June 27, 2016 Aloha All Saints’ ‘Ohana, Do you believe that the keiki are the future of the Church? If so, then you understand that we are called by God to support, nurture, and empower their future in the Church! This is a responsibility that needs to be shared by the whole congregation, not just by a few individuals and not just by the parents/guardians of our current keiki. In August, we start the 2016-2017 “program year” and all of us have the opportunity, responsibility, and privilege to support our keiki and their future in the Church. We must renew and strengthen our commitments of time, talent, and resources to support our Sunday School and Youth Ministries at All Saints’. Twenty years ago, the General Convention of the Episcopal Church adopted the “Children’s Charter”. It is an amazing and prophetic document that provides a vision, a standard of excellence, and accountability for churches to support and empower children’s ministries. In the coming years, it is my hope that All Saints’ will live even more fully into the Charter’s vision. Please prayerfully consider the question how much of your time, talents, and resources you are willing to offer for the keiki of our Church. SUNDAY SCHOOL: Starting in August, All Saints’ will implement a dedicated Sunday School curriculum, Weaving God’s Promises. It is a comprehensive, three-year Christian education curriculum for children that is developed and written exclusively for the Episcopal Church.
YOUTH GROUP: The Ke Akua Youth Group typically meets on the 3rd Sunday of the month after the 9:30AM service.
Our keiki are the future of the Church! Offering quality Sunday School and Youth Ministry programs is essential to our Church’s mission and vision. As our Church continues to grow so will our Sunday School and Youth Group . . . As our Sunday School and Youth Group continues to grow, so will our Church. In Mark 9:37, Jesus says, “Whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes not me but the one who sent me.” Our keiki need our time, talents, and resources. Let us welcome our keiki into the Body of Christ. Let us embrace the future of the Church with loving and supportive arms. We need your help! Please consider the opportunity to make a lasting impact on the future leaders of the Church by assisting with the Sunday School and Youth Ministries at All Saints. Ultimately, I ask each of us to continue praying for the keiki of our parish and for the Church’s ministries to young people. Mahalo nui loa. Faithfully in Christ, The Reverend Ryan D. Newman
