Each year, congregational members gather as a community to tend to important matters of business and ministry. These include nominating leadership, passing a budget, receiving reports, and discussing our mission objectives. At LCH, we divide our annual meeting into two halves. This year’s meeting will be conducted in-person and via Zoom meeting. In November we’ll elect Congregational Council members to take office in January, review the draft budget, and conduct other business that may need to be transacted. In January, the main business is approving a final budget for the new year. All are welcome and encouraged to attend the meetings, but only members in good standing may vote. Please plan to attend!
If you will be attending the meeting over Zoom, contact Pastor Jeff, via email at pr.jeff@LCHwelcome.org, for a meeting number and password to log into the meeting.

Join us for an exciting musical adventure exploring the various combinations of these four instruments in various trio formations. Yuseon Nam, violin, Alex Hayashi, oboe, Marie Lickwar, horn, and Jasmine Nagano, piano, perform music from the Romantic period into the 20th century. The lush romanticism of Brahms leads to the polytonality and quartal and quintal harmonies of Milhaud and on to the mature but lighthearted composition by Reinecke.
We will be going deep into the Wai‘anae Mountains above Mokulē‘ia. After learning about native plants, we will follow our guide David Anderson up the Nike Road, through a locked gate, to the rare plant nursery on the 685-acre Pahole Preserve. We will outplant some native species and do weed control on the hiking trail.
We’re saying goodbye to our director of music, Scott Fikse, on Sunday, July 31.
