'REFLECTIVE WALK' MARKS MARTIN LUTHER KING DAY

An opportunity for silence, as well as conversation, will be offered at a "reflective walk" in Mokulē'ia, Jan. 18 in observance of Martin Luther King Day.

The walk, along Keālia Trail, will leave from St. Clement Episcopal Church's parking lot in Makiki at 8:30 a.m., and return around 3 p.m. on the federal holiday.

Excerpts from the King's "Letter From a Birmingham Jail," and other writings will be read during the walk.

The Keālia Trail is a 2.5-mile hike of intermediate difficulty, with exposed ridgeline, and gradual increases over rock switchbacks, to a 1,000-foot cliff.

MAKAKILO BAPTIST CHURCH OPENS NEW SANCTUARY

After months of holding services under a parking lot tent, members of Makakilo Baptist Church have dedicated a new, more than $2 million sanctuary on Makakilo Drive.

The church began in 1963 as a mission of First Baptist Church of Waipahu — on its first day, 36 people attended Sunday School. Today the congregation has more than 240 members.

The church's original facility was constructed in 1975, and included classrooms and a lānai. As the community grew, a preschool was added, and membership outgrew the original facility.

Construction costs for the new facility rose from $1.2 million to $2 million. Much of the logistics planning and work was donated — even done — by church members. Additionally, the project is environmentally friendly with use of a demolition firm which reuses /resells demolished materials from the original church.

According to Hawaii Pacific Baptist, another change is coming to the congregation: the Rev. Ray Viliamu, who has served for 18 years, recently announced his retirement.
