All Tenrikyo Hinokishin Day at Honolulu Zoo 2012
The "All" Tenrikyo Hinokishin Day will be held next week Saturday 4/28, 9am - 11am at Honolulu Zoo. We will be wearing the brown or navy blue "one world, one family" t-shirt. If you still have the lime green one, you may wear that one if you wish. Also, if you have, please bring your own outdoor dust pans, rakes and brooms. Make sure you indicate your name on it so that it can be identified if it is mixed with other similar equipment
If you want to purchase the new one, please let me know your size by tomorrow. Also if you plan to ride on the school bus from Pearl Church 8:10 or Palolo Pool 8:20am. Please let me know asap, so we can hold your seat. It may be wise to take the school bus as the parking situation may be difficult.
Also, we're planning to serve chili dog on rice or bun for Pearl Church members and friends. I need volunteers to:
- pickup Zippy's chili (one bucket).
- bring hot dogs (40 cooked).
- bring steamed rice (8 cups with paddle)
I'll be bringing the paper goods, hot dog buns, condiments, some water, a table and mat.

February 2012 Monthly Service
February is Valentine's Day month. For those of us who are single and seeking a relationship, it's a good time to express your attraction to that special someone and who knows, it made end up into marriage. But alas, sometimes it's not that simple and you need to be prepared for "you're not for me" or vice versa, "Sorry, but I'm not for you." Love is such a finicky thing and a lot depends on what God has in store for you and whether you are ready for it or not.
２月１４日はバレンタインスデーです。独身たちは好きな人にプレゼントさしあげます。もしかしたらお互いすきになって毛紺するかもしれない。しかし、あいじょうはそんなかんたんでわありません。せいしんてきにじゅんびしてるかしら？また、かみさまのおもわくもあります。
For those of us who already have that "significant other," it's a good time to reaffirm our love and commitment and not take him or her for granted.
もう結婚してるばいはおたがいのあいじょうとどりょくあたりまいとおもいないで、かんしゃするときです。
And that's one of the keys to a happy life: not taking anything or anyone for granted. And I believe this is part of the message conveyed by our recent speaker Mrs. Toshie Toriumi, who will be sharing her final Part 2 of her remarkable life in her faith experience speech this Sunday.
それがひとつのようきゆうさんのKeywordとおもいます。なんでも、だれでも、あたりまいとおもいないように。 これがこんどの鳥海敏江さんのお話のPointとおもいます。 先月のつずきPart 2のお話していただきます。
Please join us in prayer for universal brotherhood, of gratitude and joy.
どうぞ、よろずたすけのつとめをさんかに来てください。 感謝、つつしみ、よろこび。

BGA Leadership Camp and Annual New Year Park Cleanup & BBQ Picnic
Dear Members and Friends,
Thank you to all of you for coming out to help at the leadership camp and park cleanup. From Pearl Church there was one participant at the camp and eight at the park cleanup
The leadership camp and park cleanup was blessed with 8 participants including 5 girls and 3 boys of which 2 were first timers. There was a good mixture of experienced and beginner participants which enhanced the camp for all involved. The experienced campers helped out the first timers and newer leaders.
We would like to thank leadership workshop conductors Ms. Jennifer Kakitani (communication skills) and Mr. David Inouye (teamwork & general leadership skills) for conducting their workshops. The workshops provided opportunities for leaders to develop their skills as well as fine tune some skills. With different workshop conductors from previous camps, the leaders were exposed to different styles and different outlooks. Thank you Jennifer and David!
Also special thanks to Lt. Matthew Matsuoka for inviting us for a tour of the Barbers Point Coast Guard station in which camp participants got to see actual rescue equipment such as helicopters and planes first hand and up close. They also saw a video of rescue operations. Lt. Matsuoka, a helicopter pilot, said that Tenrikyo played a big role in his life especially in joining the Coast Guard, where he could literally "save people".
The Moiliili Stadium Park Cleanup and BBQ picnic went without a hitch with an estimated 70 participants. There were some new faces in among the participants and as always, is so hopeful to see small toddlers, working so hard to clean the park. A lot of white and man made trash littered the park and you could tell what a big difference we made in beautifying the park. It was a good time to reconnect with members of other affiliations. Thank you to the YMA for setting up the canopies, tables, chairs and help with the BBQing!
Sincerely,
Rev. Owen Nakao
January Grand Service 2012
Happy New Year Everyone!
Taeko and I would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for your dedicated hinokishin efforts and sincere offerings in support of Pearl Church during this past year. Mahalo nui loa!
We will be conducting the January Grand Service this Sunday, January 8, 2012 at 10am. The January Grand Service is to commemorate Oyasama's withdrawal from physical life on January 26, 1887, when she "stepped out" (of her body) to "level the ground (for world salvation)."
2011 Report
- Our monthly service attendance average was 20.8 in 2011, down from 24.5 in 2010.
- The sazuke was administered 435 times. Up 7 times from 418 times in 2010.
- The highlights of 2011 were: Boy's & Girl's Association Spring Camp in March (4 adult volunteers, no children attendees), the Hawaii Convention (11 attendees), the Children's Pilgrimage to Jiba (6 attendees); the annual Tenrikyo Bazaar (16 volunteers) and the completion of a rain barrel system utilizing rain water for plants and car washing. Numbers are based on attendees from Pearl Church only.The Hawaii Convention held on May 28-30 at the Hilton Hawaiian Village provided opportunities for members to share their faith with followers from around the world and learn different aspects of the teachings. Members from Pearl Church held key positions in conducting and contributing to the success of the Convention.
- We are now in the second year of the three-year, one thousand days before the mission headquarters 60th Anniversary on May 17, 2014 and the Pearl Church 80th Anniversay in the same year (date to be set). We would like to set goals for spiritual growth in order that we may commemorate the anniversary in a manner befitting our maturity and the number of years since establishment.
- In looking forward to 2012 we would like to again resolve to administer the sazuke this year is at least 500 times to remain focused on our mission as yoboku (useful timber: those who are using the sazuke) in buidling the joyous life world. Please send me an email everytime you administer the sazuke so that we may record the event.
- Also, in addition we would like to schedule service (hand dance & narimono) practices every 4th Sunday at 10am. Please make every effort to attend as we work toward our 80th Anniversary in 2014.
Sincerely,
Rev. Owen Nakao
