FREE HOT SHOWER
Saturdays 9 to 1 p.m. Soup Kitchen 10 to 1 p.m. St. Jude’s Episcopal Church is delighted to re-open the public showers, beginning Saturday, June 5th. The weekly Saturday Hot Shower & Hot Meal outreach program will resume’, after a 15 month hiatus, due to the Corona virus pandemic. Hours of operation are 9 a.m. to noon. To accommodate pandemic safety concerns, a few changes have been made to the shower protocol. Masks will be required on the church grounds. All shower clients must sign up for a time slot, beginning at 9 a.m. Social distancing will be observed and temperatures will be taken during the shower sign-up. Shower times will be limited to 15 minutes to be sure there is ample time for thorough disinfecting of the shower between clients. Since the shower ministry opened in September of 2013, over 8,000 showers have occurred at St. Jude’s. The congregation recognizes how important the hot showers are to the community and are very happy to re-start this program. Community volunteers are welcome and there is no church service attendance required for anyone who participates in the shower ministry. |

Saying a Prayer with a Hula
The Hannah Makana Ohana Hula practices at St. Jude’s twice each week. Hannah Uribes is the Kumu for the group, which means she is their leader, teacher, model, and guide. She is also their choreographer; so, she designs each dance and then teaches her Ohana (family) how to dance it.
All of the music Hannah choreographers her dances to are used by the church, or approved by the church. Some are actually based on a prayer, for example, one of their Hulas is "The Queens Prayer", which was composed by Queen Liliuokalani of Hawaii in 1895.
In Hula, the hand motions are a type of hand signals or language, similar to what a deaf person might use, and while they are perform a hula, they are actually saying a prayer or singing a song with their hands.
The Episcopal Church in Hawaii began in 1862 when King Kamehameha IV and Queen Emma invited the Church of England to Hawaii‘i. Their custom was that part of their service included saying a prayer and singing a song with a hula.
St. Jude’s includes several parts of the rich Hawaiian culture in their service each week. For example:
We start each Sunday service by blowing a Conch Shell Horn to the east and the west, they usually sing a Hawaiian songs, in the Hawaiian language, as part of their service, and at least once each month, and on special occasions such as Easter and Christmas Eve, the Hannah Makana Ohana Hulu performs a Hula prayer as part of their Service.
