THE EPIPHANY E-STAR – August 17, 2023 
 
We were all saddened by the horrific and historic fires that devastated Lahaina, Hawaii this past week. High winds from Hurricane Dora and drought conditions combined to accelerate the growth of brush fires that devastated the Lahaina community in Hawaiʻi. Episcopal Relief & Development is in contact with the Episcopal Diocese of Hawaiʻi in the wake of wildfires that have killed many people and displaced hundreds of families on Maui. They are calling on churches to help support the response. Please consider visiting episcopalrelief.org to make a donation today.
 
Renovations are coming right along. The new cabinets were installed last Thursday.  Painters have finished in the PH.  Next step is countertops for the kitchen.
 
We will keep everyone updated as we complete each major step of the renovations.
