WELCOME

Since 1988, ‘Īao United Church of Christ (‘Īao UCC) has honored its members from ages 80 and older with a special celebration called Keiro no Hi. The term translates to "respect for the aged / elderly," and members who reach the ages of 80 and 88 during the current year are especially honored at an event held in early September. This date coincides with Grandparents' Day. Since 2020, the pandemic has limited celebrations. Despite this, we continue the tradition in a limited capacity.

2026: Kahu Kalani Wong is our Bridge Minister since February 22. He will work with a new search committee for a settled pastor. We hope to celebrate Keiro no Hi on September 13 this year.

Save the Date!

There’s a trifecta scheduled for the September 13 worship service: Keiro no Hi, Stewarding Campaign kickoff and Communion. Kahu Kalani Wong will preach.

Keiro no Hi (Respect for the Elderly) will recognize these honorees who reached age 80 this year: Lynette Shiroma, Winford Ideue, Dale Yatsushiro & Lynette Yamashiro. Edna Hadley will also be included. She joined last year at age 82, so we welcome her! Come hear about them and celebrate at the luncheon after worship ends. There will be music from Kahu Dennis Barger's ukulele hui and also a song from the Kosraens. Warren Orikasa will be the MC.

The 2026 - 27 Stewarding Campaign’s theme: There Our Hearts Will Be will begin with the Time & Talent survey. We hope you will be encouraged to participate in our church’s communities and missions.

The luncheon will be in Kanda Hall. Stewarding will provide a main dish and requests side dishes or desserts. Please join us!
