Personal Mission Statement
Aloha and Welcome!
As we prepare for 2024, Pastor John asked me (Arlen) to share a response to his message last week. My biggest takeaway was that I need to solidify a personal mission statement. So join me online as do a deeper dive into Habit 2 and consider how to form a personal mission statement. -Arlen
Please Continue to Pray for Israel!
Please continue to pray for the people of Israel...as well as their enemies - we are praying for justice; for an immediate cessation of all hostile acts; and a return to peaceful negotiations.

Loving and Serving the People God has given us to love is easy, until its not. When loving others becomes work, a growing angst develops in our heart. For me, it sounds like this: “what about me?” Left unanswered, this voice can get me into all kinds of trouble. Join us as we discover the power and promise of this statement of Truth; “to God be the Glory!” pjohn

The Smell of Sin
Aloha and Welcome!
Have you ever wondered what sin smells like and feels like? I shared this message with 350 students at chapel this week and felt it was a message for our church as well.
We’ll dive into the gospels and consider how Jesus saw sin and taught about it. But don’t worry, whenever Jesus talked about sin, he also followed it up with the Fresh Air of Grace. Livestream only this Sunday. Talk to you soon! Pastor Arlen
