All are invited to join us for our first Bach and Prayer service on September 22 at 7:00 pm. A quiet time of prayer and reflection, Bach and Prayer offers a space for silent prayer and meditation interspersed with contemplative organ works by J. S. Bach and his family.
Contact the church office to reserve a seat, or tune in for the livestream on our streaming page or the LCH Facebook page. If you miss the livestream, the service will be archived on the LCH Facebook page.
This service will be offered on the fourth Wednesday of each month.
Please join us Saturday, September 25, at 9:00 am for God’s Work Our Hands Volunteer Day at Sand Island Beach Park. Though not the same day as God’s Work, Our Hands Sunday, this will be LCH’s opportunity to participate in the ELCA’s national day of service. God’s Work, Our Hands Sunday celebrates who we are as the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America—one church freed in Christ to serve and love our neighbor.
The beginning of the new school year marks the return of Godly Play, LCH’s Sunday School program for children from kindergarten though 5th grade.
September also brings the return of Compline, or Prayer at the Close of the Day.
Incredible as it may seem, Vicar Bree’s time with us as an intern is almost over. She has been a wonderful addition to this ministry, and we want to say thank you in grand (pandemic-appropriate) style. We hope that you will be able to join us to thank this exceptional vicar who has brought vitality and optimism to our congregation during this very challenging year.
Enjoy a night of vocal jazz in the swinging styles of legendary groups like Manhattan Transfer, New York Voices, and Singers Unlimited. Wearing a hat from a previous life with Celebration Vocal Jazz and Celebrity Cruises, our music director Scott Fikse will be joined by five fabulous vocalists and the LCH Jazz Combo for an evening of unforgettable music from the pop, musical theater, jazz, and rock genres.
Author Jacqueline Carey illuminates an interesting metaphor when she says “There are patterns which emerge in one’s life, circling and returning anew, an endless variation on a theme. So…the greatest sonatas are composed.”
LCH staff and the Worship and Music Committee have carefully planned an in-person worship event for this Sunday, August 1. The number of attendees is limited to 35 to accommodate the 6-foot CDC distancing guideline. We will meet outside in the courtyard. RSVPs and masks are required. 
Summer Jazz continues with a quartet led by our very own Reid Ishikawa and including Jeremy Lawi on drums, Alika Lyman on bass, and Allen Won on sax. This outstanding combo will play through a historical sampler of jazz music composed by some of the genre’s greats, including pieces by Louis Armstrong, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, and more. The quartet will be joined by a surprise guest vocalist or two.
