Join us for a rare opportunity to hear this outstanding choir during their spring tour to the islands.

Musical selections include Gregorian chant, Taizé chant, Renaissance polyphony, and more.
While the modern brass quintet has only been around since the 1940s, a wealth of compositions has developed, ranging from the obvious bold and energetic works that horns are known for to the more tender and subtle repertoire these instruments are beautifully capable of playing.
Over the past few months, members of the congregation have approached Pastor Jeff about the possibility of calling Vicar Bree Lloyd to serve as a pastor at LCH. After several conversations with Bishop Andy Taylor and other synod staff, it was determined that Vicar Bree was eligible to be a pastoral candidate at LCH. Pastor Jeff and Vicar Bree had several conversations exploring her sense of call, the mission of the congregation, possible roles, and the challenges and opportunities such a call might present; and Vicar Bree expressed interest in working with the congregation toward a part-time call. Pastor Jeff forwarded the request from members to the Congregational Council Executive Committee, and they agreed to bring it to the attention of the full council.
