Education for Ministry
Continues via ZOOM

Nine members of the Education for Ministry class gathered electronically from their homes, to continue their study. The challenges of technology were overcome and what started out to be a 15 minutes "check in" turned into a 90 minute technology lesson, fellowship, worship and prayer. All laced with joy.

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.
