Kamehameha Schools has created a set of Hawaiian-focused devotionals for the four weeks of Advent and Christmas Eve. This week’s devotional by KSK Kahu Kapālama Kordell Kekoa focuses on “Joy.” Share the devotionals with family and friends!

Each devotional includes:

• A scripture reading in ʻōlelo 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, Kahu Kekoa and his ‘ohana sing the hīmeni for the third week of Advent – “Joy to the World” – in celebration of his sister Kristen’s 52nd birthday!
