Jodo Mission of Hawaii

Bulletin - JUNE 2015

JODO MISSION OF HAWAII

Volunteer Office Worker Needed Wednesdays & Fridays

June 3, 2015 to July 10, 2015

9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

Duties include: answering the telephone, receiving reservations for memorial services,

taking messages, collecting payments, answering the Nokotsudo or Colum-

barium buzzer to let someone in to visit the Nokotsudo. It is quite interest-

ing. You get to meet all kinds of people and at the same time, you will learn

a lot about Jodo Mission and Jodo Shu.

In preparation for the O-Bon season, the O-Tobas need

to be written and the minister needs to concentrate on the O-

Toba he is working on so having someone answer the telephone while the

minister is writing an O-Toba or doing a memorial service or getting ready for a funeral would be greatly appreciated. If you are interested, please

contact Rev. Narashiba at 949-3995.

Hints at the Graveyard: Many peo-

ple visit their ancestors at the grave-

yards at O-Bon time. Sometimes they

have many graves to visit. If you go to

the grave and there are 2 flower con-

tainers and you just happen to have

enough flowers for one container,

which should you fill with flowers?

It has been suggested that you place

the flowers in the left flower holder and

leave the right flower holder face

down.
