The Chancel Choir is a welcoming group of adults who practice weekly and sing a monthly anthem, usually at both Family and Traditional Services.  Rehearsals are held on Sundays at 7:00 pm. They also sing for additional services during the year, including Maundy Thursday, Christmas Eve and occasional Evensong. Participating in the choir is a wonderful way to develop singing skills, to express your faith, and to develop long lasting friendships.

St. Paul’s has one of the area’s only children’s choirs, with choristers ranging in age from third to eighth grade, singing at the 9:15 Family Service.   They also provide music for the 7:30 Christmas Eve service.  Rehearsals are 7-7:30pm on Wednesdays.

 

Our youngest members, age preschool through 1st grade, begin each Sunday in Children’s Chapel during the 9:15 service. Time is set aside during Children’s Chapel for the children to sing, dance and move. One Sunday of the month we ask our young members to share these songs during the offertory. The children enjoy the opportunity to sing interactive songs to God’s glory, as much as the congregation enjoys hearing them.

 

Prayer in movement is a wonderful way to express the presence of the Holy Spirit. Our Liturgical Dancers range in age from 4 to 18. Past dance experience is not required, and both boys and girls are welcome. St. Paul’s members Jan Cline and Stephanie Mattoni-Swerlein work with the children for special services such as Advent, Christmas, Palm Sunday, Easter and Confirmation in this unique expression of faith and prayer through music and dance.

 

We encourage our musically talented parishioners to share their gifts to the glory of God and with the congregation, through instrumental and vocal performances during Sunday worship, as well as for other special occasions and services. Children and older students are especially valued, as we follow and encourage their musical development.
