Thursday Open House

Hokuloa Church welcomes visitors to tour the chapel and grounds every Thursday from 10-2. Talk with the volunteers. Meditate in the chapel. Have a picnic lunch on the grounds. The volunteers are on hand to clean, prune, print the order of service, and most importantly gather for lunch and conversation. Please join us for the fun and fellowship on Thursdays at the church.

Talk Story Gathering

The monthly small group Talk Story is a way for the in-person and on-line folks to get to know each other and build relationships. You don't need to be on Hawai'i Island to be part of the Hokuloa 'Ohana!

This is an opportunity to meet on line (via Zoom) and share news, conversations, and stories with 'ohana from across Hawai'i Island and the Mainland.
