Marlise and Liane swap some herbs on Earth Day Sunday.On April 19, we will celebrate Earth Day, and, as has become our custom at LCH, we will once again have tables set up for the sharing of “gifts from nature.” If you grow flowers, herbs, or any other type of plants, you could share those or some cuttings/seeds. If you have chickens, you could bring eggs. If you are crafty and have made something out of natural materials, you could share that. It’s also fine to pick up some fruits, nuts, etc. at the store if you live in an apartment and don’t grow anything.
At 9:00 am, Barbara Natale will lead the Adult Forum in the Boardroom. She holds a master’s degree from the Department of Urban and Regional Planning of the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa and is a member of the American Institute of Certified Planners (AICP). She is currently a senior associate/planner at Group 70 International (G70), a local planning and design firm that does consulting work in Hawaiʻi and elsewhere. She has contributed to land-use and community-based planning in Hawaiʻi for over 20 years. Her work involves ahupuaʻa and watershed management and the integration of traditional Hawaiian stewardship principles with contemporary planning and environmental analysis. She was recently selected by Pacific Business News (March 13–19, 2026, edition) as one of “40 women who mean business.”
Worship at 10:00
VIA, LCH’s social justice ministry, will hold its first major event, a community Q&A with local legislators, taking place on April 15 in the Nave. This event will offer an opportunity for members of the congregation and the broader community to hear directly from elected officials about election integrity, voting rights, civil and human rights, government transparency, and resident rights and due process in immigration enforcement.
Enter a sound world poised between light and shadows in this rich chamber music program featuring Antonín Dvořák’s Terzetto and Johannes Brahms’s Piano Quintet in F minor, Op. 34. Performed by an ensemble of distinguished local artists, including Helen Liu and Michelle Kim (violins), Alex Peña (viola), Sung Chan Chang (cello), and Jonathon Korth (piano), this concert explores the expressive breadth of the Romantic chamber tradition, from lyrical delicacy to dramatic intensity.
Join in the fellowship and celebration of Easter at our potluck brunch before the 10:00 worship service. The early start time is to allow the choir to eat before their pre-service rehearsal. Please understand that we will end the buffet at 9:30 so cleanup can be done before worship.
Get to know local favorites Leslie Goldman (soprano), Sarah Lambert Connelly (mezzo-soprano), and Sadee Xu (piano) as they share music that shaped their artistic journeys. Featuring solos and duets by Monteverdi, Mozart, Schubert, Massenet, Puccini, and more!
The season of Lent begins with a very special worship on Ash Wednesday. This beautiful evening service begins the Lenten season of reflection, prayer, and preparation as we hear the words from Genesis 3:19, “Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.” Ashes, a sign of mourning and repentance, are placed on our foreheads as a reminder of our mortality, but the ashes are in the shape of a cross, a sign of promise, and life, and hope.
We regret to announce that our annual Faith and Arts Showcase has been postponed until a later date.
Each year, the LCH youth request your help with their Punahou Carnival parking fundraiser. The carnival begins each year on the first Friday of February and lasts for two days. We need adult and youth volunteers for three-hour shifts during the carnival on both days.
