Welcoming Our LCH Call Candidate

Posted on by

Please mark your calendars for a series of welcome events for the LCH call candidate and their family.

On Sunday, June 7, the Call Committee will have hard copies of the candidate’s bio available in the courtyard. The candidate requests that this document not be shared in any fashion beyond LCH’s walls (social media, via email, etc.) to maintain confidentiality.

In addition, on Friday, June 12, the candidate will engage in a series of in-person and online (Zoom) small group meetings. Sign-up sheets are in the courtyard at each Sunday service and please plan to pick your meeting by June 7. In-person sessions will be held at 10:00, 10:30, 11:00, 11:30, 1:15, 1:45, 2:15, 3:00, and 3:30; and a Zoom session will take place at 12:30. The next day, Saturday, June 13, we’ll have another opportunity to welcome the candidate and their family at 4:00 pm during the pūpū prior to the auction.

LCH members will vote on extending a call to the candidate on Sunday, June 14 in a congregational meeting following Sunday worship at a special time, beginning at 9:00 am.

Call Committee Recommends Candidate for Our Next Pastor

Posted on by

After careful consideration, the Call Committee has identified a candidate that they believe has the God-given gifts needed to partner and lead with LCH as together we grow into God’s preferred and promised future.

Members of the congregation will have opportunities to meet and greet the pastoral candidate on during their visit beginning Thursday, June 11. During the day on Friday, June 12, groups of 5–10 will meet with the candidate, and on Saturday, June 13, a larger community session will be held beginning at 4:00 pm. At 5:00 pm that day, we will held a silent auction to raise funds to relocate our new pastor, and there will be plenty of time for informal socializing with savory pūpū and an ice cream social.

Sunday morning. June 14, after worship, there will be a congregational meeting to vote on issuing a call to the candidate.

These are exciting times in the life of Lutheran Church of Honolulu as we look forward to preparing to call our 12th congregationally-called pastor in 125 years.

Please say mahalo nui loa to the LCH Call Committee. They have been an exemplary team that has done their prayerful work with diligence and discernment.
