A Message for Lent 2024
From The Right Reverend Robert L. Fitzpatrick
Na ke aloha ‘o Ke Akua ma loko ‘o Iesu Kristo, e aloha iā ʻoukou a pau!
As I live into Lent 2024, a time for self-reflection and amendment of life,
I have been praying a poem each day:
“Love III”
by the Anglican poet & priest George Herbert
(1593 – 1633)
LOVE bade me welcome; yet my soul drew back,
Guilty of dust and sin.
But quick-eyed Love, observing me grow slack
From my first entrance in,
Drew nearer to me, sweetly questioning
If I lack’d anything.
‘A guest,’ I answer’d, ‘worthy to be here:’
Love said, ‘You shall be he.’
‘I, the unkind, ungrateful? Ah, my dear,
I cannot look on Thee.’
Love took my hand and smiling did reply,
‘Who made the eyes but I?’
‘Truth, Lord; but I have marr’d them: let my shame
Go where it doth deserve.’
‘And know you not,’ says Love, ‘Who bore the blame?’
‘My dear, then I will serve.’
‘You must sit down,’ says Love, ‘and taste my meat.’
So I did sit and eat.

Vestry Retreat 2024
Our newly elected and returning Vestry members gathered at beautiful Camp Mokule'ia this past weekend. The group drafted an initial set of goals for Holy Nativity for the next 3-5 years, which they will further refine at upcoming vestry meetings. Rev. Jenn led the team in exercises that will help us become a more inclusive and welcoming congregation.
Looking forward to a great year!
Some of the Vestry pictured L to R: Carol Ching, Lila Johnson, Ginnie Long, Rev. Libby, Rev. Jenn, Jack Tonaki and Tusi Mayer (our new Senior Warden)

Who's in the Pew?
Barbara Coles
(Vestry & Parishioner)
By Jean Steele
Barbara Coles has just started her second year on the Vestry. She is following the family tradition: her father was variously Senior Warden, Junior Warden and Vestry member. She was born at Kapiolani Hospital and baptized and confirmed at Holy Nativity. She attended the Sunday School as have the following two generations of her family. Barbara remembers attending picnics and camping excursions for HNC kids.
In high school, Barb was one of two students per State to win a Parade Magazine scholarship to study in Spain. On her seventeenth birthday, Barbara enlisted in the Army, telling the recruiter she wanted to have a medical job and go camping. She became a Combat Medic, when her parents approved her enlistment. She loved the work which took her all over the world and involved a wide variety of assignments. Returning to Hawaii, Barb attended the KCC nursing program. She immediately took a night-shift position at Straub and she has been there ever since.
Her son is Gunner and her daughter is Leilani, a “surprise child,” seventeen years younger than Gunner and ten years younger than Barb’s oldest grandchild. Her stepchildren are DJ and Jennifer and her grandchildren number four. Like numbers? Barb has forty-two foster siblings. Her parents fostered all their lives.
More numbers? Barb’s family has 3 dogs, 2 cats, 6 turtles, 2 tortoises, 2 rabbits, 4 chickens, 8 ducks, a
pond of fish, and 6 parakeets (plus 4 eggs). And she loves to garden. She raises vegetables, cans jams and jellies, pickles veggies, and labels her products Coles’ Country Creations.
The woman is indefatigable.

Lent Madness!
This online activity began in 2010 and is a unique Lenten devotion which is not unlike a sports tournament with elimination brackets.
Right after Ash Wednesday, 32 saints are proposed to vie for the Golden Halo. Biographical information is provided first, and we are invited to continually select one saint from a pair in single elimination brackets over several rounds.
https://www.lentmadness.org
is the link to the Lent Madness XV.
