Your new Sunday ritual: Sunday Community Service & Potluck (In His Presence Church) – June 28 and every week

📅June 28, 2026⏱️3 min read✍️Big Island Bulletin

Sunset service, shared plates, and real aloha. A weekly, come-as-you-are gathering where the whole ʻohana feels welcome—every Sunday at 5 pm, potluck at 7 pm.

The Hook

Ever notice how the island slows down on Sunday evenings? Trade winds soften, plumeria hangs sweet in the air, and you can almost hear your spirit exhale. That’s exactly the vibe at the weekly Sunday Community Service & Potluck (In His Presence Church)—a warm, come-as-you-are gathering that happens every Sunday.

If you’ve been craving connection, this is your gentle reset. Think heartfelt service at 5 pm, then a community-style potluck at 7 pm where aunties swap recipes and keiki chase bubbles on the lawn.

What to Expect

Picture soft evening light through open doors, friendly faces, and a calm, grounding service that feels like taking off a heavy backpack. You’ll hear words of hope, simple songs, and quiet moments that let you breathe.

After, long tables fill with shared dishes—comfort food, local favorites, and something sweet someone “just whipped up.” You don’t have to bring a dish (totally optional), but you might find yourself inspired to share next time.
