MUSIC



Music Ministry

Shout your praises to God, everybody!

Let loose and sing! Strike up the band!

Round up an orchestra to play for God,

Add on a hundred-voice choir,

Feature trumpets and big trombones,

Fill the air with praises to King God.

Let the sea and its fish give a round of applause,

With everything living on earth joining in. Psalm 98 verses 4-7 The Message Bible

 

The purpose of the Music Ministry is to provide music that is of excellent quality for all worship services in order to proclaim the glory of God.

 

The music is selected from an array of styles from all periods of music.

Special attention is given in the worship services to hymns by contemporary writers.

 

The Music Ministry of St. Paul's Church is blessed with ensembles of talented and dedicated musicians. They are led by Rose Ann Ellis-Burgess, Director of Music/Organist.
