Kamehameha Schools has created a set of Hawaiian-focused devotionals for the four weeks of Advent. Share them with family and friends!
Each devotional includes:
- A scripture reading in ʻolelo Hawaiʻi (Hawaiian language) and English
- Some manaʻo (thoughts)
- Questions to ponder
- A pule (prayer)
- A lesson, pule and activity especially for keiki
- A hīmeni (hymn) with corresponding video
For details on the devotionals, including introduction and usage videos, see the initial I Mua Newsroom story.
In the video below, KS Cultural Specialist Hauʻoli Akaka singings the suggested hīmeni for the second week of Advent.
