Daniel James Brown’s riveting book The Boys in the Boat was the New York Times #1 Bestseller in 2016, and it’s now a major motion picture. For those of us who have read the gripping account of the hard-scrabble young men and their quest for the gold at the 1936 Berlin Olympics, we understand why it was a bestseller. Nine individuals discovered what was possible when they truly became a crew, a community, a team that pulled together. It was a thing of beauty.

You are invited to join us for 2024 Winter WAKO (Wednesdays at Koʻolau) classes. For three fun-filled Wednesdays in a row, you’ll have the chance to go deeper in your relationship with God, make some new friends or grow your relationship with some long-standing friends, and enjoy a wonderful meal together. We have lots of options for you to choose from. Take a look at the list of courses and sign up.

February 21, February 28, and March 6 at our Koʻolau campus.

Let’s come together, let’s grow together, let’s pull together in 2024!
