LCH E-News—September 24, 2009From Pastor Jeff
Sabbath—the day dedicated to God, to rest, to re-creation—is not a burden or duty, but a gift given by God for God’s people. “Six days shall you work, but on the seventh day you will rest,” says God in Genesis. For God’s people it is to be a day unlike the other days of the week. In the Christian tradition, it is a day that includes gathering with God’s people to sing, hear God’s word, be refreshed in fellowship and hope, and, hopefully, rest. Sabbath is God’s gift for you. Good Sabbath! Aloha, Memorial Service for Elizabeth “Betty” RobertsonPlease join the Robertson family in celebrating the life of Betty Robertson at a memorial service Saturday, September 26th, 10:00 am at Lutheran Church of Honolulu. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the American Heart Association, Hawaii Chapter. GIVE ALOHA ends SEPTEMBER 30

“Why are your disciples working on the Sabbath?” Jesus found himself confronted with this question as his disciples eased their hunger by eating grain as they walked through the field. Jesus surprised the religious authorities by asking them: “Is man made for the sabbath, or it the sabbath made for man?”
