FREE WIFI
St. Jude’s provides a Free WiFi Hot Spot for the citizens in Ocean View. They can also charge their cell phones and computers. St. Jude has been affectionately named the "Patron Saint of WiFi" for the Ocean View community. You are welcome to use our Free WiFi any time, and there is no password required. During our Sunday services it is still accessible from the church parking lot, or you are welcome in our courtyard. |

Free Computer Lab
Open to the public, St. Jude's Computer Lab provides the only place in Ka'u to use a computer and printer for free. Free Wifi, office supplies and tech support is also available.
Currently we are open on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. More hours will be available once volunteers are trained. If you're interested in being a computer lab volunteer, please contact Don Hatch at don.hatch@hatchville.com . |

Our group has just finished its second season of playing together. Each Monday afternoon we rehearsed at St. Jude's Episcopal Church from 1:00 until about 2:00. We learned to play some familiar tunes, classical selections as well as music written especially for handbills. This year we learned some new ringing techniques, too! Our group has a mix of experienced musicians and novices who are learning the basics of music notation.
Performing gives purpose to our rehearsing. At Christmas we shared some seasonal favorites with the Ocean View Seniors and Nutrition group. Later on we played at two memorial services and hosted an afternoon concert. As we look forward to the fall we hope that others will consider joining our group. We will welcome anyone who would like to ring the bells! Our rehearsals resume Monday, November 27th at 1 p.m. Isabelle For more information contact Williams.isabelle01@gmail.com |
