In the life of the Episcopal Church, sacraments are “an outward and visible sign of an invisible and spiritual grace.” They help us to mark and celebrate what God has already done for us, and how God is working in our lives. Oftentimes, sacraments also help us mark pivotal moments in life, like birth, marriage, and death.
Everyone is welcome into the life of the sacraments in this church. At St. Paul’s, everyone is invited to receive communion regardless of age, faith background or life circumstance. We invite anyone who desires a deeper relationship with God through Jesus Christ to be baptized. We believe that marriage is a calling open to all people, regardless of sexual orientation. The sacraments are a sign of God’s unconditional love for you.
During worship, many people perform unique and specific roles. The deacon reads the Gospel and prepares the table. The priests preach and celebrate.
Yet there are many lay individuals whose ministries add to the richness and glory of our worship. Everyone interested in joining one of these ministries can speak with a member of the clergy or someone involved in the ministry.
From participating in traditional choir and contemporary ensemble, to listening to and enjoying performances — music is central to life at St. Paul’s.
Since 2022, St. Paul’s Music Ministry provides ongoing financial support for and distinction to our Choral Scholars program to enhance the musical elements and experience of worship for our congregation.
The Chancel Choir sings at the 10:45 liturgy and specializes in singing the great hymns and historic music of the Church. Supported by our magnificent Schantz pipe organ, 1998, and other instruments, this choir of college-age and adult singers offers wonderful choral anthems, solos, and descants, and leads our singing of Psalms and chant. We rehearse Thursdays during the program year from 7:30 until 8:45 PM and again on Sunday morning at 9:45 AM. Music reading ability and choral singing experience are a plus but not a requirement. Chancel Choir is a great source of fellowship, musicianship, and spirituality — please join us! Please contact Choirmaster and Organist Dr. Douglas-Jayd Burn at [email protected] or call at (412)531-7153 x 16.
Our worship band leads us at the 8:45am service, and at other combined worship services throughout the year. The ensemble includes piano, guitar, bass and other instruments. Both teens and adults participate in this musical ensemble. They rehearse Sundays before church. Contact Bob at [email protected] if you’re interested in joining the fun!
