SJBTS Back in Ho'okano Hall

After the celebration of the Eucharist on Sunday morning, December 18, 2022, the congregation reassembled in Ho'okano Hall for the first time in a long while to celebrate fellowship, enjoy some delicious corn chowder (thanks to Renee!), and "make your own sundae" with ingredients provided by Sam! The day was rounded out by playing Bingo, with the winners being Sheila and Clara, seen here with Phyllis and Sam. Additional photos courtesy of U'i and Sam.

St. John's Hosts Marquesas Group

We were delighted to welcome members of the Taka Iki group to our Sunday morning service on October 30. Taka Iki is made up of students in high school and college from the six islands of Marquesas. While they were on our island, they performed for three days at the Polynesian Cultural Center in Laʻie, toured and performed at the Bishop Museum, and engaged in cultural exchanges at various Oʻahu schools, including Kamehameha Schools and King Intermediate.

Blessing of the Animals

In honor of the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, our Eucharistic service on Sunday morning, October 9, 2022, included special Bible readings, hymns, and a blessing of pets belonging to St. John's members. Some animals were unable to attend the service in person, but Fr. Nahoa blessed them anyway, via FaceTime! Mahalo to Ruth Shiroma Foster, Malia Santilla, Eileen Phillips, and Fr. Nahoa for taking photos; see more here.
