Choral Program
St Paul’s Choir is a semi-professional ensemble of singers who provide choral leadership at the 10:30 am Eucharist and other major festivals throughout the academic year. Our repertoire ranges from chant to Renaissance motets, Anglican anthems, gospel and spirituals, and more. The Choir sings three Sundays per month as well as holy days and concerts with orchestra. New members are always welcome, and sight-reading is recommended. Rehearsals are Thursdays, 7:30-9:30 pm 

Youth Choir is composed of children in elementary and middle school. This Choir leads the music at the 10:30 a.m. Sunday Eucharist once a month during the academic year, the 5 pm Christmas Eucharist and the Great Vigil of Easter liturgy. Rehearsals are Sunday mornings at noon.

Summer Choir
is open to all singers during the summer months. We gather at 9:45 for a brief rehearsal and sing at the 10:30 a.m. Eucharist every Sunday during the summer; all are welcome.

Altar Guild
The Altar Guild is responsible for the preparation of the altar for all services in the parish.  This involves taking care of and maintaining the linens, vestments, torches, and all items used during services. Members are scheduled in teams, which serve on a rotating basis.  This ministry is vital to the liturgical life of our parish, and people of all ages are welcome to join us. 

Lectors and Eucharistic Ministers
Our devoted group of Lay Readers and Lectors serve regularly at all services.  Lectors read lessons and the Prayers of the People. Eucharistic Ministers assist in the distribution of the sacrament are licensed by the Bishop.

Acolytes
"Acolyte" comes from a Greek word meaning "attendant" or "helper." Persons of all ages are welcome to assist in this important ministry. The Crucifer carries the cross in processions and assists the Presider in preparing the altar.  The Gospel Bearer carries the Gospel Book in procession and also accepts the alms basin. The Torch Bearers carry the torches.
