Prepare to Sing "Gather Us In" at the ‘Aha
The ‘Aha Pae‘āina is approaching — and with it, the opportunity to gather together in person at last! There will be deliberations and discernment, reconnections and fellowship, singing and worship! With that in mind, we joyfully offer this video to introduce you to a hymn we will be singing during our opening worhsip service, with a special verse in ‘Ōlelo Hawai‘i written to celebrate our theme as God is making all things new: Ho‘āla Hou!
We call all guitar and 'ukulele players to join in and especially the voices of ALL God's people gathered together as our wider church, the Hawai‘i Conference!
Listen, learn, sing and play along, and be ready to make a joyful noise when we're together!

This sounds like such a meaningful and uplifting event! I’m really excited about the opportunity to gather together in person again and celebrate in community. The hymn and the special verse in ‘Ōlelo Hawai‘i are a beautiful way to honor the theme of renewal, “Ho‘āla Hou.” It’s wonderful to see how tradition, worship, and fellowship are coming together to create such a special experience. Can’t wait to join in and be part of this celebration! level devil
