Passionate
Worship
"Snacks Forever" Reminders:
Thank you to all who have volunteered to prepare snacks and drinks for
our fellowship time after church service. We appreciate your
participating is this important part of our church ministry. This year
we are making changes to the program. We ask those who prepare snacks
to keep it simple by preparing only "finger foods" (e.g., cookies,
pastries, and fruits) so that we can eliminate the need for paper
plates and plastic forks and thus reduce the amount of waste we
produce. With today's emphasis on ecology and
preserving the environment, we believe this is that way to go. If you
have any questions, please contact Shirley Murakami at 488-0634.
Mahalo MVC for
supporting the mission of Honolulu Habitat for Humanity! The
Certificate of Appreciation is posted on the bulletin board.
