Whew! Labor Day was just that—Labor. Our church hosted the annual Maui County Baptist Association Labor Day Picnic. Congratulations to the folks from Lana'i Baptist Church who worked hard to put up tables, pack coolers of ice, cut and haul firewood, man (and "woman") the grills, and serve their brothers and sisters in Christ from Maui County Baptist churches. Not a small order for a church our size. But we all learned again the value of service. Labor done in the spirit of Christ's love is a joy.
About 125 people from churches around our association ferried over from Maui to spend the day on one of Hawaii's loveliest beaches—Hulopo'e Beach on Lana'i. God was kind to give us perfect weather and perfect water. People brought delicious food, beach chairs, ukeleles, and the aloha spirit. It was a great day.
