Amen. Amen. Good morning. Welcome. You can be seated. Glad you're here.

Those of you joining us online, we're glad that you are as well.

All right. Well, before we get started, I want to thank everyone who reached out to us, those of you online, concerning these unprecedented fires on the island of Maui.

We, of course, are here on the island of Oahu and as such are unaffected.

However, I do want to share with you what we're doing as a church.

While there is certainly more to this as more information becomes available,

I'm not going to take the time to address that aspect of it.

Today, I don't think it's the right time, nor would it be

appropriate. And the reason being is that we as a church are focusing on meeting the immediate needs

of our Maui Ohana, of which there are many.

And for those asking about donating, and this is very important,

please, please, please be very careful and prayerful

because there are many scams from many people asking for money for Maui which we would never do so

especially for those of you online if you ever see the church name my name asking for money

it's not us it's a scam it's a fraudulent account we've dealt

with it for years we never do that but what we will do are doing and have already

done is have Honolulu Freight pick up pallets of food and supplies that we already had here at the church,

at the ready, for such a time as this. Pictured here as Brother David, loading one of the many

pallets here at the church. This was on Friday morning, and they were delivered to our contacts at

Hawaii Stivadors yesterday, Saturday at Pier 1. Mike Lau, who is a dear friend and brother

that many of you know well, especially after he shared his testimony with

his son, Micah. This was a few months back. He's still with Hawaii Stevedores as a working foreman
