Thank you, Summer at St. Andrew helpers
What a fun event! Hundreds of people representing all age groups were on site tossing bean bags, running around the playgrounds, listening to the live music, eating, drinking, and conversing. It would not have happened without the work of many volunteers. Thank you, all who prepped, cooked, and served food and beverages. Thank you, all who set up and took down tables, chairs, and staging. Thank you, Koiné and the St. Andrew musicians who provided music. Thank you, all who lent tents and yard games. Thank you, all who continue to support the ministry of St. Andrew by your offerings. And thank you, all who attended and contributed to the wonderful family atmosphere of this event.

Mahalo, St. Andrew!
Words cannot express the deep appreciation and thanks from the family of Hiya Trager to the family of St. Andrew. We lost a wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, great-grandmother, and a sincere friend. However, we have the knowledge that Hiya is rejoicing with the saints triumphant, sitting at the feet of her Savior and our Savior. The hope of heaven that Hiya had, and is now living, is the hope that we have as we continue to join Jesus on his mission here on earth while we long to breathe the air of heaven.

Hiya’s family truly felt the ohana of St. Andrew for the last few years and most definitely last week. And for that, we are forever grateful. To God be the glory!
