We want to once again thank Tomo Kaisho for his donation of a 2005 Savana 15-passenger van which just completed repairs, safety check and registration.
At the same time, we bid farewell and express our thanks to our 89 Dodge van which has served us faithfully for 7 years from 2007. I will be putting it up for sale on Craigslist, but before that I want to make it available to our church members or their friends who might be interested in purchasing it. See below for photos.
It’s has a little over 104,000 miles on it.
It’s a 15-passenger, but sits only 11 due to the back bench seat was removed and disposed of to make space to load equipment.

Sorry for this late notice, but our Spring Memorial Service will be on Sunday, March 30 from 8am. Let’s join our hearts together in joy and gratitude for our ancestors and those who contributed to our present way of life.

As an activity leading up to Oyasama’s 130th Anniversary the Mission Headquarters will be conducting a Yoboku Gathering this Saturday, March 15, 9am – 11:30am.
The anniversary of Oyasama is a season to reaffirm our faith and to resolve to do salvation work as Yoboku (timber) to serve as material in building the Joyous Life world. If we pay attention to those around us, we will realize that many people are worrying about their health problems, family issues, and relationship concerns. In order to settle the mind to work for the salvation of others and fulfill our role as Yoboku, let us attend this event as an important step in realizing our goal.
Setsumi’s brother Rev. Toshi Yukimoto of Central Fresno Church will be our guest speaker. The program will also include two video presentations.
To get an idea of how many will be attending from Pearl Church, please respond to this email indicating whether you will be attending or not.
Mahalo for your support.
Rev. Owen Nakao
We had the honor of having the Bishop and his family attend this month’s service. I would like to thank everyone for your support, offerings and for joining us in welcoming him and taking the time to get to know him and Mrs. Yamanaka. We had a record number of attendees at 35.
February 2014 Sermon: Eternal Virtue
I would like to thank all those who came out to do Hinokishin at TCC today. There was some rain, but not enough to dampen our spirits! We had a record 12 people from Pearl Church participate. Good job and Mahalo!
Rev. Owen and Taeko
Thank you everyone for your sincere offerings and dedicated hinokishin in the community and for the Path.
This month’s service is called the January Grand Service instead of monthly service because we are observing Oyasama’s withdrawal from physical life which occurred on January 26, 1887. She is not reborn into another human body, like the rest of us, but that She is everliving in spirit, working day and night for world salvation.
We were mentioning to some of you that the “new” Bishop and Mrs. Yamanaka would be attending the Pearl Church service for the first time since he became bishop, however, due to the untimely passing of his brother in Japan, he will be cancelling his visit to attend the funeral.
We are disappointed, however, we urge everyone make every effort to attend and worship just the same.
Miracles do happen and in our sermon, we will be discussing how we should use seemingly negative situations in a positive way and resolve to plant good seeds that will lead us to the Joyous Life.

Our hearts and prayers go out to people of the Philippines as they deal with the aftermath of a severe storm. The latest news from CNN report:
Tacloban, Philippines (CNN) — More than a week after Typhoon Haiyan laid waste to much of the central Philippines, the toll is overwhelming: entire communities flattened, thousands dead and nearly 2 million people displaced.
The arrival in recent days of hundreds of aid workers and military troops has seen a flood gate of humanitarian aid — food, water and medical supplies — open, albeit sporadically, in the hard hit provinces.
Crews continued Saturday to collect bodies from streets, with the death toll raised to 3,633, according to the national disaster agency’s official death count.
The number of injured stood at 12,487, the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council reported. At least 1,179 were missing.
The mission hq of Hawaii haven’t made any announcement yet, but we would like to start a monetary collection drive to help the survivors of this disaster. We will report later as to which humanitarian agency it will be sent to, but it will most likely be the Red Cross.
Rev. Owen Nakao
