· It is the feast day of Kamehameha and Emma, King and Queen of Hawaii, (1885). Enjoy the pineapple after each service! They were Episcopal converts who helped found Queen's Hospital, St. Cross School, St. Andrew's Priory, and St. Mark's Mission Kapahulu. The Clergy are wearing stoles of Hawaiian fabric. Our 5/6th grade class meets in the Kamehameha and Emma room in the Annex.

The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad; the desert shall rejoice and blossom. ~ Isaiah 35:1
