OUTREACH IS WHO WE ARE •
SERVE Day was a huge success!
We’re in awe of how you showed up to shine the love of Jesus in such practical ways on Serve Day! More than 330 people joined in on 20 simultaneous projects all over Oahu to serve our community and show God’s love to the world. We closed out the day with an epic after-party on the beach, complete with four people publicly declaring their faith in Jesus through baptism. We couldn’t be more grateful or amazed, getting to see God move on our island in such awesome ways. THANK YOU for making such an incredible impact for God’s Kingdom!
Somebody say We get to do this!!
Take a look at this recap video:
Would you give Manna a review online?

Would you give Manna a review online? •
Did you know that one of the things that helps find a church is the simple Google search: “Churches Near Me.” When Manna comes up in that search, one of the first things people see is the reviews that have been left about our church. The more reviews we have from people who are finding life and experiencing God’s love at Manna, the more people we can reach with that same life and love. This is where you come in! If you call Manna Church home or if you’ve been impacted by what God is doing here, would you please take a moment to go to the link below and let the world know? Thank you so much!

Small Group Spotlight
The Men With Iron Clubs
Leader: Phil Sims
This group has served as a way for men to do what they love as they build godly friendships, with some fun competition (of course). No matter the skill level, it has been a place for men to grow together in their faith and become the men God has created them to be for their families and in their communities.
Men, are you looking for a place to get connected?! This group is for men who enjoy whacking a little ball across the yard. All levels of play are not only welcomed but encouraged. Great fellowship and relationships will be had.

It's Back to School Time

It's Back to School Time •
August means back to school for our keiki, and it’s also move-up time in our MannaKids and MannaYouth environments for those heading into Kindergarten and 6th grade.
Parents, if your little one is starting kindergarten, please let our MannaKids Check-In Team know! That way, we can make sure they get promoted from our Preschool environment to MannaKids Elementary. If you have a student beginning 6th grade, it's time to get them connected to MannaYouth! You can find more info about MannaYouth on the website, app, or at the Connection Center on the lanai on Sunday mornings.
