Looking Ahead
2010 Annual Lūʻau
“Ka Malu O Keawalaʻi”
Saturday, March 13, 2010
Keawalaʻi Congregational Church, United Church of Christ, will be celebrating its annual lūʻau on Saturday, March 13, 2010 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. The lūʻau will feature the mele and hula of Nā Hanona Kūlike ʻO Piʻilani with nā Kumu hula Kaponoʻai Molitau and Sissy Lake Farm as well as the music of the Brown ʻOhana.
The theme for the lūʻau – “Ka Malu O Keawalaʻi” – is from the hīmeni that was written and composed by Randie Kamuela Fong for Nā Leo Nahenahe, the adult choir of Keawalaʻi. The hīmeni will be featured as the title track for a new CD that will be recorded by the choir in 2010. Kahu Kealahou Alika said, “The translation provided by Fong for the title is ʻIn the Haven of Keawalaʻi’ and so the lūʻau will highlight the significance of the church as a puʻuhonua or place of refuge.”
Tickets are available for $35.00 for adults and $5.00 for children 12 years and younger. Please contact the church at (808) 879-5557 or at keawalai@hawaii.rr.com for tickets and other in formation.

Candles will be used in the service to represent Jesus Christ as the Light of the world.
