Team Captain Justine Ing leads Blaine Memorial UMC as they embark on the 2026 Walk for Rice!
Walk for Rice: Team Blaine raises over $20K!
By Justine Ing
Thank You, Blaine Community!
A huge thank you to our Team Blaine walkers and the entire Blaine community for your amazing support of this year’s ACRS Walk for Rice!
Team Blaine had a strong turnout May 16 at Seward Park, with about 35 walkers. We were the largest team walking early on a Saturday morning to support the ACRS Food Bank.
This year, Blaine Memorial’s long-standing relationship with ACRS was highlighted at the Walk for Rice. Blaine was featured on the Walk for Rice T-shirts, and Mark Mitsui represented Blaine and the Mitsui family by delivering remarks during the opening ceremony about his father’s involvement in founding the Walk for Rice.
At the closing ceremony, ACRS recognized Team Blaine for placing second among all fundraising teams. At that time, we had raised $18,875! But the even better news is that Team Blaine continued to raise money after the Walk, and we are currently in first place!
As of this writing, we have raised an amazing $20,325 — a new all-time high for Team Blaine! Wow! Way to go, everyone!
Your generous donations will help the ACRS Food Bank provide culturally familiar food to low-income seniors and families for many months. Thank you for supporting this important community resource!
Justine Ing served as Captain for Team Blaine for 2026 Walk for Rice.
What am I carrying? What hurt, resentment, fear, or memory might God be inviting me to release, and what would it look like to place it in God’s hands?
Where have I received grace? How has God’s forgiveness and grace changed me, and where might God be calling me to extend that same grace to someone else?
What am I passing on? What am I teaching the next generation — through my words and especially through my example — about forgiveness, faith, compassion, and hope?

Special Ministries Fair

This past February, the Ad Board created an action plan to discover ways to improve our focus on “Belonging” in our church family and community. Our first opportunity to increase awareness is a Special Ministries Fair set for Sunday, Sept. 13, after worship.
Many groups within our church community will be represented, showcasing their committees, offering information about their goals and missions, and answering questions. The youth will offer a box lunch for a love offering, and we hope to have a large number of groups represented. We’ll gather in the LAC and be among the first to use the newly spruced-up chairs!
We hope to see you there! Please contact Lesley Okura, Sylvia Wong or Arlene Naganawa with questions.
Join us this Wednesday as we catch-up, fellowship, and study scripture together.

Young Adult Gathering Lunch
Sunday, Sept. 20
11:45 a.m.
Rev. Karen would love to kick off our new monthly Young Adult gatherings with a casual lunch together!
If you’re a young adult — college-age through your 20s and 30s (roughly ages 20–35) — we’d love for you to join us. We’ll gather after worship and head out together around 11:45 a.m. for lunch. We’ll choose the restaurant that day, so come ready for good food, good conversation and a chance to get to know one another!
Whether you’ve been part of Blaine Memorial for years or are newer to our church family, come join us! Let’s build community, share some laughs and see where these monthly gatherings take us.
Questions? See Rev. Karen. We hope to see you there!
Calling all bakers! Support our upcoming Benefit Bazaar through our Pie-Making Party session on 9/26!

Bazaar pie-making will be one week earlier than usual this year! Bring your rolling pins, lace up your comfy shoes and get ready to “roll” on Saturday, Sept. 26, beginning at 10 a.m. in the LAC kitchen.
Many hands are needed to make our pie-making day a success, especially since our pies are always in high demand!

If you have safety concerns and want to help bring awareness to our church community, then join us for our safety and security meeting on Sunday, Sept. 20.
Safety and Security Meeting
Sunday, Sept. 20, 2026
Immediately After Worship
In the Sanctuary
Please join us immediately following worship on Sunday, Sept. 20, for a brief, 15-minute, in-person presentation on safety and security at Blaine Memorial UMC. This will be the first of several short presentations we’ll share in the coming months as we continue working together to make our church a safe, welcoming and caring place for everyone.
Our desire is that when you feel safe, valued and cared for, you will feel God’s love even more deeply.
If you have any questions or concerns, or if you would like to be part of these efforts, please see Arlene Naganawa, Dale Kaneko or Steve Sakahara. Thank you for being part of our church family and for helping us care for one another!
Please be mindful of your belongings; we are unfortunately experiencing security issues on campus. We care about your safety and security of your property.
Important Safety Reminder
When coming to church, please do not leave valuables visible in your vehicle. Make sure all items are hidden from sight, and if you have anything of value — especially electronics — please bring it into the church with you rather than leaving it in your car.
There have been multiple vehicle break-ins and thefts recently during the day, after church services and throughout the week. Taking a few extra precautions can help protect your belongings.
Thank you for helping keep our church community safe and aware.

Join us today for Vacation Bible School 2026!
VBS 2026: Discover Your Strength in God!
Church School has wrapped up for the 2025-26 year, and now it’s time for VBS 2026! This year’s theme, Hero Central: Discover Your Strength in God!, is based on Psalm 34:14b: “Do good; seek peace and pursue it.”
Children will learn about biblical heroes who used their God-given strengths to serve and glorify God. Join us every Sunday from now through Aug. 23 for a fun-filled, faith-building experience. All children entering kindergarten through sixth grade for the 2026-27 school year are welcome.
Don’t miss this exciting opportunity for children and adults alike to grow in faith and fellowship!
Help support the stewardship of our Church facilities during this time of transition!
Church Facility Reminder!
As we continue caring for our church home, we kindly ask everyone to be mindful of cleaning up after using the Social Hall, LAC and all other areas of the church. Please take out the garbage promptly after your event or meeting.
We are currently experiencing an ongoing ant problem. Ants become especially active during hot weather and after rainfall. To help reduce the problem, please rinse out cans and bottles containing sugary drinks, soda or other sweet beverages before placing them in recycling or garbage bins.
We know many people use the LAC for basketball, pickleball, volleyball and other sports activities. After your activities, please take a few moments to clean up any food, crumbs, spills or greasy stains from the stage and gym floor.
If you are changing a diaper, please place the soiled diaper in a sealed bag, dispose of it in the garbage and take the trash to the outside garbage bin when your session is complete. Please do not leave dirty diapers in classrooms, on the stage or anywhere else in the building.
Cleaning up after each group’s use of the facility is the responsibility of those using the space. Our onsite staff is here to maintain the building, but caring for our shared church home is a responsibility we all share.
Our church is an older building, and while professional pest control helps, the most effective way to reduce pests is by removing the food and trash that attract them.
Thank you for helping keep our church clean, welcoming and well cared for.
Please be mindful of your belongings; we are unfortunately experiencing security issues on campus. We care about your safety and security of your property.
Important Safety Reminder
When coming to church, please do not leave valuables visible in your vehicle. Make sure all items are hidden from sight, and if you have anything of value — especially electronics — please bring it into the church with you rather than leaving it in your car.
There have been multiple vehicle break-ins and thefts recently during the day, after church services and throughout the week. Taking a few extra precautions can help protect your belongings.
Thank you for helping keep our church community safe and aware.
Our Story Continues
The Rev. Karen Yokota Love calls for us to be in prayer as we witness recent events involving gun violence.
