July-August Update

Aloha!

I hope this finds you all well and in high spirits!  How about an update from Lokahi Baptist Church!  We have really enjoyed the beginning of 2010 and all of our wonderful activities. We hope that you will be able to join us for some of the next activities! 

We have had some awesome events so far this year: Valentine's Event - Limo to Waikiki and after dinner at Jimmy Buffet's we went and saw "When in Rome"! AND, at the end of March we had a Scavenger Hunt that took us all around the West side of the Island... Please keep viewing our Calendar and, if you aren't busy - come and join us! We just completed our Teen Camp in July with 5 boys, 2 girls and 2 junior leaders! It was a great time for our Teens!

Our church calendar stays full year-around these days.  We fill each month up rotating with Teen, Keiki and Adult Activities - Something for Everyone to enjoy!  We have two events that occur every month: (1) Potluck once a month on the last Thursday which includes little surprises for the month's birthdays and anniversaries, with our regular weekly Bible Study to follow.  This has become a big hit with the congregation, and all of the wonderful food is much appreciated.  (2) The 1st or 2nd Tuesday of every month we all meet at either the local Chuck E. Cheese in Pearl City from 6:00pm to 7:30pm OR at Pastor's House, for tons of family fun! (Check the calendar for dates)!

Karissa has taken the time to create a New Face Book page for our church and has uploaded TONS of pictures!

Send her additional photos to be added (and be sure to send her a note on what a great job she did - it took a lot of work to put that together and all of us are enjoying all of the photos (new and old!). Make sure to tell others so they can become a fan as well!

Our church continues to grow, as does the amount of selfless work that is put into it.  Our church members are truly appreciated for all of their hard work and ideas.  We’ve printed door hangers, t-shirts and added several aesthetic enhancements to the Sunday services. If you would like an updated directory, new shirt, tracks or flyers/door hangers see Tiffany.

Please continue to pray for our Church to find land in Kapolei. It would be a miracle, but we know that our God can make that miracle happen. We have started a building fund to be ready when the opportunity presents itself and several members have graciously agreed to assist in financing if we need it. If you would like to send funds to add to the building fund please make a notation on your donation check memo so it is put with the right deposits. As always, checks should be made payable to Lokahi Baptist Church and mailed to 94-1036 Waipio Uka Street Suite 110, Waipahu, HI 96797.

In closing, we appreciate your unrelenting support.  May we continue to welcome many new families and guests, and pray that we may lead them to Christ.  After all, Lokahi means “harmony” and no church is more aptly named.

God Bless,

Pastor Gary DuBose and Family
