November Message

from Rev. Jenn

November is the last month in the church year and also the time of year when we talk about Stewardship. By now you have probably received the letter from Senior Warden Tusi asking for your support. It is a time to take stock of where we are, what lies ahead for us, and how we want to steward our community for the next year and beyond.

Holy Nativity continues to be in transition and as your Interim Priest I am focused on helping the community take time to reflect, talk about what we have done, and consider where we are now.

Halloween Fun around Town with Holy Nativity.

The Thrift Shop opened its door for Halloween night shopping and Trick-o-Treat!

The Sunday before Halloween, Amie got the kids in the mood with fun & games after service.

Rev. Jenn attended a performance of the Wizard of Oz at U.H.  w/our own Avery Garwin (seen with lei)

and additional fan, HNS student Naia Reh.

Tech Saturday was a

Big Success!

Our Kupuna Tech Workshop which occurred last Saturday, 10/31 was well attended and so informative!

We solved individual problems with our devices, learned new tricks, and our tutors even taught us a bit about AI and it's positive applications.

A Big Mahalo to everyone who attended and contributed to its success, and especially to the Iolani School Key Club students who volunteered their time and expertise!
