Hurricane Ian
As you may know some of Kahu's+ family had to evacuate ahead of this storm in Sarasota and Venice, Florida. They were spared damage but are helping neighbors who were less fortunate. ECWK will be holding a bake sale in 2023, at Hanapepe Art Night and send the proceeds to their churches in Florida. Please let Kahu+ know if you are able to help. Also see the message below from our Bishop.
