E paio aku i ka paio maikaʻi o ka manaʻoʻiʻo, e hoʻopaʻa aku i ke ola mau loa, i kou mea i koho ʻia mai ai, a e hōʻoia aku ai i ka hōʻoiaʻiʻo maikaʻi i mua o ke alo o nā hōʻike he lehulehu. 1 Timoteo 6:12

Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses. 1 Timothy 6:12

Ke aloha, ke ahonui, a me ka maluhia, mai ke Akua mai ʻo ko kākou Makua, a me Iesū Kristo ko kākou Haku, ALOHA!

As Paul encouraged young Timothy in these verses, I pray that we too are encouraged  to move forward in Godʻs grace and fulfill  His Purpose in our lives. Our church has been  quite busy, both spiritually and physically. And I am sincerely grateful for all the dedication and hard work that has been done to maintain and mālama our place of worship as well as serve the needs of our community. May God bless each and everyone one of you that have shared your unique God given  time and talents to serve Him and those around you. I pray that you will take some time for yourselves to be refreshed, to refocus and be reunited with our King!

In HIS name,

Kahu Kīhāpai  Rev. Kanani Franco
