Jazz Service - January 31, 10:00 - Don’t Miss It! We will again have a single combined worship service on the last Sunday in Janu-

ary, before we go upstairs for the annual meeting. But this year, that worship

service won’t be a traditional service, or a contemporary service, or a blended

service. It will be a Jazz Service.

Pastor Ed Neiderhiser (who was guest pastor here last year) will bring a group of

Jazz musicians here to lead us in a worship service that he has been taking on the

road for years. We heard about this from other Lutheran congregations that had

hosted this service and loved it.

This will be our regular worship service for that Sunday, but also a great opportuni-

ty to invite friends or neighbors to the event.

trumpet, Ed Neiderhiser is regularly heard in jazz, big band, pop,

From Our Associate in Ministry

Where is church for you?

OK…that seems like a silly question I know, but bear with me.

Because of some translation issues over the centuries, we have come to see the word

“church” as the word that Jesus used in the New Testament to describe his followers. That word,

ekklesia, is in truth referring to the followers themselves - the assembly called out by God from the

world – NOT a building or the place where we gather.

So maybe the better question for me to ask is “WHO is church for you?”

We have spent the better part of the last year talking about Long Range Planning and Discerning our

Future. And from that a series of goals has come into being and a mission statement is being

developed.

In the midst of this process – AND ALWAYS – we have to remind ourselves that we are the church.

The building is not the church.

And that means that the church is beyond these walls. It is everywhere that we are.

So that can bring us back to the original question: Where is church for you?

For some of us, we have been finding places to be church in new and interesting places: Wegmans in

Downingtown and The Eagle Tavern for Pub Theology.

For some of us, it is gathering at Simpson Meadows for Bible Study.

Or in our homes.

Or serving at a Synod mission site.

Or going on a Mission Retreat.

When you hear the word “equipping” here at St. Paul’s – that word which is part of my job title – know

that the equipping we do is for sending you out into the world.

For making you ready to be the church beyond these walls.

As we begin 2016 this year, I want to spend some time here in my column talking about being church

in the world and what that means for you! So if you have any thoughts or ideas about where else we

can be church together, please let me know!

Happy New Year!

Allison

What I’m currently reading: What Heart and Mind: The Four Gospel Journey for Radical Transformation

By Alexander Shia. In this fresh look at the Gospel of Jesus, Shia shows how each gospel account is more than

simply telling Jesus' life and words and story. Each shows a practice in response to a pressing life question. How do

we face change? (Matthew). How do we move through trials and suffering? (Mark). How do we receive joy and know

union? (John). How do we mature in service? (Luke) The four gospels are more than the sum of their parts. The four in

the sequence of their ancient reading cycle form a telling of the universal journey of growth, transformation and love.

And this cycle is important to both individuals and communities.

Page 6 St. Paul’s Newsletter

Youth & Family Ministry “How silently, how silently the wondrous gift is given!

So God imparts to human hearts the blessings of His heaven.

No ear may hear His coming, but in this world of sin,

Where meek souls will receive him still, the dear Christ enters in.”

O Little Town of Bethlehem verse 3

The above verse from the famous Christmas Carol is one of my favorites. It reminds me of several things

that I need to ponder often not just during the Christmas season. God comes to us in Jesus as a gift and most

often in “silent” ways. We live in a world of great brokenness; both individual and communal, yet Christ enters in

where and when we humans are humble enough to realize our need for wholeness and healing. As much as I love

the great celebrations of Christmas, both secular and sacred, my heart and mind are not far from the “underside”

of Christmas…our world’s need for peace and justice in their various forms.

Peace and justice don’t seem to come as rousing and hurriedly as multiple concerts, parties, gift

exchanges, television specials and whatever else we create and give our time to this time of year. Our human

experience reminds us that we drink deeply from the cup of sorrow and from the cup of joy. Christians for centu-

ries have believed that we live in an “already but not yet” reality. Jesus has come as God’s gift to us to show us

that God cares so much about God’s creation that God will enter into it fully as one of us! Jesus demonstrates in

words and actions that he is a servant without limit. Jesus fully identifies with us by experiencing death that we

each must face.

Yet, death cannot hold Jesus! In the death and resurrection of Jesus, God has begun the new creation

that is both already here but not fully yet! We are blessed because we get to participate in this new creation. We

go forward as baptized children of God into God’s world as imperfect servants. However, we go as Jesus’ hands

and feet; from the youngest of us to the eldest. Maybe we go silently. Maybe we go into the world loudly with our

words and actions that declare God’s love for all. However we go, we don’t go alone. Jesus promises to be with us

as we go. Our world has complex problems that we as the Church may not have all the answers for. Yet we are

called to ring out with words and deeds the lyrics of another Christmas Carol, “peace on earth, goodwill to all.”

“I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day” is a great example of a song that takes seriously the despair we

face as the human community but also captures the great hope of the angel’s message to the shepherds: Peace on

earth, goodwill to all! May we experience the peace of Christ in our hearts, in our homes, in our friendships, in

our church, in our communities and in our schools. Yes, we face great challenges to peace and goodwill in our

hearts, homes and world. Like the bells on Christmas day, by God’s grace we are called to “ring out”: peace on

earth, goodwill to all even though there is strife and strain in all of these places. We serve a God of the neverthe-

less. In spite of all the turmoil we experience and see, we are called to proclaim in word and deed, “peace on

earth, goodwill to all.” May we be renewed for this purpose in this Christmas season by the Christ who comes

silently to humble hearts for the sake of the world.

Thank you, thank you, thank you…

Troupe of ACTS put on another successful show this season (Rock Nativity). My name appears as director

in the program but I really played a minor role. This show doesn’t happen without all of the energy, wisdom and

insight of the Troupe “veterans” and “rookies” (both student and adult). I’m grateful for our seniors and students

leaders and for the adults who have helped make Troupe a great experience for students and the greater St.

Paul’s community over the years. Thank you for those of you who were able to come to a show. Our prayer is that

you were both inspired and entertained. Behind the scenes are ticket handlers, program editors, parent helpers

with a variety of things, etc. Again, thank you for all you did that helped our young people shine forth the

message Emmanuel – God with us!

Peace,

Malcolm

A Note from the Director of Music: Make a Joyful Noise in January!

Happy New Year! A BIG thank you to all of the musicians who participated in the music on Christmas Eve as well as throughout the year. I feel so blessed to work as part of such a talented, dedicated and giving community. The new year is a great time to join one of our ensembles, even if you have not participated before. Below is a list of the various music ministries that St. Paul’s has to offer and how YOU can become involved in 2016:

WORSHIP TEAM: St. Paul’s Praise Band leads the music in worship every Sunday at the 10:45am Contemporary Service. We are fortunate to have a core group of singers and musicians of a variety of ages, however, we are currently looking for both male and female vocalists comfortable with pop or rock style, as well as guitarists and bassists. Look for information soon about an open rehearsal jam night.

JUBILANT BELLS: St. Paul’s bell choir for teens and adults will begin meeting regularly on Mondays at 7:30pm in the Sanctuary in 2016. Our first rehearsal of the new year is Monday, February 1st. We plan to play monthly at both services. In addition to our core of experienced ringers, we have had a number of brand new ringers join over the past couple of years. We are still looking for a few more ringers. This is a great group to join if you are looking for a way to grow in music and fellowship. We have a variety of experience, a variety of ages and our members are a mix of early and late service attendees. Due to the nature of this ensemble, advance notice to participate is required. Please contact me to let me know you are interested.

EARLY PRAISE: St. Paul’s pick-up choir sings the 1st Sunday each month (unless otherwise noted) at the 8am Traditional Service. No previous experience necessary, however, note-reading is a plus since we meet at 7:30am to put together the anthem for that day. Come once, come when you can, or come every month! If you are interested, please let me know so that I can add you to the email list for updates. Upcoming dates include: THIS Sunday, January 3, February 7, and March 6. Mark your calendars!

CHOIR: St. Paul’s Adult Choir sings weekly at the 10:45am Contemporary service, except for the third Sunday of each month when they sing at the 8am traditional service. Rehearsals are Thursdays 7:30-9pm in the Sanctuary. No previous experience necessary - new members are always welcome! If you are interested in singing with us, let me know and I will add you to the email list for updates.

VOICE OF THE SPIRIT: St. Paul’s teen choir is the place to be on Thursdays 6:15-7pm in the choir room. This group of energetic teens joins in fellowship, fun and song together each week. If you are a 6th-12th grader who’s looking for a place for your voice to be heard, check us out!

PRAISE PLAYERS: St. Paul’s started a new children’s ensemble this past fall. We have 12 members from PreK-5th grade who participate in singing and playing a variety of classroom percussion instruments. We meet Wednesdays 6:15-7pm in the Choir Room. Come join us!

Upcoming Youth Events to Mark on Your Calendar

Young Youtherans Lunch and Magic Show - January 24th - All 1st – 5th graders, and their fam-

ilies, are invited to a magic show right after the 10:45 worship service. We’ll be serving a kid-friendly lunch so

please sign up in the hallway outside of the sanctuary letting us know how many from your family we can expect.

St. Paul’s own Tom Baker will be sharing his magician skills with us as we head into the New Year! We’ll also be

taking a free will offering for Cradles to Crayons. If you have any questions, call or e-mail Malcolm at the church

office: 610-363-6264 ext. 205 or [email protected].

Senior High Youth Gathering February 19th-21st (10th – 12th grade) – This is the annual gath-

ering our synod puts on for high school youth. It’s a time of fellowship, fun, service and growth in faith. This

year’s theme is iChuch: Engaging the Intersection of Faith and Technology. Through large and small

group activities, hands on engagement, worship, prayer and service projects we will learn how we can be the

church in new ways in these new times in which we live. Most importantly, we will focus on how we can “go out”

as Christ’s disciples into the world and take the lessons we learn from this weekend back home into our schools,

communities, families, and congregations. Early bird discount is $190 before January 4th. After January

4th the cost is $210. If you have any questions, call or e-mail Malcolm at the church office 610-363-6264 ext. 205

or [email protected]

Harvey Cedars Youth Retreat, March 4-6th (7th – 9th grade) – This is an annual gathering that

pastors from our synod put on for youth of our congregations. We are inviting all Confirmation age students

to attend this retreat. This year’s theme is The W(h)oly Side of Life. This will be a time of fellowship, fun,

service and growth in faith. Early bird discount is $125 before January 18th. After January 18th the cost

is $150. If you have any questions call or e-mail Malcolm at the church office 610-363-6264 ext. 205 or

[email protected]

Senior High Mission Trip July 17th – July 22nd (finishing 8th grade – finishing 12th grade) -

Shout out to Ben Yahr and Lisa Diewald for being thorough in their task to get this information to

me, so I could get it to you! Here are the basics and the rationale:

Who: students who will complete 8th grade up to and including students who will complete 12th grade in 2016.

When: July 17th - July 22nd 2016

Where: McDowell County West Virginia What: Summer mission trip through YouthWorks. We'll serve by doing

labor intensive work (light repair, construction, yard-work, etc.) AND relational ministry work (helping

with VBS, visiting senior citizens, etc.) These may not be the exact things we do, just examples.

Cost: $359 (we'll do fundraisers and the church will help out too)

We have registered for 18 spots for the week of July 17th-22nd 2016 in McDowell County, West Virginia.

We will be doing our trip through a very good mission agency, YouthWorks (whom St. Paul's has used before but

not since 2011). I know many of you wanted to do The Pittsburgh Project (TPP) again, but here's why we decided

not to: TPP was very labor intensive, and the YouthWorks trip is half labor intensive and half relational minis-

try. We felt it was a good mix for our group to experience. Also, unlike the South Dakota trip (which we would

have had to fly to), the West Virginia trip can be driven in just over 6 hours one way. SO....Mark your calendars

now! We'll get more information out to you soon so we can begin our fund-raising strategy and fill up our 18

spots. There is room (as of today) to increase that number but we need to make sure we have commitments for

the spots we have reserved.

ALSO, Parents please consider being a chaperone/driver for this trip. We can always use help from

adults in the church and it's always good to start with parents of students who are attending.

If you have any questions, call or e-mail Malcolm at the church office 610-363-6264 ext. 205 or

Social Ministry Goings-On

We cannot close the year 2015 without our heartfelt thanks to St. Paul’s people for your great support of our out-

reaches to those in need. From Souper Bowl Sunday, when we request donations for the Veterans Community

Gardens, to Christmas Giving. And your generous giving to help fill food baskets at Easter and Thanksgiving

was overwhelming.

The Thanksgiving baskets were delivered to the Care Center for Christ with the help of Dennis and Roger Martin,

Heather Nelson, Chris Flach, and Pat, Lori, and Colby Burke. Not exactly a “light” chore. Thanks everyone! Hope

nobody was omitted from the list. If so, our apologies.

At Christmastime, all tags were taken from the tree that asked for a specific gift for each of the 50 children

through the Lord’s Panty. Again, thanks for your support.

At a recent event for Safe Harbor, three key words were the theme of Senator Andy Dinniman’s message-- “God

Created You.” He said people ask, “Where is God when all this bad stuff is happening in the world. Why doesn’t

He do something about it. He did - He Created You.”

While we cannot conquer all the bad stuff, We Can help to make quilts that will provide shelter and give warmth -

We can help feed the hungry with our donations of food - We can help package meals to be sent around the world

through Shine. We can help by being instruments of His Peace and much more.

We begin the new year continuing with the usual activities, plus whatever arises during the year that needs our

attention, and we may possibly act on.

Social Ministry offers many ways for you to be a part of God’s Plan. We do ask that you don’t feel that you are

expected to contribute to all - time, funds or whatever our requests may be. Choose what you are comfortable with

and go with your heart. Just keep in mind that “God Created You.”

As far as a specific need:

You all may know this by now, but Safe Harbor Homeless Shelter just loves our Chili, so please make up a pot

of Chili and bring it to the large freezer in the parsonage. Be sure to put it in freezer bags. If you need a recipe, we

have one in the hallway on the Social Ministry bulletin board and on our website that makes 40 servings that is a

favorite. Sign up for this ministry in the hallway.

And Souper Bowl Sunday is coming up...

Our popular Pecan Turtles were a “fast sell out.” Thanks to all who purchased them,

whereby you made it possible for us to continue with our project of sewing layette blankets

for Lutheran World Relief and the new babies born in the Lakota Nation.’

As this comes to press, we are already planning the start of making Easter Eggs, as Easter comes in March this

new year. We don’t take orders, but you will find us in the Narthex sometime in February offering those delectable

goodies for sale.

Crafters

All are welcome this Sunday from 9:30 to 10:30 to gather in rooms 203/4 to discuss the Discipleship Goal of the

Discerning Our Future effort. Sadly, we will not be serving coffee but you are welcome to bring your own. We will

also look at the new Mission Statement under development. Your input is welcome and necessary on both these

efforts.

St. Paul’s Preschool Enrollment

Bishop Responds to Mosque Vandalism Area religious leaders have expressed dismay at the desecration targeting Al Aqsa Islamic Society in Philadelphia, where a severed pig's head was discovered outside Monday (December 7).

"This is a despicable and disturbing act of hatred," said Bishop Claire Burkat, who knows and respects Imam Mohamed Shehata in their work together on the Religious Leaders Council of Philadelphia. "We don't want our strong interfaith relationships sabotaged by such evil intent. Together the faith leaders of Philadelphia will continue to work for peace and oppose bigotry at every level and in every place."

The following week – the bit on the full story of the Syrian Refugee crisis.

Get The Facts About Syrian Refugees

Lutheran Children and Family Service is the largest refugee resettlement organization in PA, and is in-volved in resettling Syrian refugees in Allentown. Did you know that refugees are the most scrutinized and vetted individuals entering the U.S.? Or that the process takes on average two years? LCFS has creat-ed an online resource center so that you can get the facts about this important issue. Learn more at http://ministrylink.org/resources/refugee-resources/

this group. The child receives frequent mailings of materials. These mailings include age-appropriate

activities for the child and suggestions and tips for the parents. A Singable Sunday Tunes CD is also

Heather Yost just finished her Bachelors of Science in

Nursing degree at the West Chester University. She was

reluctant about having this story shared, but felt that

“If sharing it encourages someone else to take the plunge

and go back to school, or do something else they have

been putting off until ‘the right time’ then it will have

served its purpose.”

Congratulations to Heather, and to her family who

supported and encouraged her along the way.

(Husband Matt is taking the photo.)
