ZOOM ONLINE ADULT FORMATION CLASS:
THE APOSTLES' CREED
|
We say it every Sunday at church, but where did the Apostles' Creed come from? Why do we recite it in our worship services? What does each part mean for us today? Join Kahu Kawika as we take a closer look at the Apostles' Creed. For background, the Secretarios suggested we get the book by Adam Hamilton, Creed: Why Christians Believe the Apostles' Creed (you can order a print copy from Amazon which will arrive on time, or download a Kindle version immediately). We will explore this via Zoom (online or via phone call-in) over three Tuesday evenings, 6:30-8:00PM in August, as follows according to the three-part breakdown of the Creed: August 4: God the Father August 11: God the Son August 18: God the Holy Spirit Email church@allsaintskauai.org for login info. |

A MESSAGE FROM THE NATIONAL CHURCH [Updated: 5/27/2020]
A MESSAGE FROM PRESIDING BISHOP CURRY:
Presiding Bishop joins call for national day of mourning on June 1, invites Episcopalians to honor COVID-19 victims this weekend
Presiding Bishop Michael Curry has joined other faith leaders in calling for a national day of mourning and lament on June 1 as the United States exceeds 100,000 documented deaths from COVID-19, and he invites Episcopalians to commemorate the victims during worship services this weekend.
“I encourage Episcopalians to join with other people of faith this weekend to grieve and honor those who have died from COVID-19,” Curry said in a press release. “Let this tragic moment not pass without us honoring the many among us who have lost their lives or lost their loved ones and commending them and ourselves to God’s love and peace.”
A MESSAGE FROM THE HAWAII DIOCESE [UPDATED: 5/22/20]
A MESSAGE FROM BISHOP ROBERT FITZPATRICK
The Diocese of Hawaii will respect the decisions of the individual churches as they decide whether they wish to reopen their in-gathering worship services in some form.
The Bishop asks each church to prayerfully consider State and County rules, CDC guidelines, and communal considerations as they make this decision.
Here is the latest update from the CDC
UPDATE AS OF 5/22/20:
"As many have heard, the Mayors of the Counties of Kauaʻi and Honolulu have issued guidelines allowing for in-person public worship with social distancing and masks beginning this weekend (Sunday, May 24, 2020). The Mayor of Maui has reportedly said worship can begin again on May 31. The Mayor of Hawaiʻi currently has no plans to allow public worship. We must keep listening to the Governor and the Mayors.
What does that mean for Episcopalians? I have asked that no public worship begin until, at the earliest, one full week after the new guidelines take effect in each County. So, in Kauaʻi and Honolulu Counties, the earliest day of in-person public worship will begin in Episcopal churches on May 31, and for Maui County, on June 7. This is provided that the congregation can meet the CDC, State, County and Diocesan guidelines for reopening. The Clergy-in-Charge (and Senior/Bishop’s Warden where there is no priest) have received and reviewed the Diocesan document “Customary in the Time of Pandemic.”
In the end, when your congregation will again have in-person public worship will depend on the plan of action prepared by your congregation’s leaders (Clergy, Wardens and Vestry/Bishop’s Committee). I will trust and support the final decision of the Priest-in-Charge (or Senior/Bishop’s Warden in churches with no settled Priest) about when to open for in-person public worship with social distancing, masks, and the other requirements of the civil authorities and the Diocese. Please wait to hear from your congregation’s leaders about the plan for your local church.
We don’t need to be in a hurry. Some congregations may need more time to return to in-person public worship. We need to care for one another as we enter into our new reality. We will try new things. I trust you, God’s people, to be patient and adaptable. I have confidence that we can find our way.
Our watchword as a Diocese in this interesting time is “mercy.” We are called to live into God’s mercy being compassionate, patient and joyful. As we are reminded in 1 Peter 2:10: “Once you weren’t a people, but now you are God’s people. Once you hadn’t received mercy, but now you have received mercy.”
Your servant in Christ Jesus
Your faithfully,

A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRIEST [UPDATED: 6/5/20]
A MESSAGE FROM KAHU KAWIKA
|
"...Though our church building may be “closed” temporarily, we as God’s ‘Ohana are never out of business. In terms of worship together, we are working with St. Michael’s and All Angels in Lihue and soon also with Christ Memorial in Kilauea to record morning worship together... [We] at All Saints’ are thinking of ways to gather outside of the sanctuary building for worship as well."
|
[Update 6/5/20]
Aloha mai kakou,
I tremendously look forward to the opportunity for us to commence in-person worship again this Sunday at All Saints'! I have enjoyed filming the recorded Morning Prayer services in cooperation with Fr. Andrew McMullen and the crew from St. Michael & All Angels, and have found it God's blessing that our two parishes could work together in such a meaningful way. This has been indeed a special time and season, and now we are about to enter into a new one of transition.
To that end, the vestry and I want to make sure that we do so in a way that transitions with intention and care for the physical, social, and spiritual well-being of our 'Ohana. Therefore, we will follow the guidelines below:
- We will still have both services (8am and 9:30am), but with social distancing and face masks. Households and couples can sit together, though, without social distancing.
- We thought at first that we would conduct the services outside near the deck, but instead we decided to hold them in the Sanctuary. There is room enough for everyone at 8am, and we will have the side lanai doors open with lawn chairs our for 9:30am with the addition of the big tent over that area (Rain is predicted this Sunday, plus logistically it is much easier than to set everything up outdoors). I would ask all those coming to the 9:30am service to pack some lawn chairs in your car in case you might need them to sit on the side lanai.
- Hank will continue to bless us with leading us in music ministry; however, in accordance with diocesan guidelines, for the time being we will have no in-person choral or congregational singing. We will have instrumental music, and the likelihood of more Virtual Choir musical offerings.
- We will have Holy Communion in a few weeks after we receive some special orders from the Mainland. In the meantime in our first few weeks together, we will have the "Liturgy of the Word," that is, the first portion of our normal service but without the latter Communion element.
- In addition, our Healing Ministry leaders are also planning on still offering prayer support - more instructions about that on Sunday.
- Finally, we will have a modified "Aloha Hour" after the 9:30am service -- no pupu's, but beverages like coffee, juice, and water in disposable cups.
These are all steps toward returning to the full in-person style of worship we love as statewide and nationwide virus testing becomes more robust and, eventually, a vaccine is developed. While the above measures are by no means perfect, I would invite us nevertheless to find God's moments of blessing in the midst of them. I am reminded of Moses and the Israelites, who escaped Egyptian slavery only to have to wander about in the desert for 40 years before "coming home" to the Promised Land -- the trick was to find God in the midst of their sojourns rather than wanting to go back to their former lives. While we are also sojourning through this wilderness experience, let's also look for "God-moments" and find ways to love and serve each other and our community in new and creative ways.
Much mahalo for your steadfast prayers, service, and support,
Kahu Kawika+
