Music touches us in ways we cannot completely understand, and it gives voice to things which are otherwise inexpressible. The music ministry at St. Paul’s enhances worship by drawing the entire community together in prayer, praise, and lament through song. If you sing or play an instrument, St. Paul’s has a place for you.

Children’s Choirs:

The children’s music ministry at St. Paul’s is wide and diverse and consists of two groups:

The Cherub Choir is for children in Kindergarten through grade 3 and meets on Wednesdays from 5:15 until 5:55. (Supper follows at 6 for all families a minimal fee.) In addition discovering what it means to be a musical leader in worship, Cherubs learn what the building blocks of music are through age-appropriate games and exercises, large motor coordination utilizing dance and other forms of movement, and about the flow of liturgy and the progression of the liturgical year. St. Paul’s also has a large collection of Orff instruments which afford the children another dimension in making music

The Chorister Choir is for children in grades 4 – 8, and they meet on Sundays after worship from 11:20 until approximately noon. This group participates in worship leadership four times each academic year on the second Sunday of the months of October, November, February and March. They alternate between singing and handbell ringing each month.

Adult Music Program

The Chancel Choir is for adults and young people, grade nine to 99. The choir sings each Sunday from Rally Day to Memorial Day. They sing a variety of music from classics of the early church to music of the World Church to modern hymns and spiritual songs. Rehearsals are held each Wednesday at 6:15 p.m. The choir cares for each other and faithfully attends to their role in music leadership through the singing of hymns, anthems, psalms and liturgical responses. The only requirement is a love for making music for God’s people and openness to having a good time on the journey. One of the highlights of the choir’s year is the presentation of Lessons and Carols during the Advent and Christmas season.               .

HandBell Choir

The Handbell choir is a group of faithful folks who rehearse every Wednesday at 7:30 they provide music during festival worship and at other times during the school yeah. Some music reading ability is helpful but not required. For more information, contact Tom Hamilton, Director of Music.

Brass Choir

​ The Brass Choir adds a sense of wonder and beauty to the song of the people of St. Paul’s. They rehearse on three Sundays before they are going to play for worship. So far, we’ve always had enough personnel to play with a full quartet, and more are always welcome. Open to people who are high school and older.

​Soloists and instrumentalists are also welcome!  There’s a place for you in the music ministry at St. Paul’s! Contact Tom Hamilton or 218-724-3535.
