MUSIC AT ST. PAUL'S
St. Paul's hosts primarily hosts one of three types of services each Sunday: Morning Prayer, Holy Eucharist, Rite I or Holy Eucharist, Rite II.
On those weeks that we celebrate the Holy Eucharist, Rite II or Morning prayer, our music director Matthew Colson plays a series of musical interludes throughout the service that have been specifically chosen to accompany the week's scripture .
During the program year, select Holy Eucharist, Rite II and Morning Prayer services feature performances by one of our dedicated musical groups, the bell choir, the adult choir, or the no-commitment pickup choir.
ADULT CHOIR
The St. Paul's Adult Choir is a volunteer-based collection of voices that sings from September to June at the 10:15 AM service, as well as Ash Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, Easter, Christmas Eve, and special services/events.
Through the years, the Adult Choir was privileged to sing with Elisabeth von Trapp and during Veterans Day
concerts, including with the United States Coast Guard Band.Rehearsals are the 2nd & 4th Thursday of the month at 7:15 PM in the Choir Room on the lower level.
BELL CHOIR
The St. Paul's Bell Choir is a volunteer-based hand bell and chime ringers. The Bell Choir plays during our 10:15 services and rehearses on the 1st & 3rd Thursdays of the month at 7:15pm from September-June. At times, the Bell Choir will also play along with the Adult Choir and instrumentalists as well. All ages are welcome to join us!
PICK-UP CHOIR
We understand that people want a group experience of singing, but don't always have the time to join rehearsals. The Pick-Up Choir is a non-committal chance for this, as we rehearse at 9:30 AM the day of service and sing at the 10:15 AM service. The Pick-Up Choir meets once a month. All ages are welcome!
INSTRUMENTALISTS
We are always welcoming of people to share their talents at St. Paul's. Whether you want to play solo, with accompaniment, or find a piece to play with any of the Choirs, we welcome instrumentalists of all ages to fill our halls with music!
