Would you join me in prayer? Lord, you are so good. And as Pastor J.D. says, Lord, no matter how difficult

or trying the circumstances, how heavy-weighted those circumstances are, Lord, you are so good.

I pray that we will sing that until eternity Lord.

We thank you for this time of worship, Lord, and we pray that you would be here with us.

Holy Spirit, Lord, would you teach us, Lord, this morning.

Thank you, Jesus.

In Jesus' name, amen.

Amen. Amen. Good morning. You can be seated.

I want to welcome those of you that are joining us online. We're so glad that you are. Before we get started, though, I want to take a moment and provide you with an update on our ongoing relief efforts for our Maui Ohana.

First, we want to, this is really important, thank those of you who gave financially,

very generously, by the way, though we haven't asked for money, nor do we ever ask for money.

We want you to know that 100% of any and all monies that are sent are getting directly into the hands of those who have the greatest immediate financial needs,

and here's how and here's why. I spent last week on the phone with Pastor Steve Santos

of Calvary Chapel Westside whose church was in Lahaina. They had a building that they rented

for their midweek and it's still standing. Everything else has gone around it, but they still can't

get to it. But anyway, he, I just had a lot of questions.

We spent a lot of time on the phone, talking together, crying together.

We've already sent money and it will be distributed to people by way of gift cards for places like

Costco, etc. That's just logistically the best way to do it at this juncture.

Also as of right now, the hotels are housing people who lost their homes.

So they are offering these hotel rooms temporarily at no cost, but at such a time as maybe there is a cost.

The monies that we send will also be used for that as needed.
