The 80th All-Tenrikyo Hinokishin Day in Hawaii

Lewis — Tue, 01 May 2012 04:24:41 +0000

Amy, Catherine & Miyaky

The 80th All Tenrikyo Hinokishin Day for Honolulu was held in beautiful weather at Honolulu Zoo with a total of over 150 participants (23 from Pearl Church)! I would like to thank everyone for your support in participating and helping bring food and other supplies to the event. Barbara Thacker of the Honolulu Zoo volunteer division said that this was our 26th consecutive year at the Zoo and expressed their appreciation for our continued efforts. She mentioned that some of us were probably kids when we first came and now they (those kids) are bringing their kids!

All Tenrikyo Hinokishin Day at Honolulu Zoo 2012

Lewis — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 06:30:15 +0000

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

Lewis — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 11:38:38 +0000

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。
