HELP TO THE HAITIANS

      Frances Matsuoka’s daughter in law is Darlene Matsuoka who is a trauma nurse working in state of Washington.   Darlene is married to Dale, Frances’ son.   She has signed up to work with the surgical physicians which will take her to Haiti for a two-week assignment.

RECYCLED CARD PROGRAM

The Church School children are collecting used greeting cards (all occasion greeting cards) and will prepare them for mailing and then send them to St. Jude’s Ranch for Children where the children will make them into new greeting cards. Deadline to bring in your used cards is February 21st. A box is in the C.E. building to put the cards in.  Won’t you help us.  Maybe you may have lots of Christmas cards you don’t want to keep any longer.  Bring them to church.  Thank you.

EARTHQUAKE RELIEF

Donations are being collected to help the people in Haiti.  Checks and all donations should be made out to Hollywood Independent Church and marked OGHS Haiti Earthquake Relief.  We will then send the money to the Conference office to be used through the Wider Church Ministries. 

LLOYD ISHIMARU

     Please keep Lloyd in your thoughts and prayers as he recovers from his recent illness.  He is minding the doctors and doing everything he is told to do so he is being a good patient.  Pray for his quick recovery.

 

 

HIRO ABE

 

     He scared us with his heart.  He has to be careful with his diet and take it easy and forbid him from climbing ladders to the roof.  After all he is 88 years young now.

     Yes, Hiro, listen to your good wife and the doctor, okay.   Hiro just can’t stay at home…that’s why he was at church on Sunday!!!

“GOD IS STILL SPEAKING”

On February 12, 2006, Harold and Ellen Kameya dedicated a huge “GOD IS STILL SPEAKING” banner which Harold made at his shop. . It was a work of art! Harold brought his own tools, ladder, drill, and hammer and while hanging the huge banner on the church building, he looked across the street and noticed that the original banner on the CE bldg looked so tired, that he repositioned the old banner so it looked fresh again.

The banner was blessed by our Rev. John during service.

The banner looks very good and you just can’t help but notice it on the front of the church entrance.
Thank you so much for all your hard work and dedication Harold and Ellen. We all appreciate what you do for us.
