Preaching is a central and constant aspect to what we do as clergy. Set aside some time to re-excite and re-invigorate our preaching throughout the diocese with Pastor Jerry Larson’s Speaking the Word Freely, which has been taught across the country. After his time with us, Jerry will be working with our Waiolaihui‘ia students over the weekend.
