HeartBeat—November 2015

A Message from Pastor Jeff

For years I have resisted “churchifying” secular holidays. The good Lord knows we have plenty of festivals, holidays, commemorations, feast days, and high holy days on the church calendar without having to find religious connections for Teacher’s Day, Dog Appreciation Month, or other holidays dreamed up by Hallmark for our shopping pleasure. But this year, I want to make an exception for Thanksgiving. In these days of quiet desperation, escalating tensions in the Middle East, global warming, and staggering wealth disparity, maybe giving thanks is something worth doing, and worth doing well.

Although we are far removed from the first reported Harvest Festival of 1621, we have much in common with our ancestors who gathered around the table together (for three days—no football) to celebrate the white settlers’ first harvest. They also celebrated a mutual protection pact with indigenous Abenaki and Tisquantum peoples (a pact that would not last). The settlers gathered-in crops. Squanto, leader of the native peoples in the area, brought five deer and other foods, and they shared together the bounty of the earth. Games were played, dances were held, and life was celebrated. Although we have no way of knowing for sure what people were thinking or saying, the historical tradition paints a picture of a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural gathering centered around the gifts of the earth, mutual support, and at least to some extent, mutual tolerance for one another.

As I put myself in those shoes, there is a lot to be thankful for and a lot to learn. The very act of taking time to give thanks for the food on our table is something we sometimes forget. Living in farm country for a few years educated me about food production in a way no grocery-shopping trip could ever achieve. Actual dirt, hands, machinery and, dare we say, even love goes into producing the apple I had for breakfast and the wheat in the bread I toasted. I see my wheat farmer friends John Zabel and the Kirchoffs in every piece of toast. I see dairy farmers Stella and Roger in every glass of milk, and I give thanks for them, their hard work, their precarious lifestyle, and their joyful service to all who eat.

How wonderful it is to remember our ancestors practicing the art of sharing as they feasted for three days. Each brought the bounty to a common table—sort of the first Lutheran potluck without the blessed Jello! (Sadly, the History Channel also reports there was no turkey, potatoes, or pumpkin at the first meal either.) Let us give thanks for a willingness to give ourselves away and share our food, compassion, love, and care with the world.

How wonderful to remember that the first harvest festival brought together people of different origins. Although the friendship between these people would not last and the plight of native peoples throughout the continent would later become desperate, at least for a moment there seemed to be mutual respect and sharing. These days, multi-cultural, multi-ethnic, even multi-lingual gatherings are not the exception but the norm. Let us give thanks for the gift of diversity and plurality. As we gather around our tables this year, find ways to live out that diversity in real and lasting ways in our families, churches, and workplaces.

The first Thanksgiving was deeply connected to the earth. Most of us are far removed from our food sources, but we must never forget to care for and give thanks for the very earth that sustains our lives. Let us give thanks for the earth and renew our commitment to its care.

Let’s turn the noun Thanksgiving into a verb—Giving Thanks. Luther was right, I think, that in living with a thankful heart we ready ourselves to live out Christ’s love in our neighbor and in the world.

Happy Giving Thanks!
Pastor Jeff

A Passion for Our Property

Caring for our LCH campus is a quiet ministry with noticeable results. Behind the scenes we care for our lighting and sound systems, ensure our fire safety alarms are inspected, keep pest control on schedule and our trees trimmed, coordinate repairs and replacement of tools and equipment, and generally make sure our campus is safe, clean, and in good repair. Sometimes we even get to plan big projects like replacing roofs or resurfacing parking lots! And sometimes it can even be glamorous jobs like unclogging a toilet.

Jean-Paul Klingebiel has been passionate about caring for the LCH property since 1994, and April Smith has shared her gifts for property upkeep for the last five years. Jim Sullivan has been one of our “go to” guys for many years, as have Bill Fay, Jim Niermann, Larry Nitz, Roy Helms, and Randy Castello. We have also been blessed with Pastor Jeff’s handy-man skills time and time again! We are thankful for those members who have moved on who helped us out as well.

Now we need new faces and more hands to make for lighter work. You are welcome and encouraged to get involved in caring for our church home. You don’t need to be able to fix things yourself, just be able to contribute some time in making sure that regular or unanticipated services are accomplished. This is as easy as making a few phone calls or exchanging some emails with service providers and the church office. Several of our recurring services are preplanned and only need quick periodic review to make sure all is accomplished as agreed.

You don’t need to know how to use power tools or draw blueprints. You do need to be a little passionate about taking care of the property from which we do God’s work with our hands.

Will you say yes to helping coordinate the care of the property here at LCH? We hope you will. Mahalo!

Dedication of Financial Commitments for 2016

Sunday, October 25, we distributed Commitment Packets as you left church, or we put one in the mail for you. In the packet we asked each of you in the LCH ‘ohana to commit a portion of your treasure to the ministry God has entrusted to us as a congregation. Please bring or mail your Commitment Card to the church for dedication next Sunday, November 8.

If you have your completed card with you today, just put it in the box by the rose window. If you did not get your commitment packet or forgot your commitment card, there are some extras in the ushers’ stand. Copies of the materials in the commitment packet are also available on the LCH website under the “Stewardship” menu.

With passion,
Peggy Anderson, Pam Buckley, and Bill Potter
LCH Stewardship Committee

Angel Network In-Gathering

Sunday, November 1

On the first Sunday of each month, an in-gathering of food and personal items are collected at LCH for Angel Network, a ministry based out of Calvary-by-the-Sea Lutheran Church.

Adult Forum—Mysticism, Biblical Infallibility, and the Afterlife

Sundays, November 1, 8, 15, & 29, 9:20 am in the LCH Boardroom

Larry Anderson, Fritz Fritschel, and Wayne Gau will lead a discussion of Marcus J. Borg’s book, Convictions. Borg’s book challenges long-held beliefs and how they apply to contemporary issues. Adult Forum will not meet on Sunday, November 22, due to the First Half Annual Meeting scheduled for that day.

Leadership Roundtable

Sunday, November 1, 11:45 am in the LCH Boardroom

Please plan to join Council President April Smith for a short (45 minute) gathering of all committee chairs and team leaders. This is an opportunity for us to sit down together and share information on what is happening with all the ministries at LCH. If you are a committee or team leader, please be prepared to share a little information on your activities with the group. Mahalo and see you there!

OYEA Event for November—Cancelled

Please note that the O‘ahu Youth Education Activity event, scheduled for November 1, has been cancelled due to conflicting events at the host parish. Mahalo to everyone who brought personal care items for the homeless. They will be distributed to O‘ahu’s needy families as planned.

Carl Crosier Memorial Concert

Sunday, November 1, 7:00 pm—Free Admission

The Lutheran Church of Honolulu Choir will join with the Hawai‘i Vocal Arts Ensemble to remember long-time church musician, Carl Crosier, in a concert featuring Maurice Duruflé’s beloved Requiem and the world premiere of Frank Ferko’s Missa O Magne Pater based on medieval Hildegard chants. Timothy Carney and Scott Fikse will conduct the combined choirs with members of the Hawai‘i Symphony Orchestra, internationally-renowned organist Jonathan Dimmock and soloists Laurie Rubin, mezzo-soprano, and Leslie “Buz” Tennent, baritone. Mr. Ferko will be in attendance for the premiere of his mass.

Duruflé’s Requiem, while composed on the Gregorian chants of the mass for the dead, allows the listener to focus on life rather than on death, while receiving comfort in the face of the unknown. Ferko’s Missa O Magne Pater was commissioned on the suggestion of Crosier and is patterned after Vaughan Williams’ Mass in G minor for unaccompanied double chorus. These masses, with their mystical feeling, have brought the beauty of the Latin mass into modern times.

Note: There is no Evening Prayer or Poetry Group scheduled for Sunday, November 1, due to the Duruflé Requiem Memorial Concert in honor of Carl Crosier which is being held at LCH.

Book of Faith Bible Study

Thursdays, 10:00–11:30 am, in the LCH Boardroom

Our gatherings continue with the study of the Old Testament Minor Prophets. In the Catholic tradition, the minor prophets are read in the last weeks of November as the liturgical year comes to an end. The hope is that the group can study these prophets with an ear to how their sometimes radical messages may speak to us in our own troubled times. These books are generally short, but far from easy to read. There are excellent online articles you are encouraged to explore on your own in preparation for group discussion.

• November 5: Amos 1-5
• November 12: Amos 6-9
• November 19: Jonah

In Stitches Meeting

Saturday, November 7, 9:00–11:00 am

In Stitches, the LCH craft group, will meet in the Rainbow Room. Come learn to make ribbon lei or come just for the fellowship. We look forward to seeing you there!

Process Thought Forum—Poetry of the Earth

Saturday, November 14, 9:30–11:00 am in the LCH Boardroom

Process Thought for November concentrates on the poetry of Wendell Berry—environmentalist, farmer, activist, and poet. Our attention has been drawn to the critical feature of climate, economic inequality, and refugee numbers, especially as mentioned in Pope Francis’s recent papal encyclical. Wendell Berry’s poetry often fits into this category of concerns. We should also note the ELCA’s call to exercise our creative imagination and strive to “restore creation.”

LCH New Member Sunday

November 15

Lutheran Church of Honolulu will welcome new members during the 8:00 and 10:30 services on November 15. Everyone is welcome to be a part of this worshipping community, and we encourage you to participate at whatever level you find comfortable. If, however, you seek a deeper relationship with the congregation, you are invited to become a member of the congregation either through transfer of membership or affirmation of baptism.

If you have a story you would like to share about how you or a family member have been touched by organ or tissue donation, please contact Pastor Jeff.

Exploring Boundaries and Beyond: Ethical Issues in Reporting the News

Sunday, November 15, 6:00–7:15 pm

LCH welcomes Patti Epler, editorial director and general manager of Civil Beat, an online investigative news source here in Hawaii. Patti began her long career in journalism in 1976, serving newspapers in several states. Some of the events she covered include the construction of the trans-Alaska pipeline, the Exxon Valdez oil spill, quality of life issues for Alaska native peoples, and immigration enforcement practices along the southern US border.

According to the Civil Beat website (www.civilbeat.com), “Patti is an old-school investigative journalist in a new media world. She still values solid relationships with news sources and strong journalistic ethics. Like many of her colleagues, she’s been laid off (more than once) from what were once vibrant and thriving newspapers. She is now a true believer in online journalism and all that the Internet has to offer news operations.” The transition from print to digital news is just one of the “boundaries” Patti will guide us across. She joined Civil Beat in 2011.

Launched May 4, 2010, in Honolulu, Civil Beat is the winner of numerous journalism awards and has been named the best overall news site in Hawai‘i for the fifth year in a row by the Society of Professional Journalists, Hawai‘i Chapter. According to their website, Civil Beat is now “the largest news outlet dedicated to public affairs reporting about Hawai‘i. Our focus is on investigative and watchdog journalism, in-depth enterprise reporting, analysis and commentary that gives readers a broad view on issues of importance to the community.”

LCH Women’s Book Club

Monday, November 16, 10:00 am

We’re meeting at Murashige’s to discuss Widow of the South by Robert Hicks. This is a gripping novel based on the incredible true story of a woman whose life was changed forever by the Civil War.

Writers’ Workshop

Monday, November 16, 7:00–8:30 pm

Writers’ Workshop will meet in the LCH Boardroom. All are welcome! For information, please call the LCH office at 808-941-2566.

Mary Magdalene Society

Saturday, November 21, 6:00 pm in Isenberg Hall

Please join our potluck supper and games night in Isenberg Hall. Supper begins at 6:00 (set up at 5:30; help is greatly appreciated) with games to follow. Please bring a food item and your favorite game(s).

If you are interested in being on our email list, please contact Jim Cartwright through the Church Office (808-941-2566). Provide your name and email address. Please share information of this gathering and an invitation to other LGBTQI and friends you know who may be interested in socializing with us.

First Half of the Annual Meeting

November 22, 2015, 9:15 am

Each year congregational members gather as a community to tend to important matters of business and ministry. These include electing leadership, passing a budget, receiving reports, and discussing our missional objectives. At LCH, we divide our annual meeting into two halves. In November we elect Congregational Council members who will take office January 1, review the draft budget, and any other business that might need to be transacted. In January the main business is to approve a final budget for the new year. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend these meetings, but only members in good standing may vote.

Please plan to attend!

Thanksgiving Eve Joint Worship

Wednesday, November 25, 7:00 pm at LCH

>Lutheran Church of Honolulu is hosting the Thanksgiving Eve worship this year. Pastor Christopher Golding of St. Clement Church is scheduled to preach. LCH lay ministry will be assigned to assist during this Holden Evening Prayer service.

2015 Annual Thanksgiving Meal

Thursday, November 26, 2:30 pm in the LCH Hörmann Courtyard

You are invited to Join Pastor Jeff and Jean for a traditional Thanksgiving meal/potluck at Lutheran Church of Honolulu. We will gather first for pupus and final setup. Dinner will be at 3:00 pm.

Pastor and Jean will provide a large turkey and fresh-baked rolls. If you would like to share in this meal, please take a moment to rsvp by email to pr.jeff@lchwelcome.org or sign-up on the sign-up sheet in the courtyard. Please indicate the number of people in your party and the dish you intend to bring. Keep in mind, we generally have about 40 people at this meal, so plan your portions accordingly.

One Pot, One Hope

Saturday, November 28, 10:00 am

A consistent group of LCH volunteers helps feed 100 to 125 people each month in Wai‘anae. Help support this mission outreach project by participating or by bringing donations of designated items—Costco gallon-sized cans of chili, fresh fruit, granola bars, bottled water, recycled grocery bags, and large cardboard boxes—or checks, payable to “One Pot, One Hope.” Bring donated items to church on the third Sunday of the month (November 15). See Peggy Anderson for more information, including volunteering and carpool.

Annual Advent Procession

Sunday, November 29, 7:30 pm

For more than 40 years, the Lutheran Church of Honolulu has maintained a tradition of beginning the liturgical year with an intimate, candlelit service of readings, prayers, and choral music. Join us for this special worship service to begin another year of worship together.

Committee Chairs

It’s time to begin compiling the Annual Report! Please submit your committee’s yearly report to the LCH office by Monday, December 21. Direct questions to the office at 808-941-2566 or email lch@LCHwelcome.org.

Josie said yes—will you?

The Church Council appointed Josie Bidgood to fill one existing vacancy. We still need nominees to be elected at the first half of our Annual Meeting, on November 22, to fill three more council seats.

The work of the council is: important, interesting, informative, good fellowship, and fun!

The work of the Council is not: scary, intimidating, overly time consuming, or difficult to understand.

What to expect:

• One, 2-hour meeting per month. Council members take turns hosting, providing a meal and short devotion, and also serve a month as “council in charge,” ensuring that the church is locked up and items put away after the last worship service on Sunday morning.
• You can also expect to communicate during the month via texting or email if necessary. If you don’t text or have email, we can make arrangements for you—don’t let that stop you from saying yes to serving on Council.
• Council members also serve as liaisons to church committees or teams to communicate back to the council on planned activities or needs. Planned and unplanned absences are expected and taken into consideration, so don’t assume you can’t serve if you’ll be away for a month or two.

Please consider putting your name on the ballot to serve on the 2016 LCH Church Council. Still have questions? Just ask a current council member: April Smith, Craig Clissold, Steve Miller, Naomi Castro, Georgine Stark, Dori Palcovich, Lori Nishimura, Hope Jahren, Randy Castello, Fred Benco, or Pastor Jeff.

Mahalo for your prayerful consideration to serve!

Give Aloha

Mahalo to all who participated in this year’s Give Aloha, Foodland’s Annual Community Matching Gifts Program. Customer donations for LCH totaled $4,653.00, generating matching gifts of $154.47 from Western Union and $794.51 from Foodland! Thank you for your generosity.
