Celebrate Holy Week!!
Thursday, April 2 is Maundy Thursday
"Take, this is my body." Mark 14:22
We'll gather in the sanctuary at 7pm to remember the last evening of Jesus' life and the meal he
shared with his disciples. Our Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) neighbors from Honolulu
and Wahiawa will join us as well so please consider coming and helping to welcome them.
Friday, April 3 is Good Friday
"And they brought Jesus to a place galled Golgotha (which means the place of the skull)...and
they crucified him." Mark 15:22-23
We will not have a service at CCU for Good Friday but all are encouraged to consider and reflect
in their own way on Jesus' passion during this holy day. Perhaps you might read the story for
yourself (Try Mark 14-15). Or you could join in a Good Friday service at one of our neighboring
churches. St. John Lutheran Church, for instance, at 1004 Kailua Road, will hold a Good Friday
service of Light and Dark at 7pm.
Sunday, April 5 is Easter Sunday!
"He has been raised; he is not here." Mark 16:6
Join us for a lively Easter service with special musical offerings, joyful singing, and an opportunity to share in the joy of the resurrection. Worship will begin at 10am followed by a potluck
brunch (sign up online or on the bulletin board) and an egg hunt for Keiki. Contributions of
plastic eggs and candy are welcome in the week preceding Easter and helping hands to distribute
eggs are always needed the day of. This is a great time to consider bringing a friend or family
member to join us in worship and fellowship.

April 22 is Earth Day! As part of CCU's commitment to care for the earth, you are invited to help
observe this special day by joining us for:
Earth Day Day of Service
Saturday, April 18 9am-Noon
at the Ulupo Heiau & Kawainui Marsh (behind the YMCA)
The heiau, situated alongside the YMCA, is the largest of Kailua's 10 heiau. Our group will work on various
projects which may include pulling out invasive plants, building bird habitats, identifying archaeological
features, and replanting kalo ponds. We will open with a short worship service inviting us into the work of
"malama of the aina" (care of the sacred earth) and then proceed to our tasks. Please come prepared to
work and to get muddy. That is to say you will want to bring sturdy shoes, water, sunscreen, a hat, work
gloves and a sack lunch. Some of our partners from the Windward Coalition of Churches may join us as well,
so let's aim for a good CCU turnout to welcome them.
Earth Sunday
Sunday, April 19
Worship at 10am
Whether or not you're able to join us for the day of service, everyone can participate in our Earth Day
Worship service. We'll take our whole worship service on this day to celebrate God's gift of creation by
sharing prayers for the health of our earth and considering God's invitation to us to steward this precious
treasure.
The awesome Palm Sunday arrangement
was provided by Paul & Dottie Brennan,
and dedicated to Michael, a dear son they
lost, who would now be 39 years old.

Some of you may have remembered receiving an
email (a couple of weeks ago) soliciting stories all
about the animals we love and care for. You were
asked to submit your story and picture to the
Presbyterians Today magazine. Our own Kathy
Summers submitted the following story. Look for it
published in the July/August 2015 issue.
The Family Promise of Hawaii Center is
looking for volunteers who would be
interested in helping in the following ways:


Dixie is a six year old Havanese dog. She is my
service dog and also a therapy dog at two hospitals
here in Hawaii that we visit each week. Many
patients cry when they hold her soft, snuggly body
next to them and feel her unconditional love. She
loves to be held and petted and also to give kisses.
She goes almost everywhere with me and is so small
and so quiet she is always welcome. She is a medical
alert dog for me. I have been training therapy dogs
and service dogs for twenty two years. Our other
therapy dogs all visited the children’s hospital in
Honolulu and I dressed as a clown. The
unconditional love of a dog can bring miracles to
people. Kathy Summers, Christ Church Uniting

Mission & Outreach Commission
By Marian Heidel
The Mission and Outreach Commission (soon to change its name) met on March 7 th to discern how best to
distribute the monies our congregation gives each Sunday to support the needy, the organizations that work
with them and with the social issues of our community, and those that spread the Gospel in our nation and
around the world in Word and deed.
10% of the church’s income is the budget we work with: $20,011. In addition, we carried over some funds
from 2014, which adds $2,221, making it $22,232. Over and above that, we hold three special offerings per

Climate Change Impacts in Hawaii
By Charlene Hosenfeld
Free for the asking is a 30+ page booklet produced in 2014 by the
UH Sea Grant College Program to provide a summary of the current
scientific knowledge about climate change and its expected effects on
Hawaii’s ocean, coastal, terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems and
communities. Some of the findings:
Effects on Hawaii:
Air temperature warming rate has quadrupled in the past 40 years.
Northwesterly tradewinds have decreased.
Rainfall has declined in the past 30 years -- with widely varying
precipitation patterns on the islands.
Sea temperatures have warmed over the past 40 years -- with acceleration of warming expected.
The ocean has acidified due to marine uptake of CO2.
Sea levels have risen on all islands.
Consequences of these changes:
Stress to plants and animals
Heat-related illnesses
Expanded ranges for pathogens and invasive species
Both more drought and more heavy rains, flooding, runoff and
sedimentation
Reduced aquifers and freshwater supplies
Inhibited shell and skeleton growth in corals, shellfish and plankton
Coastal inundation, beach loss, infrastructure damage
Loss of high elevation forests resulting in habitat loss (e.g., for endemic birds)
Decline in tourism, hotel revenues and resultant job losses
Increase in vector-borne diseases (e.g., dengue fever)

The scientists are speaking. Let’s listen…and act.

Memories
by Rosemary Allen
Reprinted from Ka Elele Aloha July 1998
Our recent observance of Memorial Day on a
May Sunday moved me to think of the many
memorials which have become an intrinsic part of
our worship experiences and community life at
Christ Church Uniting. Since both of our “parent”
churches—Windward Christian (Disciples) and
Christ Presbyterian—are nearing 40 years of age,
many of us do not know or do not remember how
all of our sanctuary setting “came together” over
the years.
The very center of the sanctuary—the
communion table—has been with us since our first
worship (1966) in the then, new building. The
beautiful and unique monkey pod table was
created from the cross-section of a huge trunk
piece of monkeypod from the Hawaiian forest. One
of my memories is the day (1966) that the Christ
Presbyterian Church building committee went to a
wood working shop in Honolulu to pick out that
piece of very rough trunk which would become our
communion table.
The communion table was part of a
memorial gift from a California family (the Ralph
Hamans). The gift also included several other
sanctuary pieces—as the lectern, cross,
candlesticks, offering plates, and “clergy chairs”.
Every Sunday we use one of the communion
services. Most often it is the koa or monkeypod
chalice, bowls, and plates—some brought from
Windward Christian Church and others given later
by the Grantham family. Occasionally the lovely
ceramic chalice and plate, given by Heather
McWilliams, is used—and once each quarter we are
served using the silver communion service given by
first Presbyterian Church of Honolulu in 1964.
Our eyes are so often drawn to the stained
glass window, a wonderful depiction of Jesus and
the children and the memorial to Maile Leilani
Gilbert (granddaughter of Bruce and Pat),
dedicated in 1987. Jesus is seen in a Hawaiian
setting, surrounded by a circular rainbow and
holding a group of children of Hawaii’s diverse
cultures, who are brining leis in love to him.
Just below the memorial window and at
either side of the double-door “front” entry are the
Christian and American flags given by June
Grantham in memory of her brother, Carl Hess.
Nearby is the organ, instrument of so much
inspiring music, a memorial to Donald Almy
(husband of our late choir director Camille). Most
of our hymn books were given in memory of
Charles Lozier and Joseph Brighter; part of these
memorial funds also contributed to the organ. The
hymnals we used for many years and now “retired”
were given in memory of Helen Brewbaker.
A three-octave set of handbells is another
part of our musical heritage. These bells were
given in 1983 as a memorial to Gregory Tchou (son
of Peter and Cynthia), Carolyn Rex (former member
and teacher), and Christine Smith (mother of Pat
Gilbert). Three memorial bells inscribed with their
names are displayed each time the Chancel Ringers
play in worship.
Pew Bibles were given in memory of Gladys
Stickler (mother of Karen McWilliams) as was the
large pulpit Bible, in 1991. The pulpit Bible, New
Revised Standard Version, replaced our original
pulpit RSV Bible given to us in 1964 by the
American Bible Society and now in the church
library.
A most unusual part of the CCU sanctuary is
the giant half-clam shell which is our baptismal
font, given to us—as Christ Presbyterian Church,
organized as a church in 1963—by the Kaneohe
Ministers Association. Of course, the other vital
part of the sacrament of baptism in this merged
church family is the large immersion pool
concealed behind the handsome rail and altar-top
under our central cross. The cross used in worship
at the Windward Christian church is now hanging in
the pastor’s study in this building.
The floral arrangements each Sunday are
living memorials given by many different people. A
special koa base platform (“Kadai”) is used to hold
these arrangements and is a memorial to Gregory
Tchou. A true living memorial to Gregory is the
now-towering Norfolk pine near the cross & sign on
the outside wall of the church. It was planted and
dedicated just after Christmas of 1975; the Norfolk
pine had been placed in the sanctuary that year as
part of our Advent/Christmas decorations.

More Memories
by Rosemary Allen
Reprinted from Ka Elele Aloha August 1998
Susan Wilson reminded me that our silver
communion pitcher was given to us by Mary Ralph
when she and Earl (now deceased) moved from Kailua
several years ago. Both were active in this church for
many years; Mary now lives in Camarillo, CA.
June Grantham is another good storer of
memories. She sent more details of the 1986
dedication of our American and Christian flags, given
as a memorial to her brother, Carl Hess. Carl was 27
years old when he died while a prisoner of the
Germans during World War II on Christmas Eve 1944.
He had landed in Europe with the D-Day assault on
June 6, 1944; six months later he was wounded and
taken prisoner. Carl’s birthday was Flag Day, June 14
(1917)!
We have has several memorials other than
those in the sanctuary. June also reminded us that
memorial funds for the late Wayne Protheroe were
used to set up the parking areas for disabled persons
and also the wheelchair access ramp and signs.
Wayne was involved for many years with programs for
disabled/handicapped persons and was a prime mover
in starting the Junior Olympics in Hawaii.
The library and nursery are areas of the Christ
Church Uniting that have had memorial gifts over the
years, particularly for books given as memorials to
friends and family or as birthday gifts from children. In
1986 nursery renovations were made in memory of
Fern Sutton and hers years of work and concern for
our children. Although our nursery has since been
enlarged, it still contains furnishings and a dedication
wall hanging from that time. The library area has a
wall plaque in memory of Glenna Albers, who
organized the original library and worked for many,
many hours in it through the ‘60s and ‘70s.
The Bruce Shadbolt memorial (1990) is a bit
different in that it is dedicated for funding mission
concerns. It has been used to underwriter
scholarships to Asilomar Mission Conferences and is
available for participants in future mission outreach
education events. Bruce was active in mission
concerns and also is well remembered for his musical
talents shared with so many during his lifetime.
A recent letter from Bob Hemphil (now living in
Continued from page 8
Beautiful banners, changing according to the
liturgical seasons, have been created and given by
many people over the years. In recent times, Mary
Ann Wyman and Jan Stiles have been among those
talented artists. Mary Ann also created the colorful
woven butterfly which flies above us each
Eastertime.
Even the pew seating we enjoy now comes
partly from memorial giving—as indeed does the
church building itself. (Did you know that for many
years we had only rows of folding chairs?) There are
long lists of people who contributed to these funds
— people from near and far, many who now live
elsewhere and many who are still right here! Their
loving gifts have enriched all of us as we worship
together — and we say MAHALO!

Olympia, WA) responded to the July (1998) article
from the perspective of a church historian. Bob was
active here during the early times of the merger and
reminds us of the unique challenge of “two
denominational sources flowing into one unified
church.” He suggests doing a church history; that this
is a good time for it! Mahalo, Bob, for your
continuing active interest!
And MAHALO to all who have shared
memories! If any more such thoughts come to the
surface, please give Rosemary a call.

Sanctuary Update Project to Get Underway! Let your voice be heard!
After worship on Sunday, April 12, an initial meeting about the sanctuary renovation project will take place
in the sanctuary. Everyone in the congregation is welcome (and encouraged!) to attend and to bring their
ideas, questions, suggestions, skills, expertise, visions and dreams about our worship space.
We already have a lot of suggestions on what could be done and what needs to be done but this first
meeting will be an initial organizational gathering: an opportunity to discuss our vision for this project and to
shape a general overview of how to approach the renovation.
Whether you have some ideas you want to share or plan be directly involved with the selection process—
even if you simply want to sit in the back and listen—please come and be a part of this exciting undertaking:
the first major renovation of our worship space in 40 years! See you there!!!
Below are some questions and items to think about in preparation:
Questions:
1. What do we want and need from our worship and gathering space?
2. How does our space help us to worship now? How could it do better?
3. How do the aesthetics of our sanctuary help point us to God?
4. Which are the elements/fixtures/items in our sanctuary that are essential and must remain? Which can
we change?
Possible items of business for April 12:
1. Discuss a basic color scheme & formulate plans to wash and paint the sanctuary.
2. Consider new lighting fixtures. (Multi-pendant, flush-mounted, modern, traditional, incandescent, LED,
dimmable?)
3. Discuss flooring material. (Wood, laminate, vinyl, tile, cork, stone, etc? Carpet or no carpet?)
4. Consider replacement for benches. (New benches? Chairs? Other?).
5. Imagine our ideal seating arrangement including placement of chairs/benches, choir, baptistry, etc.
(Maintain U-shape? Circular? “V” shape?)
6. Brainstorm new possibilities for the front of our sanctuary or “altar” area. (Create an accent wall behind
the cross? Replace the lectern and usher’s station? Maintain/eliminate rised platform?)
7. Create a vision for the rest of our sanctuary space, especially the back area. (Discuss adding a raised, limited access control booth for the AV system in the back of the sanctuary. Consider adding an “out-ofsight” storage area. Figure out whether additional adult meeting space is feasible there.)
8. Think about other sanctuary maintenance/repair projects. (Replace or repair the glass sliding doors.
Highway-side window replacement. Reorganize storage at back of sanctuary. Add steel storage racks in
the old a/c room.)
NOTE: We are presently budgeted and approved by the congregation to address the first four items.

EASTER SPECIAL OFFERING on Easter Sunday
Sharing resources, changing lives; doing more than we could do alone. That is what the special offering
taken on Easter (or any Sunday this month) is all about. Through the One Great Hour of Sharing and the
Week of Compassion campaigns, we join about nine other
denominations in this offering which goes to help people affected
by disasters, hunger & poverty, and to aid them in self-help
programs. Last year we raised $ 1,357; can we surpass that this
year? Special envelopes will be available for your offering. Please
give generously! Week of compassion video can be viewed at:
