loha e Nā Hoahānau, All of our days are full, hectic and sometimes frenetic. We may have job(s), activities, hula, school, sports practices/games, gymnastics, martial arts, music lessons, singing les-sons, homes/cars to care for, church activities, family events, concerts, hobbies, etc. But we need to be careful not to allow busyness to take us from God. As Christians we should ask ourselves, are we being drawn closer to Jesus in what we are doing? Do our activities honor God, others and our lives? Be honest with yourself or better yet, ask someone you trust if you are being or doing what a committed disciple should.

I ask these questions because I’m asking them of myself. Though my days are full, am I spending time wisely or unwisely? Time spent on our knees, reading God’s Word and being accountable to others for our life in Christ is wise. Taking a stand for what is right in God’s eyes, loving non believers, feeding the hungry and forgiving those who hurt you are wise actions. However, we cannot be wise if we don’t know God’s Word. House Bill 444, if anything, has shown the evangelical world that we need to be wise. I met Christians jumping aboard saying, “Live and let live, why can’t we just all get along, gays deserve happiness, what gays do in private isn’t my business, they deserve equal rights, etc.” Most do not know the Bible, misquote or do not agree with it. However, I also met Christians who promote hatred of gays. This is not wise. Matthew 22:37 tells us the greatest commandment is to love God with all our heart, soul and mind. The 2nd is to love our neighbor as yourself. I don’t see promotion of hatred. I see promotion of love for our neighbor which includes gays, murderers, the greedy, etc. This is what Jesus said and this is what we must do. This is wise. Let’s not become a one horse show where we only champion one issue. If anything, we need to be proactive in becoming a church that is known for its Godly love of all people and every sinner, no matter the sin. But, let’s also be a people who are known for its stand on affirming the truth of the bible no matter how unpopular that truth may be. God loves with perfect love and calls us to do the same. God also hates sin with perfect hate and we must do the same. No matter what actions I choose, they need to be scriptural, led by the Holy Spirit and filled with love. May God’s love lead us, faith guide us, discipline strengthen us and humility with compassion steer us to do what is right in God’s eyes. This is wise. Me ke aloha pumehana,

Kahu Curt

loha mai kākou, Last month I submitted part 1 of an article titled, The Church Changed, and Nobody Told Us, by Elmer L. Towns, Ed Stetzer, & Warren Bird. Here’s part 2: Innovation or death? Too many churches choose death over innovation. The choice we make today will impact the church of our children. A recent PBS series on colonial life in America was a great reminder about how much the norms for “church” have

changed. In the 1600s, sermons were regularly more than two hours long, and people were fined for falling asleep in church! Musical instruments such as the organ were considered worldly. Steeples or outdoor crosses on church buildings were looked down on as inap-propriate. Aren't you glad that at least some of those ways of doing church have changed? On a more serious note, American churches have not suffered— for the most part—the pain experienced by many churches around the world. The idea of an underground church, a persecuted church or even a church with modern-day martyrs is largely non-existent in North America. Other countries generate news such as, “400 churches closed! Pastors killed and imprisoned!” Instead, American churches are moving in the sad direction of, “400 churches closed because communities don’t want them around!” What America needs today is a culture-impacting revival. Today, the only continent where Christianity is not growing is North America. That’s a fact we dare not ignore. Two of my (Elmer's) previous books in the field of church growth examined specific methods that God was blessing at the time they were written. Interestingly, many of the churches I previously wrote about continue to use the same methods that now no longer work as well—and, not surprisingly, their evangelistic outreach has declined and attendance at a number of them has dropped precipitously. The message to us all is this: When culture changes, adjust your methods or you will lose your effectiveness…but never change your message or your principles! When methods no longer work, don't blame the harvest as being unreachable; instead, ask God if it’s time to change your methods! I’ve received one astute response and hope that this article will cause you to share your mana‘o as well. Please email any comments to jpak@kawaiahao.org and I’ll bring it all together next month.

Aloha Ke Akua,

Jon

t was the day we all were waiting for. The day when we could truly say that construction of the Multi-Purpose Center had finally begun. Sunday, February 15, 2009, was a historical day for Kawaiaha‘o Church. It was Groundbreaking Day! It began with a ceremony in the sanctuary in which Board of Trustees Vice Chair, Bob Albin, spoke about the genesis of the project and Project Director, Don Caindec, described interesting features of the new building. After Sr. Kahu Curt Kekuna told of his hopes for the future, Treasurer Valerie Trotter introduced the seven groundbreakers. Before proceeding to the construction site, the groundbreakers were consecrated by Kahu Emeritus William Kaina. After a blessing of the site by Kahu Kekuna, the ground was finally broken using traditional Hawaiian ‘ō‘ō sticks. Indeed, God gave us a beautiful and sunny day. Kawaiaha‘o volunteers, led by Puanani Caindec, then put together a tasty pa‘ina on the King Street Lawn to celebrate the event. The meal and friendship were outstanding. A big mahalo to all the volunteers! Work on the MPC project is currently focused on trenching and excavation. The utility trench runs from Mission Lane to the back of the old kitchen and so does the trench for electric power and telecommunications. The large excavation at the Diamond Head end of the new building is for the foundation required for the roadway columns. Excavation for foundations will continue toward the Ewa end for at least another month. Simultaneously, trenching is needed for a new waterline and fire hydrant line in front of the sanctuary extending from King Street to the Wedding Center. Once excavations are completed, Hawaiian Dredging will be ready to install compact fill, form the rebar and pour concrete to make the actual foundations. Immediately following will be the concrete slabs that make up the first floor of the new building. Once completed, the site will be ready for delivery of the pre-cast walls. Heavy equipment will be required at that time to lift and place the large pieces of concrete. When that happens, the main parking lot will be completely fenced in. Other things have also been taking place during this time. A notice was sent out to neighbors surrounding Kawaiaha‘o Church to inform them of our construction plans. Meetings have also taken place with the State Historical Preservation Division and the O‘ahu Island Burial Council concerning iwi discovered during trenching. Care of the iwi follow policies and procedures devel-oped by Kawaiaha‘o’s Nā Iwi Committee. A report on nā iwi kupuna will be made after all excavations are completed.

Here are some interesting photos of the MPC Project. Enjoy!

Kawaiaha‘o Church Scholarship ProgramKawaiaha‘o Church Scholarship Program H. Kaipo KanaheleH. Kaipo Kanahele

As chair of the Kawaiaha‘o Church Scholarship Program, I extend a warm invitation to Kawaiaha‘o scholars in announcing that the scholarship program is currently accepting applications for the 2009 – 2010 academic year. The scholarship program was established to provide supplemental financial awards to post high school students of Kawaiaha‘o families who are enrolled in a post high school institution. The awards are based on academic merit, financial need, and most importantly a firm commitment to the Lord Jesus Christ and Kawaiaha‘o Church. The scholarship program is coordinated by a committee of dedicated Christians who also serve as advisors to each scholarship recipient. Throughout the school year, each recipient receives encouragement in the form of letters, email, care packages, and prayer from their respective advisor. Each recipient must also submit transcripts of grades at semester’s end to their advisor be-fore the next award is forwarded to the recipient’s school. The scholarship committee takes great pride in supporting the students through out the semester, and can affirm that God is working in great ways to help each student to achieve academic success. The primary goal of the scholarship program is to ensure that scholarship recipients make it their goal to complete their chosen area of study and return with their gifts to serve the Lord Jesus at Kawaiaha‘o Church. The scholarship program entitles students to study with the confidence that the Lord is enabling each to accomplish great things for Him here on earth, and that upon com-pletion of selected studies, will make a commitment to follow Him and take on leadership roles in His church here at Kawaiaha‘o. Kawaiaha‘o is grateful to the donors of the scholarship funds who have secured monies in support of the scholarship program. Each fund has its own purpose and is made available to scholars who meet the criteria of the said fund. The scholarship awards are disbursed from the interest accrued from each fund, and the awards are sent directly to the institution of higher learning in the name of the student to support tuition, books, living expenses, incidentals, and other financial obligations. The scholarship committee is a hard working and dedicated group of leaders who believe in helping others to achieve academic goals in service to the Lord. Aunty Puanani Akaka Caindec, Ruby Donlin, Monica Morris, Char Izuka, and Bill Hā‘ole round out the list of dedicated scholarship committee members who perform duties inclusive of screening applications, conducting inter-views, and the aforementioned advising duties for the recipients. The committee meets primarily throughout the scholarship sea-son after church on Sundays to complete the tasks at hand. Applications are available in the church office. Please call 469-3000 to arrange for a scholarship packet which includes a com-prehensive brochure of information about the scholarship program, application guidelines and the application itself. The deadline for the scholarship program applications is May 1st of each year. Strict adherence to this deadline is requested.

What do the words anticipation, expectation and connection have in common? For 16 women from Kawaiaha‘o who attended our an-nual retreat at Camp Mokulē‘ia, they would say it was their experience on the North Shore. For a value price of $45 we had a 2-day stay in a rustic lodge, with our own room and bath and a million dollar view. The weather was somewhat cold and overcast, but the sun periodically popped out, shining bright during the day while the stars danced overhead at night.

We were blessed to have guest speaker, Audrey Kawa‘a along with her sidekick Estrella on keyboard, as they set the stage for ke Akua’s arrival along with the ‘Uhane Hemolele. She did an excellent job creating the flow of worship, teachings and opportunities to share our thoughts. So many of us were given permission to relax, release or rest. It was so peaceful. There was some snoring going on, not because of boredom, but because of the calm atmosphere that was prevalent among the women. It was safe, you didn’t have to worry, you were among sisters. There is something beautiful on the inside of women as we gather to console and glean from the full-ness of one another. So different, yet so similar.

Our teachings were full; we learned the symbolism of each woman. There is Martha the worker and Mary her sister, the one that sat at the feet of Jesus. Their family was close friends of Jesus. Lazarus, their brother, was the one that was raised from the dead after 4 days. The position of women at the time was definitely not in the presence of men. Women belonged in the kitchen, in the background run-ning the household and caring for the children. Martha busy in the kitchen is mad, really mad, she brings it to the attention of Jesus and He gently chides with, “My dear Martha, you are worried and upset over all these details! There is only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it, and it will not be taken away from her.” Luke 10:41-42

That’s the key, submission, as shared by Vickia in our small group discussion. She gave the illustration of Martha representing “self” and Mary, “submission.” Now that is a WOW! This pattern is prevalent throughout the Bible. You could say it started with Adam and Eve and revealed itself again with Jacob and Esau and so on. I challenge you to discover this analogy as you read God’s word.

Mary is contemplative as she sits; she is the type that would be reading or doing quiet activities. She follows directions; she doesn't seem too concerned with completing tasks in a timely manner. Unlike Martha, she is active. She finds purpose in serving, if you want things done, see Martha. She is organized and takes charge. She is the leader type, not afraid to speak her mind. She has a strong per-sonality and is efficient and competent.

With the understanding of each woman, we see Mary again at the feet of Jesus. This time with an alabaster jar of pure nard, a very expensive perfume. It was worth a years’ wage. Can you imagine; if its worth was equivalent to Rick Warrens’ royalties for his book, The Purpose Driven Life. Another WOW! Anyway she breaks it open and instantly it fills the air with its pungent aroma. She pours it over his feet and wipes it with her hair. Such a beautiful response to her Lord. She got it! She was there, she heard what Jesus said, she knew he was going to the cross. She was giving her best.

Audrey creatively weaved a beautiful lei as we, “searched” our hearts, “discovered” who we are in relation to these two women, “surrendered” ourselves to the will and purpose of our lives for ke Akua and ended with our Sunday worship of “renewal.” It was a wonderful time of praise and worship to our Lord for revelation. Every women present gave a testimony of what took place in her heart. We were given a special anointing by our version of nard, an appropriately named oil, Queen Emma Lily. It was a very power-ful ending to a spirit filled weekend.

I would encourage all women of Kawaiaha‘o to make it a priority to attend next years retreat. Ke Akua has already designated the time, location and agenda for 2010. We look forward to the upcoming year as Akua reveals his purpose for us as women and members of Kawaiaha‘o Church. Gods blessings be yours today and always.

“You Are Vital to Your Child’s Sunday School Experience” Here are some tips to help your child get the most out of Sunday School:

- Encourage your child to develop friendships at Sunday School. One of the strongest benefits the church provides your fam-ily is an extended “family” of both adult and childhood friends who support positive Christian values.

-Be consistent in bringing your child to Sunday School so that he or she will benefit from the biblical instruction. Children are surrounded by influences which are often in conflict with the truths of Scripture. Sunday School can be your child’s most important hour out of every week!

-Cultivate friendships with your child’s teachers. -Watch for and talk with your child about the take-home materials provided each week. -Learn the Bible memory verses with your child. -Ask a few questions about the Bible story to see what your child remembers and understands. -During the week, look for ways to connect a recent Bible verse or story to specific situations.
