EYE17 Hawai`i Youth Delegation Receives Huge Boost from Holy Nativity!
The youth delegation that is preparing for the triennial
Episcopal Youth Event in Oklahoma this July, just received a huge donation from the folks at Holy Nativity Episcopal Church in Aina Haina! Through their
Nellie Hartman Trust Fund, the Vestry approved a $10,000 grant towards the trip that will go a long way to cover expenses for the delegation of 14 high school youth and three chaperones.
"The mission statement of EYE17 could have been written by Nellie Hartman," said Ed Moore on behalf of the Holy Nativity Vestry. "It is exactly what she wanted her bequest to support."
They hope that this gift will stimulate others in the Diocese and other mainline Protestant sects to apply for grants under the Nellie Hartman fund which generates approximately $26,000 each year.
Meanwhile the youth representatives have been actively fundraising with car washes, bake sales, etc., and in April, there will be a t-shirt fundraiser where anyone can purchase shirts on-line and support our youth. Hopefully, out-of-pocket expenses will be kept to a minimum with their hard work and the generous support of their diocesan family.
Mahalo nui loa to Holy Nativity and to everyone in the Diocese for supporting our youth!

What's Happening in The Episcopal Church? Announcements from around The Episcopal Church & beyond |
Registration Now Open for 2017 New Community Clergy and Lay Conference
Registration is now open for the popular Episcopal Church New Community Clergy and Lay Conference, slated for July 19-22 at Camp Allen, Navasota, TX (Diocese of Texas). The theme is Affirming Life, Liberty and Justice.
In light of current issues such as the deportation of undocumented immigrants, the banning of refugees based on religion, the Standing Rock Reservation and the Dakota Access Pipeline, Black Lives Matter, mass incarceration and human trafficking, this conference is timely and pertinent.
Sponsored by the Episcopal Church Ethnic Ministries Offices, the New Community Clergy and Lay Conference is a gathering of Asian, Black, Latino/Hispanic and Native American clergy and lay leaders that will provide a safe place to explore mission in ethnic ministries, share resources, best practices, hopes and dreams, needs and concerns, suffering and joy in the context of being the New Community.
"The New Community Clergy and Lay Conference is a venue for us to learn from one another as we strive to live together as the beloved community," said the Rev. Canon Anthony Guillen, Episcopal Church Director of Ethnic Ministries Department.
The Conference will include plenary sessions and workshops addressing current issues as well as ethnic-specific meetings, inter-ethnic and cross cultural conversations, and multicultural worship.
Registration is available
HERE.
Registration deadline is June 7.

Episcopal Migration Ministries Launches Fundraising Campaign
[March 13, 2017-Episcopal Church Office of Public Affairs press release]
Episcopal Migration Ministries
, the refugee resettlement agency of the Episcopal Church, invites participation in supporting its life-saving work through Stand To Support Refugees, a fundraising campaign to maintain a strong, viable ministry network to welcome those fleeing war, violence and persecution. Donations to Stand To Support Refugees will help strengthen important ministry to some of the most vulnerable throughout the world.
On March 6, 2017, President Donald Trump signed a revised executive order with elements that include: suspending refugee resettlement for 120 days; cutting the previously determined number of refugees to be resettled in the United States for the current year from 110,000 to 50,000; and prohibiting entry for most nationals from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen for at least 90 days.
"The executive order will disrupt the promise of hope and safety for the most vulnerable children, women and men," noted the Rev. Canon E. Mark Stevenson, director of Episcopal Migration Ministries. "Episcopal Migration Ministries is committed to embracing the command of Jesus, and his definition of neighbor. We recognize that there is little to fear from those who have themselves fled violence for fear of their lives. We respect and value the dignity of every human being. Our interest is only in being 'neighbor' to those who need to know peace and comfort." READ MORE

Coming in May
Stewardship University: Stewardship & Beyond
This year's annual Stewardship University will take place on Friday May 5 (clergy only) and Saturday, May 6 (clergy and lay), at the Parish of St. Clement's Parish Hall in Honolulu. Registration begins at 8:30 AM and the class ends at 3:00 PM on both days.
(Note: Correction in times.)
This year's theme is "How Clergy and Lay Leaders Can Create Stronger Congregations." Over the past few decades, the culture in which we live has become increasingly indifferent to religious expression. Religious leaders who garner public attention often preach a gospel of exclusion, rather than all souls being God's children.
The result is that ministry in any form, for clergy and lay leaders alike, is exponentially more difficult than in years past.
This year's Stewardship University will be led by Michael Durall, who has authored numerous books on congregational organization, development and stewardship. He co-authored Making the Pledge Drive Obsolete with the Rev. Cn. Timothy Dombek, who led our previous Stewardship University events. His most recent book is Don't Wait Until the Pastor Leaves: Planning for Ministerial Transition Helps Ensure that One Successful Minister Follows Another.
Clergy and lay leaders are encouraged to sign up as teams to strengthen their stewardship programs. Participants will gain a common understanding of stewardship possibilities and reap the benefits all year long!
