The Slavic church in Honolulu warmly sends Hawaiian greetings to the brothers and sisters of the Pacific Coast Association’s churches and wishes everyone a blessed summer.
The month of May was quite eventful in this young church, where hardly a Sunday passes without visits from guests coming from different parts of the United States and from countries both near and far abroad.
Especially busy this month were the children and youth, who worked diligently to prepare presentations for Mother’s Day on May 10, as well as for a festive evening dedicated to the completion of the Russian language courses and Sunday school classes.
More than 120 people attended the event, including children and parents from non-believing families whose children attended the Russian language and literature courses alongside the children of families from the local church.
The children sang songs together, recited poems, listened to the Word of God, and watched a puppet theater performance. At the end of the program, they received awards and certificates in recognition of their work and academic achievements.
Following the main part of the evening program, all guests were invited to enjoy a delicious dinner, where fellowship continued until late in the evening.
Immediately after the end of the regular school year and the beginning of summer vacation, the children and youth leave for the Christian camp (Camp Kapono), where young counselors from different states gather to spend two weeks serving children living on the Hawaiian Islands, including children and youth from Slavic communities.
At the same time, the church is already preparing for its planned summer activities, such as weekend services in the park, beach fellowship and recreation, camping trips in the forest, and more.
And of course, despite the busy schedule of events, the church always warmly invites everyone to visit us and participate in our ministries for the glory of the Lord.
