SLOGGETT CENTER SOLAR AND ROOFING PROJECT
Financial Support from our All Saints 'Ohana
350,000
317,113.33
Headed by the All Saints' Environmental Ministry, the church began a new roof and solar panel project tentatively scheduled to commence on July 5, 2021.
The project replaces the old and deteriorating Sloggett Center roof which houses both the church office and the preschool. The old roof will be crushed into gravel and reused to fill campus pot holes created by the last few thunder storms.
Aside from necessary roof repairs, the solar panels will provide much of the campus' electrical needs. The panels are one way our church strives to create a more environmentally sustainable future as good stewards of God's creation.
Many of our church 'ohana have lead the planning, initial deposits, and permit permissions to get us through over 50% of our estimated project costs.
We humbly ask you, our church family and friends, for your kōkua in helping us complete the final construction phase of this project.

A MESSAGE FROM THE NATIONAL CHURCH [Updated: 8/10/21]
A MESSAGE FROM PRESIDING BISHOP CURRY:
"DO THIS FOR THE CHILDREN"
A MESSAGE FROM THE HAWAII DIOCESE [UPDATED: 8/13/21]
A MESSAGE FROM BISHOP ROBERT FITZPATRICK
Aloha my dear Siblings in Christ Jesus,
I returned from visiting my Grandchildren in Rhode Island late Sunday to the new surge in positive COVID-19 cases here in the Islands. We are again faced with a difficult situation.
There has a been a general relaxation of practices in our congregations over the past couple of months. The Customary in the time of Pandemic Updated 5 February 2021 is still the “official” word, but we are faced with a new situation. We need to renew our vigilance.
As we consider the current situation, I assume all clergy, lay leaders and church employees who can be vaccinated, have been vaccinated against COVID-19. I am aware that some individuals have not been vaccinated for medical reasons and that children under 12 are still not eligible to be vaccinated. Otherwise, I hope all other Episcopalians have been vaccinated, but especially the clergy and lay leaders of the Diocese. I considerate it imperative that all responsible adults who are able be vaccinated. So, as the Clergy and lay leaders of this Diocese, please contact me if you have not been vaccinated for a pastoral conversation.
With the variant, we are facing additional concerns. Even those of us who have been vaccinated are susceptible to the Delta Variant of the Virus, though generally the negative impact is lessened. Those vaccinated can still share the Virus. That means we can put children and the vulnerable at risk. We must again live into our responsibility to care for our neighbors (the Great Commandment: Mark 12:28-31).
Masks should be worn by all during indoor worship (or any small gatherings), and, for now, by all at outdoor worship (with social distancing and plexiglass shields/screens, readers and preachers can still remove their masks). I know some congregations have slowly introduced congregational singing with masks. I urge you to reconsider that aspect of worship (at the very least, limit it). I think the same is true of “Aloha Hour” (if there is a short fellowship time after worship, please be sure it is outside with masks and social distancing). Outdoor worship with social distancing is still ideal. If indoors, everyone needs to be strict about social distancing and maximize air flow.
Keep in mind, even though most – if not all – parishioners have been vaccinated, we are again protecting the children and the vulnerable. Masks, social distancing, and proper air flow are again a must.
Can the Church require vaccinations of Clergy and employees? The Chancellor is considering guidelines, but generally the answer is “yes.” The Bishop can require vaccinations of eligible Clergy who engage in direct sacerdotal ministry. The Bishop can make it a requirement for eligible lay employees of the Episcopal Church in Hawaiʻi and Organized Missions. Vestries can make it a condition for eligible lay employees in Parishes. Again, there may be medical reasons clergy and lay employees cannot be vaccinated. This is a pastoral situation. I would rather know directly and privately if an eligible member of the Clergy or lay leader (Warden, member of a Vestry/Bishop’s Committee, Diocesan Council member, or Standing Committee member) has not yet been vaccinated.
Can vaccinations be required of volunteers? Yes, as a volunteer, a person’s involvement can be limited to include reasonable requirements to keep others (and the individual) safe. That can include vaccinations if there is direct contact with an at-risk population. A person does not have to be a volunteer or be accepted to fulfill a volunteer ministry. Volunteers are not employees.
Should churches suspend worship right now? At this time, I think churches can provide the needed safeguards with masks, social distancing, and air flow (ideally outdoors). I recognize that can change. I trust the “Clergy-in-Charge” (Rector, Vicar, Interim, Priest-in-Charge, etc.) or the Senior/Bishop’s Warden in congregations without a current “Clergy-in-Charge” to make such a call, but, generally, I think we are learning to deal with COVID-19 as best we can. Let me know if you decide to suspend worship and your criteria in making the decision as it relates to your local community.
As God’s Church, we have learned how to adapt in this pandemic, and the current surge is one more bump on the way to the “new” normal. Again, please encourage everyone who is able and eligible to be vaccinated.
Please contact me with any questions.
Almighty God, in Christ you make all things new: transform the poverty of our nature by the riches of your grace, and in the renewal of our lives make known your heavenly glory; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen
Your Brother in Christ Jesus,
Bob

A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRIEST [UPDATED: 3/22/21]
|
A MESSAGE FROM KAHU KAWIKA"Well, here we are at the halfway point in our Lenten Season, which we mark in church today with the rose-colored lectern frontal (we do a similar thing in the four weeks of the Advent Season, when midway through we highlight Rose Sunday). These midpoints in our holy seasons are invitations for us to stop for a moment, catch a breath from our normal flow of seasonal observance, and make sure we take the time and effort to be more reflective and purposeful in our walk with God and in our spiritual practices."
|
The past year has been a very challenging time for all of us. As we make our way through the disruption and turmoil, we will be confronted with questions about how we want to rebuild our lives anew. As Christians, we know that we do not face the future alone or ill-equipped. Jesus promises always to be with us and has gifted the community with the power of the Spirit as a guide, advocate and comforter.
This Lent, I would like to invite you to participate in a six-week small group process called Revive Lent, published by Forward Movement (who also produce the daily devotional guide “Forward Day by Day”). Revive Lent will provide an opportunity to become grounded in foundational spiritual practices that will equip you for a deeper spiritual journey. In this time of uncertainty, Revive Lent helps us to talk with one another, build a deeper relationship with God and prepare to journey with Jesus through Holy Week.
Revive Lent comprises 6 sessions:
March 23, Session 5: Praying through the hurt
March 30, Session 6: Death and dying, and praying with Jesus in the garden
Our sessions will be via Zoom on Tuesdays 5:00PM - 6:00PM, starting on February 23rd and concluding on March 30th. In order to enroll, please either speak with me directly, call the church office, or email me at rector@allsaintskauai.org. I will then send you the Zoom link you will need for each of our sessions.
May God richly bless us as we grow in faith to serve God’s world,
Kahu Kawika+
