11am Sunday mass at the University of Hawaii at Manoa …read more.. I usually attend church with my mom, sister, and nieces in Nu'uanu. Somehow, I didn't hear my alarm this morning and missed mass with the family. Luckily, I remembered that the Newman Center had an 11am service. I've always been curious about this place, so, it was the perfect opportunity to check it out! PARKING: usually, there is a guard at the entrances to the UH Manoa campus and an entrance fee is involved. It seems like parking is free on Sundays because the guard shack was empty! Yay! I drove along East West Road, passed the Korean Studies building, and turned right into the parking lot in front of the Newman Center. There was a young man at the door, holding a clipboard and writing down names. Later on, I found out that the typed out list was names of people who signed up online to attend mass. Yikes! I didn't know! I searched Instagram and Googled the Newman Center, but didn't see a sign up... Oops! Sorry! Well, I got in without incident. Haha! I saw blue painter's tape on the ground - in the shape of "X" - and guessed that it was for social distancing. I took a seat in the back and participated in an efficient mass. There were no "kneelers", so we stayed standing at the kneeling times. Some hymns were recited instead of sung - like The Lord's Prayer and Lamb of God. It made the entire mass end before an hour was up! It helped that Father Guerrero is a local boy and he knows that we have a lot of things to do on a Sunday! Note: Father and a Eucharistic Minister distributed Holy Communion by going from person to person I liked the open air feeling. The trade winds gently flowed through the Newman Center which enhanced the wood/natural accents and stained glass windows. There were ceiling fans which helped circulate the fresh air, too! The music was exceptional. I knew some of the songs and I wish I had the words with me (I should have looked them up on my phone). The singer turned out to be my sister's high school classmate - Camille! What a voice! The guitar player, Michael, was my high school classmate - and his wife, Tessie, was the excellent pianist! Wow!!! Small world! It must have been meant to be! This is an example of how waking up late can be made into a check mark on a bucket list item!

Not to mention, father serves the community. He baptized our son within a few weeks of preparation, and he is so easy to talk to. He is available to meet, responds to emails, and keeps the Newman Center open for students. I really enjoy going to Mass at the Newman Center now and try to make it to either the Newman Center or St. Pius depending on my son's sleeping and eating schedule. The Newman Center is my favorite.

This church is a rare commodity these days. The pastor really knows his stuff. He is a true…read morestudent of the Bible and teaches in a manner which is both engaging and convicting at the same time. Children are a major priority: They stay in church for worship time, then Pastor Perry has them go on stage for a children's sermon which mirrors what he intends to teach to the adults. They are then off to Sunday School to be taught about God's love for them. One thing that struck me on the first time I attended and since is that the pastor knows each child by name. The church also has a very active AWANA club and has an annual "Vacation Bible School" during the Summer. The youth group is a solid bunch of kids who are truly seeking the Lord's face through the assistance of the youth pastor, Pete Keizer. They meet once a week for in-depth study of the Bible as well as games and worship. They serve the community with food distribution to the needy people of Nanakuli as well as serving at the River of Life homeless shelter downtown. The music ministry is phenomenal, and the Worship Pastor, Josh Nordgren, continually encourages the musicians to improve in their musicianship and to grow in their faith. He plays a mix of modern praise songs with at least one very familiar hymn thrown in to the mix. The people in this church exemplify what is meant by "Christ Follower". They show love toward one another as well as to strangers. They spontaneously pray for one other when the need arises. They have active community outreach programs and sponsor missionaries from the church all over the world. They even created a in-house sponsorship program much like "Compassion International" to support AIDS orphans at an orphanage in Uganda. Their motto is "A family for You", and I have found that that is the perfect motto for this church. Give them a try.
