​QUIET MORNINGS AT CHRIST MEMORIAL 
A Quiet Morning at Christ Memorial is a mini-spiritual retreat. Our 3-hour silent retreats begin 9:00 AM, with a Taize-style prayer service, followed by an instruction and practice, and we end with a healthy lunch. There is time built into the morning for meditation, journaling or labyrinth walks.

​LET'S PLAY MINI GOLF!
Join fellow Christ Memorial parishioners for some fun every last Sunday of the month at the Anaina Hou Mini Golf & Gardens!  We play 18 holes of fun mini golf surrounded by a Hawaiian Botanical Garden. Journey through the history of Hawai'i and its tropical flora, while water hazards, pipe shots and other obstacles make for a fun and challenging game for all ages. Mini golf is free with a Hawaiian ID on Sundays.

CHRIST MEMORIAL STEWARDSHIP TIME
November 10-24, 2019

Prayer:  

Magnificent Holy Father. 
I stand before you at this altar. So many have given you more.
I may not have much I can offer. Yet what I have is truly yours. 
This is my offering, dear Lord. 
This is my offering to You, God.

This year, Christ Memorial's stewardship drive takes place November 10-24, 2019.  Please consider making a pledge and completing a pledge offering card.  Completing the pledge offering card enables the treasurer and the Bishop’s Committee to create a budget for the church. To be part of the church collective means we all share in the cost of being a church. We want our church to have inspiring worship; pastoral care for those in need; beautiful church grounds; programs to learn and grow; and tools to reach out to those who are seeking a closer relationship with God.   Pledges may also be made online, and automatic payments set up through PayPal.  Visit the Radical Giving webpage HERE for more information.
