Thank you to those who came for the monthly service and for your sincere offerings!

Revolutionary method of treatment of illness and solving problems via ancient Hawaiian teaching. Read the sermon!

A group photo of some of the people who came for the monthly service. Eighteen people in attendance which was good considering the people who usually comes, but didn't.

For all seeking and treading the path of the Joyous Life!

I would like to thank you all for your help and support for the Annual Tenrikyo Bazaar held on August 24th. Due to God's blessing and Oyasama's guidance 24 people connected with Pearl Church came to help at the bazaar making ohagi, bubble drinks, helping with parking, driving the shuttle van, provide entertainment and help with the clean up. Awesome!

I was doing door to door nioigake today and an elderly man said, "yes, it's when we are sick or injured that we realize how thankful we should be for our health. When we are well, we take things for granted and complain."

That's why we have church! Take the time to give your thanks not only for your health, but for all your blessings... this Sunday, September 14, 2008, 10am at Tenrikyo Pearl Church, 1634 10th Avenue. Why go to church to do this? Because to do it at home or in your head is a faith of convenience and not really true faith. True faith is when you make a conscious and sincere effort to connect with God. Walk the walk and bring yourself physically to a place of worship and join with others to perform the service with a unity of mind.

All the Overseas Shohi groups were treated to a special visit by the Shinbashira. He visited the America-Canada-Hawaii group last. He shook hands with everyone. Lucas was a little late in extending his hand since he was way in the back. The Shinbashira thought he shook hands with everyone and turn around to head toward the door, when Lucas finally extended his hand to the Shinbashira's back! Everyone laughed, so the Shinbashira turned around again to shake Lucas' hand.

July Monthly Service!

Last in our series of mental dusts are the ones God the Parent warns us about: Falsehood and Flattery. The opposite of falsehood is honesty. Learn how Abraham Lincoln combined honesty and kindness to become one of America's greatest leaders.
