Aloha e komo mai!
Welcome!
Holy Innocents' is an open minded, open hearted and fully inclusive congregation who virtually worship outdoors thanks to the nave's side walls of sliding windows.
Although modest, the building is handsomely appointed with pictures by Delos Blackmar of New York, painted during a 1940 visit, that adorn the rear wall, pulpit and altar, and depict Hawaiian birds and flora, as well as a Hawaiian Madonna and child. The triptych stained glass windows over the altar came from the parish's church of 1872 which once stood across street. Pews are of kamani and the chancel is finished in koa.

Meet Holy Innocent's new Choir. Under the direction of Holy Innocent's treasurer Deanna Pennington and the newly founded music committee they made a fabulous debut at our Easter Services. Terry Pennington was wonderful as guest organist.

What time is it, again? In our hectic lives, we have lots of ways to keep track of time: work schedules, the kids’ school schedules, holidays, vacations, when to pay the bills, tax deposit dates, etc. That is called Chronos – the way the world has us keep time. The church, in its wisdom, has its own calendar – Kairos – God’s time. We are about half way through the Church Calendar. It starts with Advent – the four Sundays before Christmas. It is a time when we look at what’s missing, what we long for in our lives and in the world. Christmas is that joyful celebration of the Birth of Christ – God so loved the world that he shared the Son with us. We are so keen on Christmas we celebrate it for 12 days. The 6-8 weeks of Epiphany follow when we focus on the meaning of Christmas in our lives and in the world. Then comes Lent – forty days of prayer, reflection and study – again bringing us into the reality of our own lives and world and plumbing our hearts’ desires. Easter is 50 days of celebrating our God of justice and love raising Jesus from the grave to which the powers of this world sought to confine him. We then move into Pentecost and Trinity Sundays celebrating God’s continuing presence in our lives and world. What about the rest of the year? Well, that’s about us. It is about how we are called to be more like Jesus so that the world may be more like the way God would have it be. We will spend the remaining half of the year following Jesus – listening to his teachings, seeing whom he touches and eats with, watching whom he heals and how they respond. In short, we think about how we can be more like Jesus in our own daily lives. Does this sound like a lot? Well, if we go to church most but not all Sundays, it adds up to about 50-60 hours a year spent in Kairos – God’s time. Most of us spend more time than that each week at our jobs, doing domestic chores, paying the bills. I don’t know about you, but after a week of that I need an hour’s time-out on Sunday mornings opting out of the way the world wants me to keep time. Peace and blessings, Fr. Bill |
