LA Kuata To’utupu

Kaveinga: Ke fakangata ‘a e fiekaia fakalaumalie moe fakasino; Ke TO’ULU!

Saame 92:12-14
‘E to‘ulu hangē ha paame ‘a e mā‘oni‘oni:
Te ne tupu hangē ha sita ‘i Lepanoni.
Ko e kau tō ‘i he fale ‘o Sihova,
Te nau to‘ulu ‘i he ngaahi loto‘ā ‘o hotau ‘Otua.
Te nau fua ai pē ‘i he‘enau motu‘a;
Te nau mohu huhu‘a mo laumata

The basis of To'utupu is to remind everyone that serving God comes in three phases as a Tongan Methodist:

1st, You are in the Potungaue Talavou (Youth) and you must learn the Basics of Tongan Faiva to not only Represent your Church, but your God.. You will use this time during Ako-Faiva (Dance Practice) to learn what it is to be Tongan and Dance the Dance of Our Ancestors, while taking Fellowship with your sisters & brothers in Christ.

2nd, You are an Adult and either or both in two categories: you are the older generation of the Youth that is teaching the younger generation what To'utupu is all about AND/OR you have started your own family and is now ushering your young ones to be apart of To'utupu.

3rd, You are part of the Congregation where you help with Teungas (Costumes), you sing the songs for the Faiva & you hype up your Potungaue Talalvou with Pride.

We are grateful to be apart of a Faith that Allows us to Worship in Our Native Tongue and Teach our TOUTUPU the Heritage of Our Ancestors, Glory be to God!
