Still Time to Join an ‘Ohana Gathering

There are still a number of chances to participate in one of our ‘Ohana Gatherings in preparation for the 125th anniversary of the Lutheran Church of Honolulu in September of 2025. These gatherings mark the first steps on our journey to identify the missional project(s) for the 125th anniversary that it will support through fundraising with a goal of $65,000.

‘Ohana Gatherings are being held in the homes of members and friends at various dates, times and locations around O‘ahu and provide opportunities for LCH members and friends to gather to:

• build, renew and strengthen relationships,
• provide mutual support for the proclamation of the Gospel in daily life, and
• engage in deep, meaningful conversation about the vision, mission, and ministry of our church that God is calling us to in the next 2–3 years.

Everyone associated with this community of faith is encouraged to sign up for and attend one of these small groups of 6–8 people. At each one, a facilitator will shepherd the process and a secretary will capture notes and key elements sparked by the conversation.

Afterwards, ‘Ohana Gathering leaders will meet with Pr. Jeff, Pr. Margrethe, and Council President Olivia Castro to synthesize the conversations. They will bring the results to the congregation and Council for decision making on the 125th anniversary mission project(s) and priorities for the following 2–3 years.

Below is a list of the gatherings scheduled for August. A sign-up sheet will be available after church on Sundays. You may also sign up by contacting Olivia Castro via email at ocastro808@gmail.com.

• August 3 @ 10:00 am at Margrethe and Tony Kleiber’s home, Mililani
• August 11 @ 3:00 pm at Rich and Nikki Mundell’s home, Kaimukī (for Youth and Young Adults)
• August 24 @ 3:00 pm (tentative depending association approval) at Carolyn Koehler’s home, Waipi‘o Gentry
• August 25 @ 5:00 pm at Mary Fastenau’s and John Flanagan’s home, Hawai‘i Kai (fully subscribed)
• August 31 @ 4:00 pm at Maria Au Hoy’s home, McCully

From Pastor Jeff

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid.”—John 14:27

Many of the conversations I am having with parishioners, friends, and colleagues keep coming back to the same common theme—fear. The fear we are talking about is not so much the kind of rational fear built into our psyche that keeps us safe from real danger or the kind of fear that helps us avoid death in dangerous situations. This fear is more of a pervasive feeling of constant dread that seems to wash over many parts of our lives. We’ve all heard the phrase “waiting for the other shoe to drop.” This fear is like that, but instead of a shoe, we are waiting for the proverbial anvil to drop on our heads like Wile E. Coyote in the old cartoons. It is non-specific, but persistent; It is fear that influences us every day, but can’t necessarily be pinpointed. It is fear that can at times leave us exhausted even though we are always aware of it or understand it. In the end, we don’t “get” the fear, but it certainly seems to be getting to us.

In a way, it’s no real surprise that so many of us are afflicted by fear. We are figuratively bathing in it every day. A while ago, I wrote about how commercials on televisions are designed to elicit fear at nearly every level. Years ago, you would have never seen prescription medications advertised on television. These days, a large percentage of ads are touting medications to address nearly any real or imagined ailment that might come along. Coupled with advertisements promising products to make us look younger, feel more confident, or boost our energy, these ads promise a cure for everything. Feeling fat? Take a weight loss drug. Feeling down? We have a pill for that. Low energy? Here’s a supplement. Spouse not noticing you? Try this! It’s not the commercials themselves that worry me; it is the not-so subtle messages that we are not quite right, not really beautiful enough, looking a liiiitttle too old for our spouse to be attracted to us and that there might be a hidden ailment just waiting to snatch everything away from us like a thief in the night. The constant barrage chips away at God’s declaration that we are “wonderfully and beautifully made.”

Political ads are no different. This election cycle is all about playing on fear. Outright lies and artless innuendo stoke fears in white males that their “God-given” superiority is under attack by hoards of interlopers streaming into the country. That freedom for women somehow translates into slavery for males. That LGBTQ+ people are of the devil and must be stamped out. Not only should we be afraid, but that salvation is somehow linked to some political or moral ideology. Both major political parties accuse the other of wanting to “end democracy” in the U.S. And lastly (but not exhaustively), “alternative facts” have become a staple in political ads, regardless of party, resulting in a waterfall of lies and misinformation that throws fuel on an ever-growing fire of divisiveness. But they do agree about one thing: everyone should be afraid.

O.K. So the politicians and advertisers have done a great job of pedaling fear. We bought it. We wallow in it. So now what? The movers and shakers invoke fear to move people away from rational thought toward irrational action. Sometimes the fear they pedal makes us feel alone and vulnerable, and that makes us more willing to follow whatever path they might be steering for us. Perhaps that is what the author John is thinking about when he quotes Jesus “I do not give to you as the world gives.” Jesus is comforting his disciples as he tells them once again that the world does not have power over them, they are not alone, and he will not be with them forever. Perhaps there is comfort for us there as well. Jesus will not let fear rule. Instead, he reminds his disciples (and us) that God is with them in the midst of turmoil, joy, life, and death—all that life throws at us. What Jesus bestows on us is not more fear, moral angst, anger, or divisiveness. Instead, Jesus calls us to be “rooted and grounded in love” (Ephesians 3:17). From that love flows the courage to take on the lies of the world that try to convince us that we are not quite good enough, or the wrong color, or wrong sexuality, or too old or ugly to matter. From that rootedness and grounding in love, we have the courage to stand together and lift our hands and voices against the voices of hatred and declare to the world “You are beautifully and wonderfully made.” For all our warts and insecurities, our injustices and inequities, we are not fatally flawed people awaiting the ministrations of some political or moral savior. We already belong to God, who is at work in us, drawing us into community guided by the Spirit for the good of the whole cosmos. In Christ, we see the world through eyes of infinite and unlimited love. While fear leads to death, Jesus is life, and life more abundant.

This may seem like a simplistic and precious response to the complexity of fear. Perhaps it is. But faith draws us deeper in to love, and the deeper we dive into love, the less control fear has over us. The more clearly we hear Jesus saying “do not be afraid,” the less we can make out the voices calling us to be afraid and the less likely we will fall to its siren call. The more we draw together with all the diversity of creation, in our joy and our sorrow, in our wonderfully created shortcomings and self-doubt, the better our world will fare for everyone. “Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid.”

Connecting with Our Neighbors

As we continue our journey towards wholeness, this August we begin a two-month focus on reaching out to the community that surrounds LCH and welcoming the neighbor. So, as we begin the next leg of this journey, questions arose for me: How are we already connecting with our neighbors? What else is God calling us to do? How might we connect with our neighbors and build a stronger sense of community?

I first want to begin by giving thanks for what I already see happening. I see various members welcome visitors/guests, greeting them with hand-woven lei, engaging them in conversation before worship and during coffee hour, and helping them navigate worship when it seems they might be lost. In addition, I give thanks for our music ministry, which brings not only our immediate neighbors but also those farther away to this place we call LCH. They’re enriched by the music in worship, the varied and beautiful concerts throughout the year, the pūpū people provide for these concerts, the conversation that happens, and the artfully designed bulletin boards around the courtyard which bear information and beautiful pictures that tell about current activities of the church.

The LCH campus gets much use. Some neighborhood condo boards meet in our boardroom. Music lessons happen. AA groups meet in Isenberg. Music groups practice and perform in our nave. It is becoming a real “gathering place,” and I find that exciting!

Remember the Free Store we held in 2022? It was such a success that we are planning to offer another on September 21st for our community’s benefit. The recently-introduced concept of a “gift economy,” in which goods and services are freely exchanged with no payment or promises to pay, is something of a revival of the early Christian communal economic arrangements. It provides benefits for our environment, for people shedding unwanted/no-longer-needed/still-useable “stuff,” and for those receiving items they need.

We wanted to encourage you to begin saving items to contribute, which you are invited to bring in the morning of the sale. More detailed information will be forthcoming, in the next HeartBeat. There is also a plan afoot to enhance this event with other activities on campus like food offerings, games for children, or who knows what else. Maybe you would be interested in helping plan the community event or assisting on September 21 with the Free Store itself. If so, talk with Pr. Jeff about helping with the community event or Barbara Poole-Street for the free store.

The ‘Ohana Gatherings, coordinated by council, started last month and continue through August. These gatherings, I imagine, may generate ideas on how to expand outreach to our neighbors. And, they may also shed light on new directions towards which God may be calling us.

I am grateful for the community of LCH, and I look forward to the journey ahead as we continue to heal, grow, and build an even better connection with our neighbors.

Save A Life!

A few months ago, LCH installed an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) inside the Nave near the entrance. You are cordially invited to a training session to learn how to operate the AED in case of an emergency on Saturday, August 10, 2:30 pm in Isenberg Hall. The training will be conducted by AED Institute of Hawai‘i.

Countless lives have been saved through AED use ever since it was made available for public use many years ago. It is important that we have as many people as possible trained in the use of the AED so that we have the best chance of being able to help someone in trouble. It is especially important for those of us on regular rotation as ushers, readers, video crew, and worship assistants to be trained.

Please sign up this Sunday after church or email pastor Jeff at pr.jeff@lchwelcome.org if you would like to participate in the training.
