Season of Creation Work Day

by Rev. Jenn


Here at Holy Nativity we have been celebrating the Season of Creation in several ways. First, in our liturgy we are praying a version of the Prayers of the People written with care for Godʻs creation in mind.


In our celebrations and worship at Holy Nativity School we have been learning the stories of creation from our Bible and talking about how important it is to mālama ʻāina (care for and protect the land that cares for and protects us).


Last Saturday, with others from the diocese, we gathered to work at a farm in Waialua – Nā Mea Kūpono Learning Center. Kuʻuipo, the farmer, shared stories and taught us about what she does to live in harmony with the land, including farming kalo and other crops using all natural inputs. She showed us how to work in one of her loʻi, weeding and trimming the grasses that were encroaching on the kalo.

Working all together, we made good progress (as you can see from the photos). Being in the loʻi, so close to the ecosystem that helps these important crops to grow, was inspiring for us all. Each part of the system is important, from the mud to the fish to the kalo to the farmer. Many of us decided we would welcome another chance to work with Kumu Kuʻuipo.



If you are interested in the work being done at Nā Mea Kūpono Learning Center, please check out the video HERE and look for an opportunity to join another workday in the future.
