Dear Church Family,
With increasing COVID-19 cases this past week, I hope that you are continuing to stay safe. This includes limiting contact with people outside of your immediate household, wearing a mask, and staying 6 feet away from others.
As we start a new school year, I want to thank the incredible June Galdeira, chair of our Education Committee, and our Sunday school teachers for all they do to nurture the faith of our young people. Thank you to the Congregational Care Committee (especially delivery person Lori Valenti!) for the back-to-school care packages for each of our children and youth. And last but not least, thank you to Emma Brown and the scholarship team for their work to review this year's applications! I am grateful that we are able to support our students from kindergarten through graduate school.
We face so many uncertainties these days, from how schools will open to when we will be back in the sanctuary together. In the midst of all of this, I am grateful for your continued generosity of time and financial resources in support of our church.
Many Blessings, Pastor Jessica

Confirmation Class Beings August 2!
From August-December, we are excited to offer confirmation class for our middle and high school youth! We will meet on Zoom, Sundays at noon, starting on August 2. Confirmation is an important opportunity for students to explore faith for themselves. Please reach out to Teresa Banner or Pastor Jessica if you have any questions!
We are beginning a new 13-week session of our GriefShare support group this month. For the Zoom login information, please email Jim Higa at jameshhiga@hawaiiantel.net.
