When I moved to Hawaii at the end of March, I began to attend Good Shepherd Church with my cousins Karl & Ashley.
This past Sunday, I had the honor of joining the Good Shepherd ohana.
In Hawiian, ohana means family. There's a Disney movie called Lilo and Stitch with the line, "Ohana means family, and family means no one gets left behind." I have found that to be true at Good Shepherd. They are all so welcoming and open. It has blessed me more than I can say to grow closer to Christ in this community.
The part of joining the church that made me feel the most welcome immediately followed the new member welcome. The members of the church came to the front and welcomed us to the family with leis. It blessed my heart more than I can say.
