A Message from our Rector

Aloha kakou,
Did you know that this is the last Sunday before we enter into the Lenten season?  Most of you remember that we do not say "Alleluia" in our services during Lent.  The Alleluias return at the Easter vigil when the resurrection is proclaimed.  There have been many ways in which a "farewell" to the Alleluia has been observed during the ages.  In medieval Paris, a straw figure bearing in golden letters the inscription "Alleluia" was carried out at the end of the service and burned in the court yard.  We will not get that dramatic this week.  However, please do take notice of how we say goodbye to the Alleluia at the end of this week's service.  And, fear not.  Our Alleluias will be that much more joyful and welcome after several weeks without them.  
​
Epiphany blessings to you, as we prepare for the Season of Lent,
Giovan+
