First Mondays Concerts: Timeless Trios for Clarinet

Monday, March 3, at 7:00 pm

Join us for an evening of exquisite music featuring the captivating clarinetist Adam Ebert, accompanied by the harmonious sounds of Steve Flanter on viola, Sung Chan Chang on cello, and Megumi Pulido on piano. The program of Brahms and Mozart trios will take you on a journey through the rich tapestry of classical and romantic music, highlighting the beauty and versatility of each instrument.

All are invited to gather for pūpū in the Hörmann Courtyard and 6:15 pm. The concert is free, with a suggested donation $20. In addition, we will continue to collect packaged, unopened dry goods (e.g., cereal, flour, sugar, pasta, etc.) and canned food donations for the Angel Network at each concert.

LCH Celebrates Earth Day Sunday

This year LCH will celebrate Earth Day with a special service on Sunday, April 27. The service will most likely take place in the Hörmann Courtyard since the Nave will have just been painted. Please watch the eNews and HeartBeat for details about this special worship service.

History shows that Americans exploited the Earth’s resources to achieve greater levels of personal comfort, convenience, and wealth. This exploitative attitude, combined with the advent of the industrial revolution and new technology, wreaked havoc on the natural world until the advent of stricter environmental laws starting in the 1970s. The environmental movement gained significant momentum with the first Earth Day on April 22, 1970. This movement initially was intended to protect the natural environment. Besides protecting air and water quality, this movement now aims to foster more resilient and sustainable communities, too. Participants in this movement advocate for sustainable stewardship of natural resources through improvements in public policies and education to curb or transform wasteful behaviors.

The environmental movement requires expert knowledge of the interplay of the natural environment, ecological principles, public health, and human rights. This expertise is now under threat from the current administration in our nation’s capital. The environmental movement is also an international movement, represented by a range of organizations including religious ones. Participants in this movement do not always agree on its goals or the means to achieve them. They include millions of private citizens, professionals, politicians, scientists, nonprofit organizations, and individual advocates like former Wisconsin Senator Gaylord Nelson, the founder of Earth Day; noted marine biologist Rachel Carson, the author of Silent Spring; and Greta Thunberg, a Swedish climate activist.

The purpose of our Earth Day celebration each year is to draw attention to important environmental issues, to encourage people to use their voice, and their vote to influence public policy. It is important that we raise our voices now, because the executive branch of our government recently signaled its intention to weaken environmental laws and regulations that have been on the books for over 50 years. The current administration intends to sharply reduce the total number of people working in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the National Park Service, the National Weather Service, and other government agencies that monitor and protect our environment. These actions will likely have serious unintended consequences.

Thus, we need to become more active in the environmental movement for our long-term survival. Environmental activism is the collective action taken by individuals and groups to protect or aid the environment. It addresses environmental issues from local to global concerns and advocates for sustainable practices and policy changes. These issues include climate change; air, water and land pollution; deforestation; loss of biodiversity; and environmental justice. Activism can take many forms, including:

• Grassroots Strategies: Local campaigns, community organizing, and volunteer projects.
• Political Advocacy: Lobbying, protesting, and supporting environmental candidates.
• Legal Challenges: Filing lawsuits against polluters and advocating for environmental regulations.
• Creative Expression: Art, music, and other forms of media to raise awareness.

Environmental activism is crucial as the planet faces unprecedented environmental challenges that threaten ecosystems and human health. How can you get involved?

• Educate yourself and others: Learn about environmental issues and share your knowledge.
• Take action: Volunteer with environmental organizations, participate in protests, or make sustainable choices in your daily life.
• Find your niche: Focus on issues that resonate with you and your skills.
• Be persistent: Environmental issues are complex and require a long-term commitment.
• Build relationships: Collaborate with like-minded individuals and organizations.

You can reduce your carbon footprint by conserving energy, water, and natural resources; opting for sustainable transportation; reducing waste through recycling and composting; and supporting local and ethical businesses.

From Pastor Lesley

Then those “sheep” are going to say, “Master, what are you talking about? When did we ever see you hungry and feed you, thirsty and give you a drink? And when did we ever see you sick or in prison and come to you?” Then the King will say, “I’m telling the solemn truth: Whenever you did one of these things to someone overlooked or ignored, that was me—you did it to me.”—Matthew 25:37-40, The Message Translation

I have a confession to make. (I know it might be kind of scarry, when the first newsletter article your interim pastor writes begins with, “I have a confession to make.”) My confession is that I had intended to write a different article than this one that you are reading. It was an article in which I thanked you for your gracious welcome and told you I looked forward to our time together to do the work of this transition and interim time.

However, just as I was about to hit send to email the article to Bill, the newsletter editor, I got a call from Olivia, the council president. She had a question that is really the core of the interim time, so I thought I would spend some time reflecting on the question. She asked, “What should LCH’s response be to all the suffering ‘our neighbors’ are going through in the climate of the day?” This is an excellent question, and I think all of us, individually and communally, are wrestling with that question, seeking our own answers.

Olivia shared with me some of the stories and history of when LCH was in the forefront of the fight for justice and peace for all people. So, Beloved People of God, does LCH still feel called to be a leader in the fight for justice? (This is a good interim question. After you answer that, my next question is what kind of pastor do you think you need that can partner with you to help you accomplish your goal.)

Presuming, based on the past history of LCH, the answer is yes, then how do we continue being a leader in advocating for justice and speaking up on behalf of those that have limited or no voice? What are the advocacy opportunities that are available to us? How will we use love over power to influence policy makers just like Jesus did, so we might walk with those who need us to stand up with them and on their behalf?

In the next weeks, we are encouraging all to wrestle with the question, “How will I, and how will LCH, as a community of faith, speak up for a world of diversity, equity, and inclusion that I believe is God’s preferred future?” Check out some of these resources that you can use to begin your prayerful consideration of ways in which we can work for justice for all.

Please listen to the video, “We see you” (www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdE19Ovwts). This video by bishops throughout the ELCA acknowledges our desire for diversity, equity, and inclusion and promises that we will not be silent and no one can erase anyone. The video has many ideas of how we can work for justice for all.

You can also go on the ELCA website and check out the Presiding Bishop’s recent video (www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnho5l8iNoU) that speaks to issues on immigration. You can sign the Ash Wednesday Ecumenical Declaration (cwsconnect.org/ecumenical-declaration/) that the ELCA, as a church body, has signed. This declaration states that we, as people of faith, will not stand by silently as refugees are turned away, asylum seekers denied safety, and immigrant families forced apart.

You can join other members of LCH as, together, we prayerfully discern how we will live out our baptismal covenant “to strive for justice and peace in all the world.” I look forward to see the ways which God will guide as we strive for justice and peace in all the earth.

God’s richest blessings and my prayers,
Pastor Lesley

Growing

Bless now, O God, the journey that all your people make,
the path through noise and silence, the way of give and take.
The trail is found in desert and winds the mountain round,
then leads beside still waters, the road where faith is found.—ELW 326, verse 1

Growth is a natural part of life. We begin as dividing cells that, over 9 months, grow into a complete but miniature human. After birth, we continue to grow physically, intellectually, and emotionally. There are things that we can do to speed up some of our growth, but most of the changes we undergo, at least early on, seem to occur almost magically. Most of us learn to walk, talk, and share without much conscious effort.

But for me, spiritual growth has been different from these other types of growth. It’s been neither unconscious nor effortless. Instead, I’ve had to intentionally try to do things that deepen my relationship with God.

Worship is a natural place to look to grow one’s faith, and for me, it now plays a central—and centering—role in my life. However, sometimes it’s a struggle. At times during worship, my mind and heart wander. When this occurs, I try to rein in my thoughts about past and present so that I can focus solely on the “now.” It’s only when I’ve quieted my mind that I can open myself up to God and feel the transformative power of worship. I am moved by the music, I hear the message in the hymns and lessons and recognize the truth in the sermons. At the communion rail, I feel a bond with God and with others. When I can open myself to the Spirit, it comes, and my faith and trust in God grow.

While worship helps me to grow spiritually, it’s not the only venue where this happens. I’m sure you’ve found those places and practices that make you more aware of the presence of God. For me, I feel God strongest in nature. The care and precision with which every plant and animal has been designed and the way each habitat provides exactly what each living thing needs make me see clearly the Creator’s hand in all there is. It is a humbling and exhilarating feeling, one that always strengthens my faith in God.

Caring for others is another way I connect with God. When I help my neighbor, I feel God working through me. Maybe you’ve felt this, too. We know that God loves us, so we love God and show that love in service to others, and in that service to others, our connection to God grows stronger. It’s a series of amazing cycles of give and take in which faith and love abound.

In April and May, the Stewardship Team will focus on spiritual growth. As we listen to the call to be God’s hands and feet in the world, we grow into a deeper connection with God, creation, and each other. You are invited to join us for 2 special events.

In April, we’ll once again join some of the ‘Iolani students in cleaning up the walking path around a section of the Ala Wai Canal. It’s a fairly easy walk and a wonderful way to strengthen our bonds with each other, enjoy a beautiful part of our island, and do our part to keep trash and other random items out of the Canal. If you haven’t yet signed up, please see Cindy.

In May, we’ll have a prayer walk around our neighborhood. It will be a chance to be together, in relationship with each other and with God, as well as show our presence in the neighborhood. Watch for more information about this event in next month’s Stewardship Corner.

The road to spiritual growth appears to be a wide one that can accommodate all our individual differences and preferences. But no matter how we decide to walk this journey of faith, we know that we never go alone, for we walk with each other and with God, who both leads and accompanies us on our journey.

Divine, eternal lover, you meet us on the road.
We wait for lands of promise where milk and honey flow,
but waiting not for places, you meet us all around.
Our covenant is written on roads, as faith is found.—ELW 326, verse 3

God’s Work, Our Hands T-Shirts

For the next two Sundays (April 6 and 13), Cindy Scheinert will take your t-shirt orders in the courtyard after church. As part of our 125th anniversary, we would like members and friends of the congregation to have a God’s Work, Our Hands (GWOH) shirt to wear for our offsite events (May prayer walk, September GWOH event at Fernhurst, October Gay Pride Parade, November tree planting, etc.). This is one way that we can become a more noticeable presence in our community.

Shirts are $15, caps are $27, and license plate holders are $6. Cash and checks made out to LCH will be accepted. The last day to place an order will be April 13 since the ELCA says prices will be going up in May! Thank you for your enthusiastic support of this effort!

Easter Flowers

Help brighten the Nave for Easter by donating money for an Easter flowers plant to decorate the altar. We will be using orchid plants to celebrate Easter in the Nave this year. Plants may be donated in memory or in honor of a loved one. Your dedications will be included in the Easter Sunday bulletin.

If you would like to purchase one of these plants, please complete a form and submit it with your payment either in the offering or to the church office. The cost is $15 per plant, and after worship on Easter Sunday, you can take these home with you and enjoy them well into the future.
