Hymn-Fest at St. Paul’s on August 3
focuses on the Reformation
On Thursday evening, August 3, at 7:00 pm there will be a
Hymn-Fest led by renowned musicians David Cherwien and Mark Sedio in
St. Paul’s sanctuary. The title of the festival is The Church’s Song: Always in
Reformation. It is part of a two-day conference for church musicians
throughout the east coast sponsored by Augsburg-Fortress publishers.
The festival will include Reformation-era
hymnody, in honor of the 500th anniversary of the
Reformation. Also to be sung are hymns from later
eras titled “branching out.”
David Cherwien and Mark Sedio, festival
leaders, are well-known in the musical community.
David Cherwien is Cantor of Mt. Olive Lutheran
Church, Minneapolis. He is also the Director of the
National Lutheran Choir. He is renowned as an organ
improviser and composer of choral and organ works,
as well as his appearances as a clinician.
Mark Sedio is Cantor at Central Lutheran
Church, Minneapolis. He is also on the faculty at
Luther Seminary, St. Paul, Minnesota. His special
interests are hymnody, liturgy, children’s and adult
choral music, and multi-cultural music. He has
appeared throughout the U. S. and Europe as a
recitalist, hymnfest leader and clinician.
The event is open to all, and free of charge.
Please join us for this special event.

Pastor’s Letter Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Last year in September and October, around eighty members of St. Paul’s participated in a new
venture together: small group dinners in members’ homes! These were universally enjoyed, both
as an opportunity for fellowship and a chance to discuss planning for the church in a relaxed
setting.
This year, we’re bringing the small group dinners back! By next year, maybe it will officially be a
tradition. In the coming weeks, you will receive an invitation to join in a dinner at someone’s
house. There will be many possible dates from which to choose. The catch is—you don’t who is
hosting which night!
Once we have the responses back, you will hear from your host and find out where you will be
dining. Although this might sound a little intimidating, it was one of attendees’ favorite things from
last year. It allowed everyone to mingle and get to know people they may not talk to at church.
People from different services, different ministry areas, different ages were all mixed up, and new
connections were made.
A lot of the evening is socializing, but there is also time to talk about what is going on at church:
things you’re excited about and wish to see more of, and also things that you think need some
attention or more time devoted to them. In smaller groups like this, it is often easier to share and
to listen to others. It is a great way to kick off our program year and to get important feedback
and suggestions.
Having attended one of the dinners last year, I felt blessed by the ability to make deeper
connections and by the faith and commitment present around the table. When you receive your
invitation to our dinners, I hope that you will prayerfully consider what an opportunity it might be
to attend and how your presence will be a blessing to others.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask me, or our stewardship chair, Carol
Hammarberg.
Hope to see you there!
In Christ,
Pastor Laura
(If you might be interested in hosting one of the dinners, let us know!)

A Heartfelt “Thank you” I wish to thank St. Paul’s for the service and lunch where I was
honored for my twenty years’ service. It really is hard for me to believe I
have already completed 20 years, but I did arrive in the spring of 1997, so I
guess it’s real.
There are too many thankyous to count, but I could start with the
pastors I have been honored to serve under, Wilk Miller, Julie DeWerth,
Skip McDowell and Laura Tancredi. All have been supportive of our
efforts and wonderful colleagues, as have office assistants Betty Lash, Barb
Keyser, Millie Parker and Carisa Cantor. I could even mention Bill
Dougherty, of blessed memory, who took me though countless building
tours during the renovation project, Tom Ward and Dave Curry, who is
always ready to assist in a project.
When I think of our music program, I am fortunate to work with
talented singers in our children’s, youth and adult choirs. I also am aware
that these people could be doing something else on Sundays or Thursday
nights, and, in the case of our younger singers, their parents, so I am doubly
grateful. The same goes for our ringers under the direction of Gordon
Downing, and our other instrumentalists.
A special note of gratitude goes to our section leaders, Jason
Gagliardi, Shafiq Hicks [who conducted the surprise anthem!] Renée
Schulz, and Jessica Lennick, who organized a choir behind my back, even
asking singers from Main Line Reform Temple to join us. They add so
much to our program musically and personally.
Finally I wish to thank my wife Jane, who works harder around St.
Paul’s than I do, and is always showing me the latest piece of music to add
to the Lessons and Carols service.
Thank you, St. Paul’s congregation, for allowing me to minister with
you these past twenty years. May God bless us together in our mutual
endeavor.

Women’s Dinner Has Changed to
Girl’s Dinner in August
When: Wed, August 23 at 6:00 pm
Where: Sam's Brick Oven Pizza,
2626 E County Line Rd, Ardmore, PA
We’ll be upstairs Website: http://www.samsbrickovenpizza.com/menu/
We thought since it was summer, school is out and we were going
to a pizza place, it would be fun if some young girls could join us.
So bring your mom, daughter, aunt, or just yourself and enjoy an
evening out.
We’ll be ordering off the menu, (they have more than pizza, check
out the website) everyone will pay their portion, plus 25% for tip
and tax.
Please RSVP to the church office or Beth McElvenney, so we
can give them an idea how many will be coming.
Looking forward to an end of summer gathering with wonderful
women of all ages!
