HeartBeat—April 2014

A Message from Pastor Angela

Summer’s Almost Here!!!

Dear brothers and sisters,

Perhaps you think it is too early to think about summer…. Well, I can tell you my calendar is open to the summer months about 80% of the time planning and preparing for some awesome opportunities for the congregation’s youth this summer!

Before you begin to think, “I don’t have any youth in my family, so I don’t have to keep reading,” please stick with me here. Even if you do not have a young person in your immediate family who might participate in some or all of these summer opportunities, I assure you, we need everyone to participate in some form or another to make sure this summer is one of the best yet! You might not have a young child or a teenager in your house, but surely you know someone who does! And at the very least, I hope that you will keep each of the opportunities and the young people in your prayers. Pray for safe travel, successful camps, and that each child might have an experience of God this summer!

You’ll notice by the dates that a lot is happening in a short period of time. I’m also going to need your help on the ground welcoming staff, providing snacks, staffing Day Camp, feeding Day Camp Staff, and other odds and ends! Please let me know if you’re interested in helping some of this happen this summer! Let’s make sure it is the best one yet!

So, what’s going on this summer you ask? Oh, so much! I’m very excited.

Yours on the journey and ready for the adventures!
Pastor Angela

Mutual Ministry Team

Pastor Angela’s Mutual Ministry Team has been formed. The members along with Pastor Angela are Mary Fastenau, Bobby Broyles, Amanda Lippert, and Jim Sullivan.

What is a Mutual Ministry Team, you ask? The MM team is a group of lay people who will normally meet monthly with the pastor. We talk about our shared ministry, check in if there are any concerns, celebrate the successes, and basically keep the communication between pastor(s) and congregation going. Also, in the past the Mutual Ministry teams I’ve had would offer support through regularly praying for me as pastor as well as keeping me accountable for self care.

Feel free to contact any of these folks to share highs and lows of our ministry or to ask a question you’d like them to bring forward. Thank you to the team for saying yes to the call to this service.

It’s Time for Easter Lilies

Every year the community of LCH donates money for Easter lilies to decorate the altar. These flowers always make a wonderful display as we turn from the solemnness of Lent to the joy of Easter. The flowers can be given in the name of a loved one, and there is a form in your bulletin to fill out with the needed information. Thank you for your support.

Adult Forum

Every Sunday, 9:20 am in the Boardroom

All members and friends are invited to attend! April 6 will feature a very special Passion Week film-fest showing how at their best Broadway, Hollywood and the arts have portrayed Jesus during Passion Week. We will also invite the high school and junior high students to attend this unique showing.

Following Easter, Wayne Gau will continue his presentation of Augustine’s “City of God” for three Sundays.

Animate Faith

Sundays following the second worship, come share in Bible Study and discussion with brothers and sisters from St. Clement’s Parish. This study is being co-taught by the Revs. Angela Freeman and Matthew Lukens. This is a multiple week study that uses a short video to guide the discussion and exploration of the Bible. Topics include Canon: Mining for the Word; History: Parchment to Pixel, Gospels: Unexpected Good News, and others. March 30we’ll meet at St. Clement’s, and April 6 we’ll meet at LCH in the Rainbow Room.

Lenten Dinner Church

Wednesdays at 6:30 pm Isenberg Hall

Come share in an intimate Eucharistic meal with your brothers and sisters during this holy and solemn season of Lent. Worship with music from Holden Evening Prayer, scripture and reflection and prayer, and the meal happen as one experience modeled after the earliest tradition of Jesus communing with his disciples.

If you’d like to help with food prep, set up or have any questions, please contact Pastor Angela via email or by calling the church office.

Holoholo Pick-Up

Thursday, April 3 & 17, 2:00–4:00 pm

The Holoholo General Store is a Community Supported Agriculture organization, or css, that works with the Lutheran Church to bring you fresh produce from multiple, local farms. For more information visit www.holoholostore.com.

Process Thought Forum

Saturday, April 5, 9:30–11:00 am at LCH in the Boardroom

Our next focus will be “Whitehead and Evolutionary Theory,” based on a page from the Jesus, Jazz and Buddhism website. Evolutionary theory, although widely accepted, still has raised many questions. We may not have all the answers, but we are not afraid of the questions raised by such thought. Join us on April 5. You might want to read the article, which can be found at www.jesusjazzbuddhism.org/whitehead-and-evolutionary-theory.html. For more information, ask Fritz.

LCH Night at Hawai‘i Public Radio

April 5, 6:00–8:00 pm during Prairie Home Companion

Again this year, LCH members will be helping with the HPR Spring Fund Drive by answering phones during the Saturday evening broadcast of “A Prairie Home Companion.” There will be tuna hot dish and green Jell-o to give the evening a real Minnesota feeling, and we will have our very first ever “Compliment a Lutheran Challenge.”

For the “Compliment a Lutheran Challenge,” someone calls to make a pledge, and they compliment a Lutheran. LCH matches a portion of their pledge from the money we gather ahead of time. Then we contact the complimented Lutheran and ask them to match the pledge as well. It’s designed to get us to the end of the fund drive and keeps HPR on the air.

It’s going to be a fun evening and a great way to tell HPR listeners about all the ways the people of LCH and Lutherans around the state are worthy of praise. And there are several ways you can be a part of it all:

• Volunteer to help answer phones by contacting Bill Potter at webmaster@LHCwelcome.org.
• Donate to the matching funds for the “Compliment a Lutheran Challenge.” We need funds to match the pledges people make when the compliment a Lutheran. This could be an extra gift you were already planning to make, or it could even be your membership renewal if that’s up this spring. Contact Bill Potter with questions or to make a pledge.
• Tell your friends to listen in and make their pledges during this broadcast.
• Decide which Lutheran you want to compliment and call in with your own pledge.

Youth Group Meeting

Sunday, April 6, 5:00 pm at Calvary Episcopal Church, 45-435 Aumoku St., Kāne‘ohe

All middle school and high school students are invited! If LCH teens would like a ride, please contact Pastor Angela ASAP!

Evening Prayer

Sunday, April 6 & 20, 7:30 pm

Join us on the first and third Sundays for Evening Prayer. This is a peaceful experience of rejuvenation and prayer.

Writers’ Workshop

Monday, April 7, 7:00–8:30 pm

Writers’ Workshop will have its next get-together at LCH on April 7. A final spring meeting is planned for May 5. For information, please contact Kathryn Klingebiel through the Church Office (941-2566).

Congregational Work Day

Saturday April 12, 9:00 AM–1:00 pm

Come get your church building ready for Easter! The church grounds and building have several projects large and small that need your loving hands before Easter. You will have the chance to dig in the dirt, help put up a new sign, polish a pew, or even touch up an altar rail. Everyone is welcome! We will meet at the church at 9:00 AM and be finished by 1:00 PM. Lunch will be provided for all participants. Kids are welcome!

Children at the Seder Meal

Sunday, April 13 9:20 am

On Palm Sunday, between services, the children of the Sunday school will again host a Seder meal in Isenberg Hall. This is a traditional
part of our Easter preparation in The Lutheran Church of Honolulu. The Seder meal is the meal of Passover Jesus was celebrating with his followers when he first gave us the Eucharist.
It is the Old Testament remembrance of God’s special relationship with His people and His freeing of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. Come learn more on the 13th.

Confirmation Classes

Confirmation is for teens in middle school or early high school. It engages them in discussion and learning about their personal faith, the Bible, the Church, and other areas of faith formation. Classes in April will be on April 13 and April 27. 3:30–5:00 in the Rainbow Room.

Exploring Boundaries…and Beyond—It’s a Small World!

Easter Sunday, April 20, at 5:30 pm

Come explore the world of medieval manuscripts during April’s Exploring Boundaries…and Beyond. An illustrated presentation by Carol Langner will introduce us to this complex, arcane, and staggeringly beautiful genre of medieval art. This is a chance to see how Bibles looked way back then. In addition to the lecture, there will be a display of manuscript facsimiles and reproductions laid out for us to look at. We’ll be starting at 5:30 PM to allow time for perusing the display books.

Linger afterward for Evening Prayer at 7:30. Some munchies and beverage will be provided to help tide us over. This will be an appropriate way to close our Holy Week and Easter celebration.

Coffee and conversation

Wednesday, April 23, 9:00–11:30 am at Sure Shot Café on Wilder Street in Makiki.

Join Pastor Angela for conversation and coffee (and breakfast too if you wish!). The topic of conversation is up to you—we’ll talk about life, church, ministry, and anything else in between.

A Message from Pastor Jeff

Christ is Risen—Pretty Soon ☺

A gentleman recently introduced himself to me at church rather apologetically. “I’m a C&E Christian,” he said half-apologetically. I was pleased to meet him here at church since it was neither Christmas nor Easter, yet there he stood, big as life. I imagine that like many folks the worship and pageantry of Easter and Christmas stir fond childhood memories or transport him back to a time of innocence. Or maybe it is that the stories we tell on those days are full of hope, joy, and positivity. Perhaps it is nice to come to church without having to slog through Paul’s yammering about divorce, or Peter’s sermon to the Gentiles, or pretty much any part of Leviticus that makes it into the lectionary. C&E are nice, safe, pastoral, and easy to digest—if you don’t look to closely.

While there is rejoicing in heaven (and in the church office) for every C&E Christian who finds comfort and solace in the great feast days, there is still something very special about having journeyed through Advent to find the way to Christmas or through Lent to get to glory of Easter. Along the way to Easter, regular worshippers encounter Nicodemus, who was a bit unsure about Jesus, and Zaccheus, that wee little man who climbed a sycamore tree to see Jesus. We hear about disciples borrowing a donkey, a great parade, betrayal, faith, healing, wonder, wandering away, a trial, a beating, and even death. None of the story is easily digestible or a casual bedside read. It is interesting that folks who devour “Breaking Bad” and “Dexter” (look it up) find the Passion Story depressing and unbelievable. But there is more in the narrative, worship, and preaching leading up to Easter than a thriller with a glorious, upbeat ending.

In Easter we see a God who encounters us on our own ground. The Easter narrative spins out a powerful image of God who connects intimately with the human experience of joy, disappointment, pain, laughter, pleasure, thirst, love, friendship, and even death. This Immanuel is God with us in a way we cannot fully understand or fully comprehend. By hearing more of the story in the weeks and days leading up to the Ascension, we can be apprehended by the gospel in a fuller way and at the very least have a glimpse of the fullness of glory for which we pine in Easter. This Jesus, grounded in humanity, chooses to be with us.

This is the remarkable truth that we sometimes miss as a religious community. Easter is not about us going to church to see Jesus rise again. (We already know the outcome before we start the car on Easter morn!) Easter is about gathering to witness what the presence of God in Christ has done and is doing in the midst of us. We are moved to joyous singing; we ask for and receive forgiveness; we proclaim God’s justice for the hungry, the houseless, and the desperate. The community gathers around wine and bread, music and ancient text, part in habit, but also to be renewed to live out God’s promise for another day. On our best and least inhibited days, maybe we will dance a bit a share a blessing with a stranger. Who knows what might happen? Certainly though, this Jesus who died on a cross and was raised is in the midst of all it.

Easter comes in its own way for each of us, but all are blessed—from stalwart Sunday regular to C& E visitor. Truly God’s abundant grace is poured out measure upon measure.

Here We Stand

Thank you for your generous giving in support of your ministry at Lutheran Church of Honolulu. Two months into our 2014 budget I am happy to report we are doing well and living within the limits of our budgeted expenses. Some annual expenses that came due in the early part of the year—including annual service contracts and licensing fees—skewed our expenses picture. But these early expense “blips” will be evened out over the budget year.

Member and Plate Offering is 75% of what we anticipated in our budget year to date. Is that percentage cause for concern? While it may be, it is too early to tell. Were that rate of giving to continue, our Church Council would be compelled to find ways to decrease expenses by one fourth. We continue ahead confident in the direction of your ministry at LCH and in your continued support!

Thank you for your partnership in this ministry!

Blessings,
Gary Brauer, Treasurer

What’s New on the LCH Website?

Bill Potter, webmaster

Have you noticed the change in the upper left corner of your computer screen when you visit the LCH website? “Nothing,” you say? Go and take another look. See it now? Up there beside the URL for the page, you can see a tiny version of the new LCH logo on a dark background. It’s what people call a favicon.

The word “favicon” is short for “favorite icon” or an icon that shows up in your browser’s favorites list. They have been around since 1999. Originally favicons were limited to very small images (16×16 pixels), but in recent years some browsers can use somewhat larger images, and the Apple Touch introduced 156×156-pixel favicons.

With the previous version of the LCH website, we had a favicon with our old logo in the same shade of blue as the navigation pane on the left. You can still see that if you follow the “Legacy Site” link on the current site.

When we moved to the new site, there were problems that kept us from having a favicon. First, the new site uses the WordPress content management system, and WordPress does not include the capability for adding a favicon in its basic configuration. I had to try two different plugins (extra bits of code that add new capabilities) before finding one that worked properly.

The second problem resulted from the fact that our new logo has finer detail than the previous one, so it was much more difficult to come up with version that could be recognized at the small size of a favicon. In addition, the usual version of our logo with light blue on white background did now show up well. However, after some experimentation, I found that light blue on dark blue (like in the footer at the bottom of each web page) worked much better.

If you use a smartphone, you can add the large “Apple Touch” icon to the home screen on the phone to have direct access to the LCH home page. I have also created separate versions of the “Apple Touch” favicon for each of the daily office pages if you want to directly to those.

Irmgard Carola Margarete Hörmann

LCH Volunteer of the Month for April 2014

This issue of the Heartbeat is scarcely big enough for the full story of Irmgard Hörmann’s volunteer activities, both at LCH and in the wider community. Born 1917, Irmgard was literally raised in this church community, where her father Arthur was pastor for 30 years.

A graduate of Punahou (1933), UH Mānoa (1937), and library school at Columbia (1938), Irmgard retired from her position as statewide young-adult librarian at the Hawai‘i State Library in 1972. She went on to a second career, longer than her first one—she’s still going strong!—establishing a record of service that earned her recognition in 2010 as O‘ahu’s Outstanding Female Volunteer of the Year (at which time she had racked up 8,184 volunteer hours, including recruiting and training of new volunteers).

In 1968, Irmgard was one of a team which worked to organize Faith in Service of Humanity (FISH), and in 1979 FISH in turn led to the creation of Hawai‘i Meals on Wheels (HMOW), which provides home-delivered meals to the elderly and to persons with disabilities unable to leave home. Irmgard, Sue Anderson, and other members of the Social Ministries Committee at LCH worked with several O‘ahu churches to form the committee that created HMOW. The program began with $25, six volunteers (who cooked at home), two routes, and six clients. It now serves over 80,000 meals a year, with 43 delivery routes, and a force of 400 volunteers who deliver aloha with a human touch as well as a hot meal to 500 clients. Now an emerita on the board of directors, Irmgard was honored at a HMOC gala in September 2012 at the Willows.

Irmgard also served for years as cook for the monthly dinners that LCH serves at the Institute for Human Services. And in perfect keeping with her life as a librarian, for the last 25 years, on Wednesday mornings she has been sorting and pricing books on religion for the Friends of the Library, a job she says keeps her “happy and laughing and interested in life”.

In July 2009, LCH celebrated Irmgard’s 90th birthday—and her lifetime of service to this church—with a day-long bash; the contributions of the entire Hörmann family were honored, as the central LCH courtyard was renamed the Hörmann Courtyard.

Irmgard once styled herself “a professional volunteer”—and the Honolulu newspapers have called her “legendary” and a “luminary.” We salute LCH’s volunteer extraordinaire!

Food for Thought

Saturday, April 26, 6:30 pm at the home of Irmgard Hörmann
