We celebrated St. Christopher, patron saint of travelers, on Sunday, July 26. Slippers, shoes, cars, and trains were blessed!
  TECH TEAM & iPHONES NEEDED
We desperately need folks willing to help live-stream services to people watching from home. It is fairly easy. Youth may want to do this for a community service project. Others are welcome and needed, too. If you can help, PLEASE contact Giovan (808.294.0695) or Preston (615.516.9191). Mahalo! Also, as birthdays and anniversaries roll around and you upgrade your phone, please consider donating your old phone (iPhone 6s or newer with a working camera) to St. C’s to use in our live streaming of services.
