Transcript of M AY 2 0 1 5 OF FAITH KEEPING IN TOUCHsaintpauldenver.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/... · George...
Saint Paul Church is an open,
affirming, and diverse community of
faith representing two Christian
traditions, that of the Evangelical
Lutheran Church in America and
that of the Roman Catholic Church.
Each tradition maintains and
honors its own heritage, and each
worships according to its own
l i turgical practices. As one
community of faith, the members of
the respective traditions work
together in social outreach and
shared hospitality. Together we
rejoice in the manner in which
diversity has enriched, nurtured,
and challenged the life and ministry
we share in Christ, and we regret
actions and attitudes throughout the
Church that may have inhibited or
prevented access to Word and
Sacrament because of age, race,
socio-economic or marital status,
physical or mental capacities, gender
identity, or sexual orientation. We
are a Reconci l ing in Christ
community.

BLUEGRASS MASS AND POTLUCK “PICNIC” ON MAY 31 On Trinity Sunday, May 31, the Saint Paul Community of Faith will celebrate the conclusion of
the Easter cycle in the church year with ONE Sunday morning liturgy at 10:30 am featuring a
Bluegrass Mass presented by the Saint Paul Choir and followed by a “church picnic” potluck dinner at
noon. The Mass setting itself, entitled, The World Beloved: A Bluegrass Mass, and accompanied by a
bluegrass string band, including fiddle, mandolin, banjo, guitar, and string bass, was composed in 2007
by Carol Barnett, former Composer-in-Residence for the Dale Warland Singers and current
Professor of Composition at Augsburg College, an ELCA institution in Minneapolis. About the Mass,
which was commissioned for Vocal Essence, a professional twin-cities choir under the direction of
Philip Brunelle, Barnett has written:
“To bring the solemnity of the classical-based Mass together with the down-home sparkle of
bluegrass—now there’s an assignment! My highest hope is that listeners coming from one tradition—classical
or bluegrass—and perhaps dubious about the other, might discover something new and wonderful in the
combination, as I have. Composing the music for The World Beloved . . . brought me back to memories of
music heard while visiting my grandparents: country music with a church flavor that told stories and came out
of a scratchy, old record player. Grandma would not have allowed dancing, but under the table I tapped my
toes.”
No doubt, more than a few people will be tapping their toes under the pews at Saint Paul that
morning! Do plan to worship with us and to invite your friends and relatives to join us as we
celebrate Trinity Sunday with good music, good food, and good fellowship.

Volunteers Needed for Vaccine Research Trial Developing an HIV vaccine remains a critical need in the fight against the spread of HIV. The tools we have
include: safer sex and condom use; tenofovir/FTC tablet taken daily; and “treatment as prevention” (HIV+
persons on meds with undetectable viral load are not infectious). However, a vaccine to prevent infection
continues to be a major scientific challenge.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and immune system response to investigational HIV
vaccines in HIV-negative (uninfected) persons. These assessments will help researchers plan future vaccine studies.
You cannot get infected with HIV (the NIH would never allow such a trial).
This is being conducted at the University of Colorado and compensation is provided to volunteers.
Participation Criteria:
Willing to participate and understand the purpose and procedures of the study
18-50 years of age
HIV-uninfected
In good health
Willing to maintain behavior consistent with low risk HIV exposure
More info: Dana Momeyer 303.724.0801 [email protected]
Beer-pouring Volunteers Needed One of the Ministries St Paul supports is Treatment Educat10n Network (TEN), a local organization providing
educational programs to persons living with HIV. Proceeds from the “beer bust” on Sunday 24 May will benefit
TEN and support their programs. Volunteers are needed from 3:30-8:00 pm at The Wrangler, just a block from St
Paul at 17th & Logan. We walk around with pitchers of beer, filling the cups of patrons. It will mostly take place
outside in the parking lot with beautiful sunny weather and a very large crowd. For more info or to volunteer,
please contact Michael Dorosh 303.777.7208.

ELCA PARTNERS BEGIN LARGE-SCALE EMERGENCY RESPONSE IN NEPAL Members of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) are responding to an April 25 earthquake that
shook Nepal and its capital city, Kathmandu. Sections of the city's historic center lay in rubble, as aftershocks
continue to rock the city valley and neighboring countries.
News reports indicate that more than 1,000 people have died and thousands injured. The death toll is
expected to rise as people are believed to be trapped under rubble. Deaths have been reported in neighboring
Bangladesh, India and Tibet, and the tremor also set off an avalanche on Mount Everest.
As news about the catastrophe continues, ELCA Presiding Bishop Elizabeth A. Eaton is requesting
prayers "for people affected by the earthquake and its aftershocks, especially as they grieve the loss of loved ones
and property.
"Lutheran Disaster Response is committed to long-term disaster response, so our work is just
beginning," said the Rev. Daniel Rift, director for the ELCA World Hunger and Disaster Appeal. "The ELCA will
accompany our brothers and sisters in the Nepal area as they navigate every part of this disaster relief and
recovery process."
The Lutheran World Federation started a large-scale
emergency response based in Kathmandu. Its office there
has escaped the worst impact of the earthquake. The ELCA
is the only U.S. member church of The Lutheran World
Federation.
The ELCA is working in close partnership with the
ACT Alliance to coordinate response efforts – which
includes the distribution of life-saving supplies such as
water, food, shelter and medication for people injured –
along with Lutheran World Relief and other local
organizations.
The Rev. Rafael Malpica Padilla, executive director
of ELCA Global Mission, remains in contact with staff of
Lutheran World Relief. "All but one of their Nepal staff is
accounted for," he said, adding that Lutheran World Relief "will be providing us with daily situation reports as
together we address human need and suffering following a disaster of this magnitude."
According to Chandran Paul Martin, consulting regional representative for South Asia, ELCA Global
Mission, "ELCA partners have been in contact soon after the news flashed. I had a phone conversation with Dr.
Bijaya Bajracharaya, program coordinator for The Lutheran World Federation Nepal, who described the
situation (after midnight, India time). She said people were on the streets in open ground as after-tremors were
felt. We also tried to establish contact with the United Mission in Nepal, one of our partners, for an update."
Communication has been made with the Nepal Evangelical Lutheran Church, a member church of The
Lutheran World Federation, and the Association for Theological Education in Nepal. Information about Lutheran
Disaster Response and this church's response efforts in Nepal are available at http://www.elca.org/en/Our-Work/
Relief-and-Development/Lutheran-Disaster-Response.
