturday morning. Please stay safe. \n

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.
