Aloha Sisters and Brothers at Holy Innocents,
It is with much happiness that I accept the call to become your next Vicar. Sylvia and I are both looking forward to our faith journey together with you.
I have been so blessed to be with you as a supply priest, even as the uncertainties and changes brought about by Covid led to some Sundays being put on hold. And during this challenging time, you have continued to work together, keeping your focus and spirit on members (those who could attend and also those who couldn’t), the community, and the mission of Holy Innocents. You live the aloha spirit!
Your love for each other and those around you is evident, and I see in you a genuine openness and inclusiveness that expresses ‘ohana and God’s love. Every week that I have been with you, I have heard from visitors of the open warmth of Holy Innocents, a feeling of Christ’s loving welcome that has touched the hearts of so many who have come through the front doors.
I look forward to us exploring the mission and ministries to which God is calling us. As we build on the past, we’ll also see what the future holds. And all of this with shared conversations, fellowship, and community. Together, we can move into a future that celebrates and expands on Holy Innocents’ ways of loving welcome and faithfulness in mission and ministry.
God has good things in store… Let's see what they are!
Blessings,
Bruce+
