Aloha my beloved parish 'ohana,
St. Francis of Assisi is said to have charged his fellow brother monks that "It is not fitting, when one is in God's service, to have a gloomy face or a chilling look." A quick scan of the pictures in this newsletter show you believe this too!
Just look at these smiles on the Country School keiki who help at our Thrift Store ministry carrying charity bags to the container!
"I have come so that my joy may be in you.", Jesus said. People see joy in you. And not just any joy, but Christ's joy. That does not mean we don't feel the gamut of emotions. It does mean, that at the center of our common life and worship, we hold fast to Christ's promises. This includes holding these promises for one another when we are unable to ourselves.
This weekend our animals will sit beside us or on our laps as we sing our praises to the God of all creation. No doubt there will be a little howling mixed in! We will ask for God's blessing on our animal companions. The liturgy honors St. Francis' affinity for all God's creation. I can't tell you how many newcomers have said to me, "You know my first time coming here was when you asked for God's blessing on my cat, my dog, my goldfish..." There is something about our willingness to welcome one's animal companion that tugs at the heart of those who might not otherwise grace our doors. It speaks to people who have come to know God more through the unconditional love of their animal companion than they have found otherwise. Then, they come inside and many find what their heart has been seeking -- home.
So fellow sisters and brothers, I give you a charge: Find someone to bring this weekend to what is always a joyous worship service. Tell them to bring their animal companion. And when they say, "You mean right into the church?" You say, "Yes! Right into the church with all the rest of us!"
For we are all mutts in need of a home and seeking the Master's love.
And you, bring your animal friends, even if you have brought them before! Let our little ones see and later look back on their years as keiki with fond and loving memories of a church that welcomed everyone and had fun doing so!
"Serve the Lord with gladness and come before his courts with praise."~Psalm 100:2
With blessings,
David

Note: the 7:30 AM service will be a "fur-free" service as we understand that some folks have allergies or may prefer a non-barking service."

Special Report from Steve Kittell at the Hale Iki Grand Opening
|
|
|

WHAT A DIFFERENCE A COMMUNITY CAN MAKE!
All of us living in Hawaii know that building anything here can be a long, complicated project from plans, government approvals, bids, contracts, coordination of the actual construction and final sign offs can take many months to years!
Well, NOT ALWAYS.
When lava flowed thru lower Puna starting in early May, it would eventually destroy or damage over 700 homes, creating a true emergency for those displaced. In an already tight housing market, the need for additional housing (beyond just emergency shelters) quickly became apparent.
Led by Pastor Dion Maeda of Connect Point Church in Hilo a group of churches, non-profits, architects, builders, craftspersons, local businesses which would eventually number over 85 community partners, took on the task. With unprecedented coordination and flexibility from the Planning and Zoning Departments of the County of Hawaii, in around 3 months they pulled off a miracle! Hale Iki Village, located on a one acre parcel (owned by Connect Point Church) in Hawaiian Paradise Park offers 11 micro units as transitional housing geared to families displaced by the recent lava flows.
You may recall over the summer when we at St James’ Parish were looking for ways to reach out and help those in need who were impacted by the lava flows David, our rector, found out about this effort to build Hale Iki and a portion of the monies collected throughout our Parish to provide such aid over several weeks were sent to help fund this venture.
On Saturday, September 29, I was honored and humbled to represent St. James’ Parish at the GRAND OPENING OF HALE IKI VILLAGE IN KE’EAU.
Just look at the pictures to see what a difference a love and faith based group of individuals, non-profits (yes, including us) and businesses accomplished to quickly fill an emergency need on our island! This time it was lower Puna but another time it could well be closer to home.
I am overwhelmed to live on an island where, in spite of our differences, when tragedy strikes, we all pull together as one 'Ohana to help each other.

Midweek Worship
Every Wednesday
Morning Prayer, 9 AM
Every Wednesday, at 9 AM in St. James' church, we offer the service of Morning Prayer. This is a beautiful way to begin one's day. The service of Morning Prayer, also known as Matins, is one of the two main Daily Offices in the Episcopal church. One of the beautiful aspects of Morning and Evening Prayer is that as you pray the office you are praying it with thousands of people around the world who are also engaged in these same or similar prayers. In addition, during the service, we will be incorporating the reading of the names on our parish prayer list. Please come and join us in prayer.

If you are already baptized, and desire to make this parish 'ohana your parish 'ohana, then do not hesitate to contact David+, our rector, or any of our clergy, if you have questions about becoming a member of our parish.
"Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God."

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader and our Advent Journey
Wednesdays, December 5, 12, 19 •
5:30 – 7:30 PM
(note time)
• at St. James’
This Advent
as we prepare to celebrate the coming of Christ, let's explore the spiritual dimension of the Christian life, as presented by C. S. Lewis in one of the most beloved of the "Chronicles of Narnia"! In
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
spirituality is presented as an adventurous journey over the sea — seeking the home of Aslan, the Noble Lion (who represents Christ). Joining us via Skype from his home in Atlanta will be Christian author Carl McColman, whose book
The Lion, the Mouse and the Dawn Treader
unpacks how C. S. Lewis wove together Celtic mythology and the teachings of the Christian mystics to compose his charming sea adventure. As we journey through the season of Advent, come join in a lively discussion as we reflect on the wisdom of C. S. Lewis who shows us how faith can be an adventure — pointing us toward deeper union with God.
Because of the time zone difference, there are a few changes to this year’s Advent series offering. We’ll begin with potluck at 5:30 PM. At 6 PM, we’ll welcome our guest speaker, after which we will enjoy discussion over coffee and dessert. We will close with our evening prayers. Sign up and more information to come. For now, you are invited to read (or watch the movie) C.S. Lewis’ “The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.” In addition, you are invited to read Carl McColman’s book, “
The Lion, the Mouse and the Dawn Treader
” he’ll be using for his discussions. Copies of both will soon be available at the parish office to borrow. Both books are also available for e-book readers.
A little more about our special guest speaker:
Carl McColman
is a contemplative writer, speaker, retreat leader, catechist and spiritual companion. He is the author of several books, including
Befriending Silence
,
Answering the Contemplative Call
, and
The Big Book of Christian Mysticism
. He is a life-professed Lay Cistercian (a layperson under formal spiritual guidance of Cistercian monks) affiliated with the Trappist Monastery of the Holy Spirit in Conyers, Georgia. He also received formation in the practice of Christian spirituality and contemplative leadership through the Shalem Institute for Spiritual Formation. Carl and his wife, Fran, are part of the Adult Faith Formation team at St. Thomas More Catholic Church in Decatur GA where they work with adults who are preparing for baptism and confirmation.
Carl regularly leads retreats and speaks on the contemplative life at monasteries and retreat centers, cathedrals, parishes and seminaries. His ministry is ecumenical in scope, and he has also participated in a number of interfaith initiatives. He maintains a blog at Patheos (
www.patheos.com/blogs/carlmccolman
) and is the co-host of a podcast,
Encountering Silence

THE REAL GOD
How He Longs for You to See Him
by Chip Ingram
There is a deep sense of unease in our rapidly changing world. We all know something has been lost but don’t know why or where it all leads. Popular culture says it’s all about me – that the end justifies the means, that love means self-satisfaction, that status and appearance are what count. And this ultimately self-destructive perspective has thoroughly infiltrated the church as confusion replaces conviction. The way back, the path of hope, starts with knowing God for who He really is.
In this in-depth study of seven attributes of God – His goodness, sovereignty, holiness, wisdom, justice, love, and faithfulness – you’ll see Him in a whole new light. It will change the way you think about God, yourself, and others. You will pray and live with a deep peace and a renewed purpose as you see Him as He longs to be seen.
Please join us at St. Columba's in Pa'auilo for eight successive Wednesday evenings beginning
October 10
th
from 5:00PM to 7:00PM.
Please note that there will be NO
meetings Oct 31 or Nov 21.
We will have supper, so please bring a bag lunch along with your desire to learn. Each session will begin with a DVD lesson, watched while we eat. Discussion and prayer will follow as we enjoy dessert and decaf coffee! Everyone is welcome and you do not need to be present at each lesson. Come and learn how God wants us to know Him!

October is going to be a very busy month for the long awaited Kitchen Refurbishment! We have a work schedule, starting on October 8th and continuing through November, that will include the replacement of widows, indoor and outdoor plumbing work, cabinet removal and replacement, replacement of the water heater, stove, sink, and shelving, electrical work to support all the existing and new appliances, new countertops and the installation of a larger propane tank. The schedule is tentative at the moment, and dependent on many suppliers receiving and delivering many components on schedule, but work is about to commence. We ask for your patience with all the disruption and mess that these improvements will inevitably create, and trust that everyone can focus on what a blessing the new kitchen will be to all who use and benefit from it!

The meal consisted of Chicken Broccoli Casserole (and a vegetarian one), rice, roasted pumpkin, roasted eggplant & zucchini, a kale, apple, nut salad, bread, banana creme pie, Tropical Dreams ice cream, pumpkin pie, brownies & cookies. Chief cook for the week was Sue dela Cruz and her great kitchen volunteers.

Our serving line was again filled out with HPA & Parker students, Waimea Intermediate students and various other regular volunteers. We are truly blessed to have such an abundance of volunteers right now.

Mahalo to Laurie Rosa for organizing the Mango Picking Party last Sunday and to Ray Rosa, Theresa “Terri” Kaaekuehiwi, Glenn Bertlemann, Jerry Duke, who all went and helped.
A special, huge mahalo to Terry Weaver who owns the mango farm and donated not only all the mangos, but helped us pick and load them into the truck!
We now have mangoes - boxes and boxes of mangoes! BUT...they aren't quite ripe enough yet. When they ARE, we will need LOTS of help cutting and peeling them.
A notice will be sent out via email blast with the day and time, so keep an eye out. Mahalo to Betty Hanna for organizing the Cutting and Peeling Party! All of this work goes into making the famous St. James' Mango Chutney that is such a good seller at our Christmas Bazaar, coming up on November 17. All proceeds this year go to support the Community Meal Ministry. Thanks in advance for your kokua!

Headed to Kona to do all your chores? Can you add just one more??
The Thrift Store generates 200 to 500 charity bags each month. We have just one person who comes 1 to 2 times a month to pick up bags.
YOU
can help by taking bags on your Kona trips. This will help us see that those who need clothing will benefit from the bags and also keep useable items out of the landfill.
The container will be open after the Sunday 9:00 service for parishioners to pick up charity bags (no more than 5 at a time) and deliver them to the Salvation Army (on the way to Safeway, Lowes, or Wallmart) or Goodwill (on the way to Costco) in Kona. Every little bit helps, so if you have a trip to Kona planned, please kokua!

"Success does not consist in never making mistakes but in never making the same one a second time." ~ George Bernard Shaw
|
|
Light and Dark are both real and both part of God’s cosmic vision. Michael’s rival in the mythical battle is none other than Lucifer, whose name means “light bearer”, embodying darkness masquerading as light. Our shadow will invariably masquerade as light. The closer one gets to the Light, the more shadow we see. Angels, the mighty messengers of God, aid us, help us and draw us closer to the Light.

Waimea Community Theatre presents a classic tale of horror!
Things are going terribly wrong in the asylum. Dr. Seward's teenage daughter has recently died from a mystery illness, and her close friend Lucy is showing the same symptoms. Making things worse, Lucy's fiancee Jon has been missing for two months and is feared dead. Meanwhile, one of the asylum's patients has taken up the bizarre practice of eating live animals. Nearby, children are dying—with unexplained scratch marks on their throats. Desperate, Seward calls in her friend and mentor, Professor Van Helsing, who fears the cause may be related to the asylum's new neighbor, Count Dracula.
Just in time for the Halloween season, Dracula opens Friday, October 12th at Parker Theater in Waimea and plays for two weekends before moving to the People's Theatre in Honoka'a on October 27th and 28th.
St. James' parishioners are in key roles with John Stover playing Von Helsing, and Amy Mills playing Dr. Theresa Steward, and Raina Dale is in the 'back of house' crew.
