Parish News
18 December 2017
There is good news to report to the Maui mission parish. Metropolitan Gerasimos and Bishop Apostolos are planning to visit our parish. Just as in past years, I am eagerly looking forward to His Eminence's and His Grace's visit for the Theophany celebration -- a visit that is a great blessing to our parish. During past visits, Metropolitan Gerasimos and Bishop Apostolos have both had great impact upon members of our parish.
Metropolitan Gerasimos is a gifted writer and teacher, and perhaps the best example of these gifts are His Eminence's Encyclicals, which are always encouraging and heartfelt.
Please plan on joining us for this year's Theophany celebration and the Great Blessing of Waters. Below is a schedule of events for this upcoming Theophany celebration and Hierarchical Divine Liturgy service with Metropolitan Gerasimos and Bishop Apostolos.
Fr. Alexander Leong is also coming to Maui to be part of His Eminence's and His Grace's visit.
Choral Music Lessons
On January 26th and 29th, Presvytera Stacey Dorrance of Eikona worked with our parish and taught us about choral music and chanting. This was transformative and so helpful to our mission parish!
Wisdom's Invitation
Wisdom built her house,
And she supported it with seven pillars.
She offered her sacrifices;
She mixed her wine in a bowl
And prepared her table.
She sent her servants,
Inviting people to the bowl with a lofty proclamation, saying,
“He who is without discernment,
Let him turn aside to me;”
And to those in need of discernment, she says,
“Come, eat my bread
And drink the wine I mixed for you;
Forsake lack of discernment, and you shall live;
Seek discernment so you may live,
And keep straight your understanding with knowledge.”
