Aloha ʻoe Kahu Douglas Wooten, Mama Kahu Yulanda, and ʻOhana!
Rev. Dr. Douglas Wooten's last worship service at Kaumakapil Church as our Kahu Mua was on March 27, 2022. He will be serving Immanuel United Church of Christ in Indianapolis, Indiana. Kaumakapili has blessed a Pastoral Search Committee to do the work of finding our next Kahu Mua. We will miss the Wooten ʻohana very much and mahalo Kahu Wooten and Mama Kahu for their aloha and service to our church. Here are some pictures of his farewell celebration.

activity under heaven:”
Ecclesiastes 3:1
On July 28, 2014, during our 10:30 a.m. worship service, our church recognized Aunty Nani for her 25 years of faithful service as our Choir Director/Organist “Kaumakapili Style.”
We selected Ecclesiastes 3:1 “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven” for the story format as we say mahalo to Aunty for her “time and season” with us. Pictures are posted below on our church’s website.
Also, various groups of the church presented Aunty Nani with lei’s of mahalo during the Special Presentation time. We shared our mahalo with Aunty before church and after church in Hale Kamika where all were welcomed to a “light” health lunch.
Again, please join us as we continue to say “mahalo” to a special person that we love and that has given so much, not only to our church, but to so many out there.
