Second Sunday of Easter
Almighty and everlasting God, who in the Paschal mystery
established the new covenant of reconciliation: Grant that all
who have been reborn into the fellowship of Christ's Body
may show forth in their lives what they profess by their faith;
through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you
and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

EfM MENTOR TRAINING
|
Education for Ministry (EfM) will be offering a weekend mentor training beginning on Friday, May 24 at 2:00 PM until 2:00 PM on Sunday, May 26, 2019, at the St. Anthony's Retreat Center in Kalihi. Meals will be provided and rooms are available at the Retreat Center.
What is Education for Ministry? It is is a four-year program in religious studies and reflection from the School of Theology at the University of the South. Participants enroll one year at a time, meeting weekly in a small group (no less than 6 people, no more than 12), with a trained mentor.
The EfM mentor brings skills in working effectively with small groups. Responsibility for the life of the group belongs to everyone, but the mentor is the convener as well as being a group member.
Every baptized person is called to ministry. The Education for Ministry (EfM) program provides people with the education to carry out that ministry.Through study, prayer, and reflection, EfM groups move toward a new understanding of the fullness of God's kingdom.
If you are interested in learning more about the training,
e-mail Pam McCoy, or register on-line by clicking on the link below. For more information about EfM, visit the Diocesan website
HERE.

GODLY PLAY TRAINING 2019
REGISTRATION NOW OPEN!
|
2019 Godly Play Commuter Core Training on O'ahu has begun and there are two more dates remaining. Commuter Core Training enables people to attend one or more of the sessions over a span of time (and even years) instead of committing to a three-day training all at once. All three modules will need to be completed for full training. Click on the linked dates below for more information and to register:
The Episcopal Church in Hawai'i supports Godly Play, and has generously underwritten a portion of the training to help with tuition costs for churches in the Diocese.
Long time trainer and consultant Jenny Wallace is also in the process of updating the status of Godly Play in our churches and expanding the program into the wider community, and would appreciate feedback and input. You can e-mail Jenny at jennywallace02@gmail.com. For more information, visit the Godly Play webpage on the Diocesan website

[Episcopal News Service] Roberta Murrieta-May intends to walk at least part of the 173 miles from Fresno to Sacramento, California, because more people — especially undocumented immigrants and asylum-seekers — need hope.
The Episcopal Diocese of San Joaquin’s May 4-20 Pilgrimage of Hope “is a very honorable thing to do, with all the people in our culture today who don’t care about immigrants,” said Murrieta-May.
