Music
Music is an integral part of the spiritual, social, and artistic life of St. Paul’s congregation. Opportunities abound for children, youth, and adults to “make a joyful noise” and praise God through the gift of music. Performing groups are available for both vocal and instrumental participation. For more information about joining a music group at St. Paul, contact Marillyn Freeman, organist and Director of Music Ministries, or Eric Ihde, Sanctuary and Bell Choir Director.

Brass, woodwinds, percussion, and string musicians are encouraged to perform. Musicians of all ages combine for fellowship and meaningful expression of their Faith. Special groups include a Middle School orchestra, which performs for the Sunday School Christmas program, and wind and string groups who are used monthly to accompany the “Now the Feast” Communion liturgy.
