LCH E-News Lite—April 2, 2009From Pastor Jeff
Our journey together continues in the coming week as share the stories of Jesus’ journey into Jerusalem, his death, and his resurrection. Holy week will find us waving palms, washing feet, carrying crosses, lighting candles, singing, praying, being somber, and rejoicing. Please plan to attend as many worship opportunities as possible this week so that your story becomes part of Christ’s story. To skip Holy Week services and arrive on Easter is like going to the movies but waiting until the last fifteen minutes of the film to enter the theater! Come and share this timeless event with those who love you, your LCH Ohana. Peace, Palm Sunday Worship this Sunday

Last night (Wednesday) many of us gathered for our last midweek Lenten service. Each week we have gathered for soup and salad, fellowship and worship. Members new and old joined in setting up the tables, preparing food, and leading us in worship. Our theme, “Waters of Hope...” took us from the beginning of creation, through Israel’s journey in the desert, right into the wedding at Cana. Each week we heard how God has used water to bring hope to a thirsty people. But more than anything, these times of eating and worship have brought us closer together as a congregation. We learned more about each other, we appreciate each other in new ways, and together, we have been preparing for the events of Holy Week and Easter. Thank you Carl Crosier for coordinating worship, to our legion of cantors and acolytes, to those who cooked, cleaned and set up each week, and for those who simply came to celebrate.
Come and worship the Lord as we share this very special time of worship. Palm/Passion Sunday will begin in the Hörmann Courtyard with the Palm Sunday Liturgy, and continue in the nave (church hall) with the Liturgy of the Passion.
Join the Pau Hana crew this Friday, April 3rd, at Ala Moana Beach Park for Pau Hana Friday! Pastor Jeff and the Pau Hana Crew will provide hamburgers, hotdogs, plates, cups, drinks, and chips. Come directly from work or home and have a beautiful evening with your LCH friends. You are welcome to bring a side dish or desert, but there is always plenty of food! We will set up around 4:30 and begin serving dinner around 5:15 or so. Come swim, walk on the beach, or just enjoy the evening. Stay after dinner for coffee and tea and watch the fireworks show courtesy of Hilton Hawaiian Village. We have had as many as 50 folks come for this event. How about you? There is plenty of parking.
