Music & Choir News
"God Be in My Head" will be the choral anthem at this week's 10:30 am service offertory. The text comes from an old English Prayer. It is written by one of the most popular current living English composers, John Rutter. Rutter is especially gifted at writing beautiful melodies, not only in the soprano voice but throughout his voice leading in all the choral parts. I think this piece is a great example of his beautiful and simple writing. This recording comes from the Cambridge Singers, with Mr. Rutter conducting.

Christian Formation
Sunday:
Adults will continue this Sunday with the reflection on "Becoming the Beloved Community" at 9:30 in the EfM room on the third floor.
Children's continue at 10:20 on the third floor in the rooms next to the kitchen.
Join us for the next installment of Acts and Action, as we move to reading Jeremiah at our new meeting date and time: Wednesdays at 7:30 pm on the third floor.
Acts and Action is a small group dedicated to the spiritual discipline of being engaged citizens.
We meet weekly to read scripture, share our concerns and plan how we may live faithfully in the world as both engaged citizens and members of the body of Christ.
If you're interested please contact
Mother Megan
or
Jacob Burch
.
You can also reach us at
Acts & Action at our Facebook group
EfM continues to meet on Tuesday nights. This group is by registration on an annual basis. If you are interested in learning more about EfM, click
HERE. Registration for the 2018-19 term will open in late spring.

St. Paul's
Sunday Mail Ministry
In these tumultuous times, more people than ever before are reaching out to their members of Congress and other elected officials. Indeed, this is part of our calling as followers of Jesus in the world--to engage with the powers that be to make for a better world for all God's creation. Each Sunday, the members of Acts and Action will have a table set aside during Coffee Hour where you can write a postcard to your selected elected official, and write whatever you wish to convey: I agree, I disagree, I'm praying for you, etc. Acts and Action will then deliver them by hand to the local offices of KCMO reps on the final Friday of each month. (If you are sending to someone on the KS side of the state line, talk to Mtr Megan and she will arrange for stamps!)

!!!!!!!!!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:
January 28: Chili Cook Off
February 4: Awaiting a Host
February 11: Chocolate Sunday
February 18: Awaiting a Host
February 25: Awaiting a Host
March 4: Awaiting a Host
