Gift continue from page one Over thirty years ago, Halaki had received a handmade copper plaque as a gift from inmates from Hawaii, who were residents of a mainland correctional facility in the Washington Federal Penitentiary system close to Seattle. During visit to the correctional facil-ity she danced the Hula and fellowshipped with the inmates from 1977-1979. Because they truly appreciated Halaki’s dancing and talk story sessions, she was presented with a handmade gift of love which now hangs prominently within our St. Mary’s sanctuary.

Thought this wonderful piece of art had been in Halaki’s home since she first graciously received it, the family made a decision to bless the church with its presence. They wanted a “more fitting venue to be displayed”...“so more people could enjoy it.”

The host for the February 8th Aloha Hour was Don and Denise Hargarten.

Many remarked how tasty the food and friendly the host were.

The Hargarten’s are just one of many host that weekly blest us with the abundance God has given them. Don and Denise Hargarten

“Do you here, in the presence of God and the community of St. Mary, renew the promises you made to love and cherish your partner above all others?”

We thank you, heavenly Father, for consecrating our relationships with your loving presence. Lead us now into ever deeper bonds of companionship; that we may enjoy the fruits of your kingdom with those we love; through Christ our Lord. Amen!
