The American Guild of Organists will be having their national convention during the first week of July here in Kansas City. To see which events might be open to the public, please see the convention website    http://www.agokc2018.com/.  

I want to highlight a few pre-convention events that are open to the public:
 
On July 1st at 5pm at St. Andrew's Episcopal, Kurt Knecht will accompany Choral Evensong and play a short recital mostly comprised of his own music following the service. 
 
Also on July 1st at 5pm at Rainbow Mennonite Church, Christopher Marks from the University of Nebraska will be playing a pre-convention recital which will include Romance & Tarantella by Kurt Knecht.

!!!!!!!!!We are in need of Coffee Hour Hosts!!!!!!
Please Let Allison know
      

We hope you will consider teaming up with another family or a friend to maintain our fellowship and gathering following the 10:30 a.m. service that has brought our parishioners together for years.

Hosting Coffee Hour is a fun and easy way to get to know other St. Paul's members! The host brings the food and the church provides the drinks. An example of what a host might bring would be: two large pans of brownies (cut very small), maybe a bowl of fruit (oftentimes grapes cut into small clusters), and a bowl or two of pretzels or popcorn. If you have questions or wish to co-host with another member, please contact  Alison.  Dates are available:

June 10:            Awaiting a Host
June 17:            Awaiting a Host
June 25:            Awaiting a Host
July 1:               Birthday Sunday with Cookies &                              Lemonade
