SCENES FROM JANUARY

Attentive listening

BY HANNAH BURNETT, MINISTRY INTERN In Exodus 6:12 it is written, “But Moses said to the Lord, ‘The Israelites haven’t even listened to me. How can I expect Pharaoh to listen to me, especially since I’m not a very good speaker?’ ” (Exodus. 6:12).

I often describe myself as a shy person; someone who initiates few conversations and doesn’t like to speak in front of groups for fear of stumbling over my words or not being an influential speaker. When reflecting upon my growing edges, I am reminded of this verse. God gives Moses the ability to speak to Pharaoh and to communicate his thoughts. God, too, can use me in much the same way.

Though I seek to be someone who can change the lives of others through what I say, I feel much more called to be the person who changes lives by listening attentively and providing helpful words of encouragement. Part of my ministry technique, especially with young people, includes being real, honest, open, and welcoming. There is also a part of young people that just wants to be heard. They may struggle with this at home or school, but the youth in my Bible study have been encouraged to speak their minds at church. They are being listened to while they share their thoughts, ideas, and opinions with the group.

The church faces the challenge of “Consumer Christians” — people that come to church just to “get something out of it.” The church is far from a supermarket; it is a place called to emulate Jesus’ boundarybreaking compassion. This compassion should be threaded throughout all ministries, sermons, lessons, and outreach the church provides. It should also be lived out through the members of the congregation. Part of boundary-breaking compassion is attentive listening. Listening to the other, listening to the stranger, listening to someone with a different opinion. You may be willing to hear someone’s story, but have you really listened? Hearing is through the ears, but listening is through the mind and heart. You must make a conscious decision to listen.

What would it mean if you deliberately chose to listen to someone every day? How would your life be changed? More importantly: what would it feel like to attentively listen to God daily?

1 Kings 19:12 says that Elijah could not hear God through the thunder or the earthquakes, but he heard God through a “gentle whisper” or a “still small voice.” Elijah anxiously anticipated God’s response. He yearned to listen to what God was telling him to do. Will you be there to listen like Elijah? Is your heart prepared for what you may hear? God may say, “No” or “You aren’t ready.” You must prepare yourself to be humble in prayer, have the courage to do what is right, and not to allow selfishness to prevail.

Theologian H. Richard Niebuhr suggests that all relationships should be triadic. God is in our relationships, the third party who helps us trust one another. God longs for human relationships to flourish and bring good within and beyond them. To attentively listen to others, we must first realize the presence of God with us. Through relationship with God and having intentional conversations with others, persons and communities can learn to pursue peace, to share God’s goodness with one another, to change oppressive social structures, and to show compassion for the poor.

We, as Christians, people of God, and human beings, have the power to change someone’s life by listening to them. We have the power to change our own lives by listening to God. When will we begin being agents of change through attentive listening?

FEBRUARY SERMON SERIES

LET YOUR LIFE SPEAK

A new message during February worship services

When do you know your why?

When you know that it impacts everything else. Knowing your why, your purpose, begins with listening.

Parker Palmer's book "Let Your life Speak" addresses this idea. Everyone is invited to read this book and attend worship at St. Paul where we will explore how God guides us to discern our next steps in living well in the world.

Join in for the February Sermon Series, Let Your Life Speak, on February 11, 18, and 25 during all three worship services, 8:30, 9:00, and 11:00am.

“Before you tell your life what you intend to do with it, listen for what it intends to do with you. ...Our deepest calling is to grow into our own authentic selfhood, whether or not it conforms to some image of who we ought to be...True vocation joins self and service, as Frederick Buechner asserts when he defines vocation as ‘the place where your deep gladness meets the world's deep need.’”

- Parker Palmer

Books are available at the Information Center for $10.

coNNECT & LEARN

UNSEEN: A LECTURE SERIES ON THE PROBLEM OF SYSTEMATIC RACISM

Wednesdays, 7:00-8:00pm | Begins February 21

Racism is often defined as large, overt actions. However, systemic racism takes place every day and it largely goes unseen. In an effort to become more aware of the injustices in Louisville, St. Paul will host a 5-part lecture series on the different aspects of racism beginning February 21. This 5-part lecture series will be held on Wednesdays, 7:00-8:00pm, on the first floor of St. Paul Church. Childcare is available.

February 21 - Rev. Joe Phelps | Introduction to Systemic Racism: Rev. Joe Phelps is the Senior Pastor at Highland Baptist Church, as well as a member of EmpowerWest. This first night will set the stage for the conversation, looking at why this topic is important, and what is and is not included in the discussion, all the while looking more deeply at definitions and challenges faced in this discussion.

February 28 - Kumar Rashad | Racism In Education: Kumar Rashad is a JCPS teacher and board member of the Kentucky Education Association. Education is the defining factor in social change. Rashad works to support his students in JCPS. Faced with challenges from both in and out of the system, Rashad is particularly well-equipped to speak to the needs of our youth.

March 7- Joshua Poe | Redlining: Joshua Poe is an Urban Planner in Louisville. Poe will talk about redlining, the practice of denying loans in certain neighborhoods based heavily on socioeconomic and racial makeup, and the history of redlining in Louisville and the United States.

March 14 - Rev. David Snardon | Housing & Community Development: Rev. David Snardon is the pastor of Joshua Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Church, community activist, and the head of the Concerned Pastors of Russell. He’ll discuss the importance of community development and its role in building a better society.

March 21 - Kendall Boyd: Kendall Boyd is the Director of the Louisville Metro Human Relations Commission. The Human Relations Commission seeks to bridge the many ethnic, racial and religious groups in Louisville Metro through a combination of civil law enforcement and education/outreach.

Peggy received a gold oval lapel pin with a cross, and a certificate! A gift for ministries with women, children and youth was forwarded to the United Methodist Women’s National Office.

At their December 12, 2017 meeting, St. Paul UMW honored Genny Scheldorf for her 21 years of leadership. Genny served as co-leader of The Just Women in Mission Group with her daughter Cindy Scheldorf from 1996 to 2005. Genny also served on the St. Paul UMW Leadership Team as District Representative from 2000 to 2005, with Anna Selle serving as Adult Ministry Team Representative beginning in 2004. In 2006, they continued to share district and local responsibilities when their group became the St. Paul UMW, with Genny also serving as Coordinator, or “2/3” President! Pat French is now serving in that role.

The women presented Genny with a framed certificate of appreciation; a sheet cake with the words “Thanks, Genny”; a bouquet of roses and other flowers; a card and a monetary gift.

Members shared stories and memories with Genny of their years together. Rev. Darren and Lori Brandon joined in the celebration.

February Meeting & Book Study St. Paul UMW are participating in the UMW Reading Program. The February selection is First White Frost: Native Americans and United Methodism, by Homer Noley. The history of Methodists’ attempt to evangelize Native Americans is riddled with spectacular failures and dramatic successes. In this account, Homer helps one gain new insights and a richer understanding of Methodist missionary activities with Native Americans from the 1600s.

Everyone is invited to read the book and join the discussion, led by Peggy Heimerdinger on Tuesday, February 13, 10:00am in Room 113.

If you are interested in joining SPAMS, feel free to stop by for the February 8 meeting or call Harriet Harper (262-623-0134) or Michele Hundley (502-741-0593) to share your ideas.

Soup and Sewing | Tuesday, February 27, Noon Everyone is invited to join SPAMs on Tuesday, February 27 at noon, for Soup and Sew. The group will meet in room 100 for a delicious lunch of hot soups provided by The Café. After lunch, help others by assembling activity quilts to provide to those with Alzheimer’s or other cognitive issues. When a person with Alzheimer's uses the quilt it relaxes their mind, exercises hand muscles, and helps focus their attention. These textured quilts include pockets, zippers, buttons, beads, bells, small toys, and more.

Items are being collected for these quilts through February 27. The following items can be dropped off at the Information Center (2nd Floor) • Fabric with interesting designs and textures for sensory/tactile appeal • Trims such as bobbles, braid, rick rack, lace, buttons, large beads, pockets, belt rings, short zippers, • pompoms, ribbons, buttons....all sizes and shapes, empty thread spools, tassels, and fringe.

• Small trinkets that have rings, e.g. bells, hearts, charms Previous sewing experience isn’t necessary to be a part of this day. Sewing machines, sewing scissors, pinking shears, needles and thread if you have them may be brought on the work day. There are plenty of tasks that do not require sewing such as cutting, stringing beads, etc. Lunch will be at noon and the group will work until around 3:00pm. A second day will be scheduled, if needed to complete the project. A signup sheet for lunch will be at the Information Center. The group would love to share the quilts with church members, so please let us know if you would like to have one.

A New Older Adult Ministries Team The Kentucky Conference has recently revitalized the Older Adult Ministries Team with the appointment of Rev. Sue Eaton as its new leader! This team's purpose is to support older adults, defined as adults over the age of 50, and those who work with older adults. The goal of the Kentucky Conference Older Adult Ministries is to provide resources, inspiration, and wisdom for those who have reached this stage of their lives. The Team is working on possible conference-wide workshops, retreats, and even a grandparentsgrandchildren camp. We look forward to working with Rev. Eaton and are excited about the many new opportunities and resources this team will offer.

Thank You to Ray and BJ Fore Thank you Ray and BJ Fore for coordinating the diaper drive for the Maternal Infant Health Outreach Workers program at Henderson Mission and the generous St. Paul members who supported this project.

You can help support this mission further. The Resource Center is looking for people to bring meals for 8 people every Wednesday. The meals can be brought by 10:00am Wednesday morning to room 111 or they can be dropped off in the main kitchen (1st floor) Tuesday night with heating instructions. You are also welcome to serve the meal you make. Sign up to bring a meal at stpaulchurchky.org/resource-center or by calling the church office.
