Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.

2 Corinthians 1:3-4

Aloha Salt + Light Ohana!

In light of the recent and tragic events that took place in our Diamond Head community, this Sunday, January 26th, we will be having a special worship service to pray for God’s comfort and peace in the lives of our neighbors and our neighborhood. Let’s pray and believe God will come and heal hearts!

As we pray for and come alongside our neighbors in this trying time, we also want to help meet needs with God’s resources. Many have been asking how they can help the families affected…

This Sunday, our church will also be taking up a special love offering to help two Waikiki School families. One family has five children, and they were all at church when they heard the terrible news. The other family has one child, and the mother was one of the stabbing victims. (She was recently released from the hospital and is recovering.) Both families lost their homes and all their belongings in the fire.

If you would like to give towards the special love offering this Sunday to help these two families, you can write a check to: Salt + Light Hawaii (memo line: For Waikiki School Families).

Just last week, we were asking God to show us how to love our neighborhood when the terrible tragedy unfolded… I believe God has strategically located us for such a time as this.

Let’s continue to love God and our neighbors this Sunday, by praying and giving.

Church, thank you for praying. Thank you for continuing to follow Jesus out into our community, to those who so desperately need His hope and help at this time.

Following Him,

Pastor Max
