This year’s Hand Association meeting took place on the Big Island, at the Hilton Waikoloa. The sessions mainly took place in the mornings, and afternoons were free for roaming around the island. Highlights included hiking to lush waterfalls, watching serene sunsets, and viewing the glow of Kīlauea light up the starry night sky.

Colossians 3:
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
