so grateful for our year-round warmth. Ihave orchids, roses, and papayas inbloom and oh, yes, green beans and atree full of ripe lemons.

uary birthdays and his second birth.

One of our ladies has a heart for the

teenage girls in our congregation andcommunity. She is planning to start agroup meeting in her home to encouragethem to grow in knowledge of the Biblewith a desire to love and serve Him. She

is going to start by using a book called"Girl Talk". I've outlined the first lesson

with notes so that the girls can help herread the catchy stories by the author.She has such high hopes and plans forthe class. I pray that the girls willrespond, and that she will have thestrength and health to carry out herplans. Mothers are excited about it.

My oldest granddaughter, LeilaniKing, will graduate from the Universityof Northern Colorado on May 8. Lord

wiling, our ^vhole familj' from here willgo and meet her sisters from Indiana andMichigan there. We want to leave herethe first week of May, rent or buy a van(sell on the return trip), pick up Annie inCarson, CA, stop by my brother's housein Redlands, CA, then drive to Greeley,CO.

2004 2nd Quarter HCM NEWSLETTER

Greetings from Oahu! Isn't itwonderful to realize that wherever

we are and whenever we pray, Godis by our side and listening to us,and He is with those for whom we

are praying.

I had planned to leave with theKing family here on May i, to visitfamily and friends and attendLeilani's graduation in Greeley, Colorado. Tickets were purchased and atentative itinerary arranged. OnApril 19, I received e-mails tellingme that my brother, Julien Storms,had died suddenly. He was 91, hadbeen to church that morning, felt illafter lunch and was taken to the hos

pital where he died.

Amy got on the internet, rearranged my flights, and I left thatnight for Indianapolis, and wentdirectly to the funeral home inKokomo, Indiana. His two daughters were there, and my sister's children. Julien was commended for his

service in the church, community,and Civil Air Patrol. Sister Bertha

was unable to attend because she

was in the hospital to get a pacemaker. I went back with her chil

dren and was able to help her forabout three weeks. She is doing well.We had a wonderful visit.

I did fly up to Denver to attendthe graduation and met the familythere. I later went back to Kokomo

for almost a week, and then to SanJose to visit my three children and

their families there. Flew home on

June 2. It's so good to be back.

While I was gone, Zola and herhelpers used video Bible stories forthe Kid's Club - mostly her youngerclass, because there was often no oneto bring my older ones. During thesummer it is hard to keep the children coming - vacations, park programs, etc. We are trying to keep itgoing to provide a springboard forVacation Bible School July 19-23.

We usually have VBS right afterschool is out, but our preacher andAllene Miller - teacher, pianist, treasurer, are now on the mainland andwill not be home until July 19 or 20.I'm substituting for Allene, and amthe VBS director. I am now enlistingteachers, helpers, ordering suppliesand craft projects, etc. A busy but funtime. While Steve is gone for fiveSundays, we are using the VBS lessons in our adult Sunday School

Shortly before I left, I receivedword that a dear friend and militarychaplain who formerly served here,was to be here for a few days. I wasable to contact some of the keywomen in our churches and arrangedfor her to speak for our ladies. Shehad spoken at several of our conferences, so both she and her friendswere happy to get together. I'm sorryI missed it.

Kawika will be leaving for Australia July 16 for the Down-Undergames, and is still trying to raisefunds. Teresa had hoped to start theclass for the teenage girls, but she hassevere health and financial problems.Odette is an elderly member withsevere health problems, but won't goto the doctor.

to go to the hospital to get the careGreetings from Oahu: "Praise

the Lord... all you peoples: Forgreat is his love toward us, and thefaithfulness of the Lord enduresforever. Praise the Lord!" Psalm117.

That idea is so encouraging tous through this turbulent time fromdeath to life and new birth.

Our preacher, Steven Sturm,was gone for six weeks to attend theAdvanced Pastoral Studies Summer

Session at the San Francisco Theo

logical Seminary. He met all therequirements to advance to Doctorof Ministry Candidate status.Before he left, he resigned his secular position as surrogate father forat-risk children in order to devote

more time to the church. He does

do some private counseling, but haslost half of his income and the

church barely pays him anything -just utilities and gas, etc.

When he returned, our VacationBible School started. We were

pleased with the results althoughthe attendance was down from last

year. Our newest members, daughters and mother, did a fantastic jobwith the pre-school and Kindergarten classes. We had a staff of 11and all but 3 were from our congregation. We are considering havingVacation Bible School next year

during Spring Break. It is almostimpossible to find time in thesummer to have it when there are

not too many competing communityactivities. One of the teachers feared

she would not be able to help - herhusband was returning fromAfghanistan for 2 weeks of R&R. Hewas baptized that Sunday. That wasthe NEW BIRTH.

Our preacher's daughter, Sunshine Williams had her baby - agirl, on August 6. She weighed 7# 2oz. Her name is Sheilah Jean.

Praise the Lord for NEW LIFE!

But we are saddened by thesudden DEATH of Larry Ragasa,our only deacon. He has beendepressed since his wife's death several months ago. He was Steve'shelper in many ways - teacher,friend, sounding board. His memorial service will be August 28. Hewill be missed! Praise the Lord for

His strength and comfort even indeath.

she needed to clear up the bad infections in both legs, and to get hereating again. He has worked withher daughter to dispose of her dogs,her rental house and goods, now hercar.

Teresa has suffered with much

pain for years. They finally decidedto operate on the vertebra in herneck. I'm sure it was reassuring toher to have Steve waiting for her.Her sister came from California to

help her. They both were at churchSunday - Teresa in her neck brace.

My grandchildren here are backin school and the boys are intraining for cross-country racing.Kawika had a wonderful time in

Australia and ran well in the competitions.

It is so gratifying to hear fromfriends on the mainland - manywho have lived here - who enjoyreceiving my monthly "Encourager."I'm glad I can serve in this way.

2004 4th Quarter HCM NEWSLETTERGreetings from Oahu: "Enter into

His gates with thanksgiving, and intoHis courts with praise; be thankfulunto Him and bless His 72ame."Psalm

100:6. I write this just before Tlianks-giving Day, so gratitude is much onmy mind. In spite of the turmoil in theworld, we can find rest and peacethrough our faith in the Lord.

Faith has been the focus of our

lessons in our Kid's Bible Club for the

past ten weeks. We studied examplesof faith mentioned in Hebrews ii.

Now, as the conclusion, we are usingthe closing program for that VBScourse at the morning service onNovember 28. All the children and

staffwill dramatize an "Extr'eme Faith

Adventure" in a hike up FaithMountain as a way to experience inreal life the lessons learned.

This will also be presented as amahalo (thank you) to our preacher,Steven Sturm, on this Pastor Appreciation Day. We hope he doesn't knowit yet, but he did agree to let us havethe worship hour. David King, myson-in-law, has led a group of ourmembers to take care of all the details

in the service. He will lead the singingwith his guitar. After the play, allthose who want to will join in singing"Thank Youfor Giving to the Lord"and present notes and gifts to Steve.

Your support allowed HCM tohelp with the cost of repairing a waterleak in the church building andtenting of the church parsonage to ridit of termites. Termites are a recur

ring problem, and constant vigilance isneeded in any wooden structure.

People ask about my children, so asmy annual custom, I'll try to updateyou. My youngest, LORA, is married,and she and her husband, GREG, workin the computer field. They have a bighouse and yard and frequently entertain the whole family for holidayevents. MARK continues -with Lock-heed-Martin and his wife is the house
