The serving line for Wednesday evening soup and salad suppers.Each Wednesday evening during the season of Lent, members and friends of LCH will gather for table fellowship and worship.
The evenings begin with a light supper of soup, salad, and bread beginning at 6:00 pm. The meal is provided by volunteers, and all are welcome to join in fellowship and conversation around the table. If you feel moved to contribute to the meal, please sign up in the courtyard on Sunday morning.
Worship follows the meal at 7:00 pm using the music and prayerful song from Marty Haugen’s Holden Evening Prayer. This year’s worship will focus on our Jahreslosung (“year verse”), “ new heart I will give you, and a new spirit I will put within you” (Ezekiel 36:26). The Jarreslosung was introduced during German Vespers on Epiphany.
As we all move forward on our Lenten journey and prepare for Easter joy in the resurrection, all are invited to come together at the table, to be fed and nourished in body and soul, and to worship together as a faith community.
The cantors place the lighted candle at the beginning of worship.
We invite everyone to join us for worship on “Welcoming Sunday,” January 29.

Melius Christiansen, Jacob Handl, George Guest, and others will be intermingled with hymns, carols, and the timeless setting of the Magnificat by Charles Villiers Stanford.

Over the course of the summer months, LCH will join thousands of ELCA congregations in participating in Presiding Bishop Elizabeth Eaton’s church-wide initiative “Called Forward Together in Christ.” The initiative is an ongoing conversation taking place at every level in the ELCA including the church-wide office, seminaries, synods, regions, and congregations. The intent is to shape the future of our ministry in light of God’s call, the cultures in which we find ourselves, and the current economic and ecologic realities of a changing world.
Please join the LCH community in meditation, prayer, and music. Together we will mourn, pray, and honor the dead as a united community in the wake of this tragedy. Our service will include selections from the Gregorian Mass for the Dead, featuring men from the LCH Choir and cantors.
For many years, the Lutheran Church has observed Earth Day, in April, with special projects and worship. Sunday, April 24, is our 2016 Earth Day celebration.
