Sacraments and Discipleship: Understanding Baptism and the Lord's Supper in a United Methodist Context
Jul
23
to Sep 3

Sacraments and Discipleship: Understanding Baptism and the Lord's Supper in a United Methodist Context

  • Royal Kahana Surf Room (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Beginning Wednesday, July 23rd at 10:00 AM, Pastor John will lead a six-week study that delves into the meaning of the sacraments of Baptism and Holy Communion in the United Methodist Church, as well as their role in Christian discipleship. We will meet in person in the Surf Room at the Royal Kahana Condominium Complex at 4635 Lower Honoapiilani Rd., Lahaina, HI 96761

However, this will also be a hybrid class, so if you would like to join us remotely, you can connect online via Zoom by clicking on the following link: https://zoom.us/j/8855454622.

The book we will be studying is titled “Sacraments and Discipleship: Understanding Baptism and the Lord's Supper in a United Methodist Context” by Dr. Mark Stam.

Please click the button below to register for the class and select whether you would like us to purchase a book on your behalf. The book will cost $15, and payment can be made on the day of the class. You can also purchase the book on Amazon if you prefer to buy it in advance.

Below is a description of the book’s content.

The primary task of the Christian life is to respond to God’s gracious initiative by loving God and our neighbor, that is, the people God puts in our path. The sacraments help us do that. They hold up a vision of new life, and they make that life possible. This book explores how such sacramental grace comes to us and how we can open ourselves to it more fully. It emphasizes God’s grace, yet insists that there is a human side to the covenant, the work of receiving grace. Dr. Stamm helps us rediscover that to discuss the sacraments is to discuss the entirety of human life and Christian discipleship.

About the author:

Dr. Mark W. Stamm is Professor of Christian Worship at Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University

Dr. Stamm is a 1995 graduate of Boston University (Th.D.), where he served as a research associate and consultant on the Boston University Worship, Music, and Religious Identity Project.

An ordained elder in The United Methodist Church, he came to the Perkins faculty in July 2000 after serving seventeen years as a pastor of local congregations in Pennsylvania and Kentucky.

At Perkins, he teaches courses in liturgical and sacramental history, theology, and practice. As Chapel Elder, he oversees the school’s chapel program. He also served eight years as Abbot of the Order of Saint Luke.

He has written several books related to the theology and practice of the sacraments, including Let Every Jesus Be Jesus’ Guest, A Theology of the Open Table (Abingdon Press, 2006), and Devoting Ourselves to the Prayers, A Baptismal Theology of the Church’s Intercessory Work (Discipleship Resources, 2014).

He is married to Margie Stamm, a nurse in the Dallas Independent School District, and they are the parents of two adult children.

Saturday Morning Study, Sermon on the Mount, Continues November 30, 2024 at 9 AM HST

Aloha, Everyone. We have decided to move our six-week Bible Studies to Saturdays, beginning October 19, 2024, from 9:00 - 10:00 AM HST. The new study is called Sermon on the Mount: A Beginner's Guide to the Kingdom of Heaven by Amy-Jill Levine.

If you want to join the class, Please register by October 1, 2024.  Click on the button below to register:  

You will not need the book for our class, but if you would like to delve deeper into the subject, we can purchase one for you and give it to you at our Sunday service on October 13. Click on the Register button and make sure you choose the radio button next to the prompt, Please order a book for me. The cost of the book is $14. You can also order the book from one of the following sites.

https://www.cokesbury.com/Sermon-on-the-Mount-4?refq=Sermon%20the%20mount


The Sermon on the Mount, Matthew 5-7, contains some of Jesus's most profound and memorable teachings. What might these teachings have meant to his disciples and to the others who first heard them? How do they enhance our reading of the rest of the Gospel of Matthew, and how do they speak across the centuries to listeners today? How, if we pay careful attention to his words, does Jesus provide us with a road map to living as God would have us live?

In Sermon on the Mount: A Beginner's Guide to the Kingdom of Heaven, Dr. Amy-Jill Levine introduces the major topics in the Sermon on the Mount, explains historical and theological contexts, and shows how Jesus's words echo his Jewish tradition and speak forward to reach hearts and minds today.

We will not only consider how we would like to rebuild our church, church hall, preschool, and dwellings lost in the fire, but we will also discuss how we can better use the abundant land that has long been our legacy. For example, perhaps we can provide affordable housing and meeting places for our community, making our church a more active place of hope for our community.

We will be meeting at Lahuiokalani Kaanapali Congregational Church, 3654 Lower Honoapiilani Rd., Lahaina, HI 96761. Please join us in this hopeful discussion.

Lahaina Disaster Resource Center Closing, Saturday, April 27

  • Lahaina United Methodist Church (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

The Lahaina Disaster Recovery Center will close permanently on Saturday, April 27, but that doesn’t mean FEMA won’t continue to help the people who were displaced by the August wildfires on Maui or that FEMA is leaving the state.

Helping Maui recover will take time, and FEMA will be here for the long haul.

Even after the recovery center at Lahaina Civic Center Gymnasium closes at 3 p.m. on April 27, help from FEMA is just a phone call away. Survivors can get answers from trained specialists at the FEMA Helpline at 800-621-3362. Operators speak many languages and are available to answer your questions from 2 a.m. to 9 p.m. HST, seven days a week.

Survivors who are waiting to be placed in units offered under FEMA’s Direct Lease program can call 808-784-1600. Leave your nine-digit FEMA registration number and a phone number where you can be reached, and a case worker will return your call within 24 hours.

Those who need continuing rental assistance can reach out to FEMA Helpline specialists. It is also important to stay in touch with FEMA if you change your address or phone number, even if only temporarily. Missing or wrong information could delay your assistance.

You can also update FEMA about changes to your personal information by visiting DisasterAssistance.gov. You may click on the green ‘Check Status’ button to create an online account. Use the same email you provided when you applied for assistance. If you applied online or used the FEMA app, you already have a disaster assistance account.
