Aloha Sunday!
"Embracing the Spirit: Indigenous Spiritual Traditions"

On this Aloha Sunday, we will continue our sermon series on world religions as we explore some of the rich tapestry of indigenous spiritual traditions from North America and the Pacific Islands. Many of these traditions include an animistic perspective that recognizes and honors the spiritual essence of all elements of creation, from the vast ocean to the smallest leaf. This perspective and its implications for living in community with other humans and with all creation can help inform our own incarnational Christian faith. This Sunday, let us celebrate creation, recognize God’s presence in all that is, and give thanks for the Spirit of Aloha that flows through it all!

On this Aloha Sunday our music will be accompanied by piano, ukulele and guitar. Our organist Jason McNally will be playing some familiar Hawaiian melodies, our choir will be singing and leading sing some songs in Hawaiian, and you’ll get to join with them in the song! Our ukulele and guitar players Shannon Miller, Sandra Park, Michael Rice, Ruth Rawlings and Nancy Schwartz will together sing Amazing Grace, and our choir will sing Sometimes a Light Surprises focusing on God’s abiding love for all creation. Shannon Miller and Michael Rice will sing Somewhere Over the Rainbow/Wonderful World Medley made famous by Israel Kamakowiwo’ole. And don’t forget to dress in your Aloha attire - it will be a festive day celebrating Ohana and the Aloha spirit so be sure to join us. Mahalo!
