The guy who cuts my hair is a member of one of the churches targeted for protest, and he also cuts his pastor's hair. I ran into him in Costco and asked him what, if anything, the church planned as a reaction. He said his pastor's reaction was "Isn't it AWESOME that these people picked us to protest? What an opportunity to show Grace!"
They plan to NOT argue, debate, or show any negative reaction to the nuts at all... they will offer them bottled water, invite them to stay for the service, and generally ignore their attempts at confrontation.

To cool
you will notice I have posted to many threads...it's 2a.m. jet lag has struck again and I am wide awake. 
You cannot effectively love and minister to others when you are obsessed with protecting
and preserving yourself.

What exactly are they protesting at this particular church? Gay attendance?

No more than any church, and they are not "gay welcoming" -- it is the biggest, most visible church in Hawaii, a 10,000+ FourSquare mega-church. I (personally) think they just know where the news will show up.

The still active volcano is on the big island where Kalei and I live. From what I understand, these people will be on Oahu where Pastor Gary is.
I'm sure I could find someone over here to toss them into a flow though, should PG decide to find a way to get them over here.
That's MISTER Hello Kitty to you!!!
