The Adult Choir, Consort, and Handbell Choir of St. Paul's invite you to a memorial concert, where we celebrate the lives of those we have loved and lost. Powerful instrumentals, moving poetry, and beautiful chorus celebrate living and dying in Christ in this uplifting concert. Every year at this concert, we list the names of those who have passed away since the Celebration of All Saints the year before. If you would like to submit a name to be read aloud, please email it to Donna .



Concert Memorials

A concert memorial is a wonderful way to recognize, through the offering of music, individuals or groups who have made a difference in our lives. If you would like to help sponsor the cost of this concert while honoring or memorializing a person(s), please contact Donna at the email address above.

Do you knit, crochet or sew? The Prayer Shawl Ministry needs your help. We are running low on prayer shawls. As a group, we meet once a month on the last Thursday of the month. This month it will be October 31 from 9:30 to 11:00 in Founder’s Hall . However, you do not need to meet with the group. All that you need to do is make a shawl and bring it to Monna’s office. It can be done any place or any time. There are a few guidelines, so if you are interested, please join us on October 31 or contact me and I can help you with the details. We can even provide yarn and needles if you need them. Thanks for considering this ministry. Jane Muir [email protected] 615-566-8465 (call or text)
