GIVE ALOHA
Congratulations to the Wahiawa Ohana on our success in Foodland's Give Aloha 2011 and for being one of the top 100 organizations. This wouldn't have been possible without the faithfulness of the congregation. Our net portion from Foodland's distribution was $1,532.34 and from Western Union was $298.32 resulting in a grand total of $1,830.65. Thank you everyone for your fantastic generousity.
MOVIE NIGHT - NOVEMBER 12
The WUMC Youth invite you to a Family Movie Night at the church on Saturday, November 12th at 6 p.m. We will be showing Zookeeper, a comedy for the entire family to enjoy! Briefly, a group of zoo animals decide to break their code of silence in order to help their lovable zoo keeper find love -- without having to leave his current job for something more illustrious. The Youth will provide theater style refreshments for purchase such as a $3 combo meal - hot dog, popcorn, and drink.
See you at the movies!
ADULT SUNDAY SCHOOL
The Adult Sunday School meets in the lounge at 9 a.m. We are currently listening to a lecture series on Jesus and the Gospels given by Professor Luke Timothy Johnson. Dr. Johnson is the Professor of New Testament and Christian Origins at Emory University. He is an excellent speaker. These lectures help us to understand the context of the times in which Christianity began.
Please join us for a stimulating start to your Sunday worship.
Bob Lormand & Keith Isaacson
YOUTH SUNDAY SCHOOL
Youth Sunday School will begin on Sunday, November 14 at 9 a.m. in the newly renovated Youth Room. (It's great - thanks so much to everyone who helped clean up and clean out!!) They will begin with the Christmas Program, designed and directed by Alyssa Edwards, who will teach the Sunday School class with Dina Cornwall.
FACE
F.A.C.E. (Faith Action for Community Equity) continues to be active, working on issues of adequate health care and affordable housing. Thank you to all who collected signatures on the Health Petition, and who donate to FACE by giving flowers on Sunday mornings.
We are grateful to Betty Ickes, who donates her time and flowers for your donation of $50 to FACE.
SUNDAY ALOHA RECEPTION
After every Sunday worship service, we have an Aloha Reception. It is a wonderful opportunity to greet newcomers and to renew friendships. Receive a cool drink and a bite to eat and observe the smiles and fellowship taking place.
Your participation as a host for the Aloha Reception is a great way to celebrate a birthday, anniversary or any special occasion. Please look at the sign-up poster located in the narthex and fill in that open space with your name and the special occasion. Sign up early so you can get as close as possible to the date of that special occasion that you wish to celebrate.
You can host the Aloha Reception with a partner or if you want us to find a partner for you, please let us know and we will do that. If you are able to donate refreshments and choose to not host the Aloha Reception, please contact us.
A special Mahalo goes out to everyone who has donated refreshments or hosted the Aloha Reception. The Aloha Reception is an extension of the Wahiawa United Methodist Church Ohana's Aloha to visitors and regular church attendees.
Thank you very much,
June Higa
