Throughout this month of May, we've reflected on our six values—Discovery/Kaunānā, Transformation/Loli‘ana, Faithfulness/Mana‘o‘i‘o, Justice/Kaulike, Love/Aloha, Care/Mālama—which ground us and help to guide our actions. | |

We hope you've given some prayerful thought to how you might Step Up, Step Out with Central Union Church!
This coming Sunday, May 28, we invite you to turn in a completed Commitment Form. If you did not receive it in the mail, you can view and submit it online!

We are having a work day at Central Union to refresh the administration courtyard and adjacent areas in time for summer and our new Senior Minister. It’ll be this Saturday morning, May 27 from 8:30 to 11:30 AM. We’ll meet in front of the Church Office entrance.
If you are interested and willing to help, please contact Natasha Dator (808-440-3004) so we can better plan the garden projects. You’ll need gloves and protective clothing. We’ll bring the garden tools, water, and snacks!

A significant note: At the 200th ‘Aha Pae‘āina of the Hawai‘i Conference United Church of Christ in 2022, a proposed resolution of witness—authored by Rev. Brandon Duran and Rev. Mary Herbig and sponsored by Central Union Church—which entreated the HCUCC, its churches and their members “to make their voices heard in the wider community” that “the time has come for us all to actively promote peace and engage in efforts to end gun violence.” It implored churches “to pray for peace and for an end to these horrific acts of violence, and to let our prayers move us to meaningful action.” | |
