READ ALOHA TO ME is a new outreach program here at the Cathedral.

RUMMAGE SALE 2008 The annual St. Andrew’s Cathedral Rummage Sale has become a significant and eagerly anticipated summer event, enabling many shoppers in the downtown area, and beyond, to complete their Christmas shopping before the end of July. This year the sale will be held on Friday, July 25, (4:30 to 8 pm) and Saturday, July 26, (9am to 2 pm) in Davies Hall and on the lawn adjacent to the hall. One hundred or more volunteers from St. Andrew’s and other parishes will work together to set up the sale and to serve as clerks and cashiers. Featured sale items will include clothing, toys, books, Hawaiiana, electronics, housewares, Christmas decorations and jewelry. Bargains will be plentiful. Free parking and refreshments will be available.
Each year a different non-profit organization is chosen to be the recipient of the rummage sale profits. In 2005 it was Ronald McDonald House, in 2006 it was IHS, and in 2007 it was Family Promise. This year’s recipient will be Honolulu Theatre for Youth. HTY has long maintained a special relationship with St. Andrew’s Cathedral where Tenney Theatre is their performance home. Founded in 1955, Honolulu Theatre for Youth is one of the oldest and most respected children’s theatres in the country and has served over five million people through school and family performances and drama education. It is hoped that profits from the rummage sale will make it possible for many more children to attend, enjoy and learn from future HTY productions.
Co-chairs for this year’s sale will again be Susan Hays and Barbara Sexton. Donations and/or volunteers will be very welcome. Please contact Susan at 282-3881.
LAMBETH CONFERENCE Please pray for the Rt. Rev. Robert and Mrs. Bea Fitzpatrick as they prepare to attend the Lambeth Conference at the University of Kent in Canterbury, England from 16 July to 4 August. The Bishop is asking each parish to support the bursary program which enables bishops and spouses to attend the Lambeth Conference, as well as those who will help ensure that the conference runs smoothly. Each diocese has been asked to contribute $7,000 to the fund. Contributions may be sent to the Diocesan or Cathedral Office or placed in the Sunday collection. Checks may be made payable to the Episcopal Diocese of Hawaii, marked Lambeth Conference.
