NEWS & ANNOUNCEMENTS

The Church Office will be closed on Monday, May 27, in observance of Memorial Day.

This past Sunday, we celebrated the 100th anniversary of our Sanctuary's dedication! One hundred years of worship beneath the truth that “Love Never Faileth.” Our Sanctuary has provided a beautiful setting for countless worship services, weddings, vow renewals, funerals, baptisms, concerts, but we also remember that it’s the people that gather here and what they (we) go on to do beyond these four walls that make the church!


If you missed Pastor Rushan's message “The Vision of Pentecost”, you can view the online service!

CUC Children's Ministry will offer Compassion Camp again this summer for kids ages 3 through grade 5. Sign up your keiki for a week of fun and growth as "God's Global Kids: Learning to Love the World."


July 22-26, 2024

Monday - Friday, 9 AM - 12 PM, at the CUC Honolulu campus


Suggested donation of $40; limited space available

PRAY FOR OUR CHURCH

  • Pray for all those graduating this year! May they feel celebrated for their accomplishments and supported in their future endeavors.


  • Pray for the preschool keiki as they end the school year, and especially those students who will move on to new schools. May they leave with good memories of their time at Central Union Preschool!


  • As we approach Memorial Day, pray for all the lives lost in combat and for those who lost their loved ones.

Readers Needed for Worship!


Worship is one of the heartbeats of our church – it is the work of the whole church community in praising God, hearing God's word to us and responding in faith. One way to help each other in our worship is by reading scripture and other parts of our service. It enhances our experience of worship when we can have different faces and voices leading worship.

Beware of Email Scams!


Scams come in many forms, whether it's someone impersonating a church leader, or a stranger seeming to have a good deal for you on a special product or service. Please be cautious when checking emails! Know that church staff will never ask you to purchase something or give personal information. Often you can identify an email's authenticity by verifying the sender’s email address (CUC staff emails end with @centralunionchurch.org), but it's also possible for scammers to mimic email addresses. So if you receive any strange message at all and are ever in doubt, just delete it, don't reply or click on any links. You may call the church office (808-941-0957) to confirm.
