Highlights of Past Events at St. Paul's
The community of St. Paul's offers many opportunities to learn and grow. Here are highlights of previous events from the current program year:
Luminous Reading with Bishop Bill Swing
Monday, September 18 | 7pm | Church
This workshop will equip readers of all ages—especially lectors and intercessors—to confidently serve in worship with the aid of tried-and-true techniques. Come discover what makes Scripture spring to life! All are warmly invited, whether you are currently a lector or curious about this important Sunday ministry!
Choral Evensong
September 17, 2023
All are invited to the first Choral Evensong of the Fall, on Sunday, September 17. In a candlelit church, pause in delight as the Choir of St. Paul’s leads a 45-minute service of sung evening prayer for the Holy Cross:
Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179) | Caritas abundat
Katie Burk Webb (b. 1990) | Preces and Responses
Melissa Dunphy (b. 1980) | Magnificat & Nunc dimittis
Joanna Forbes L’Estrange (b. 1971) | The Chorister’s Prayer
Sarah MacDonald (b. 1968)| Crux fidelis (Words: Emily Dickinson and Emilia Lanier)
Summer Choir
Sundays, August 6-September 3
All are invited to join in the Summer Choir, Sundays August 6 through September 3. Drop-in to rehearse at 9am and sing with the choir at the 10am Holy Eucharist on those five Sundays - for one, a few, or all Sundays. This is a terrific way to experience singing in the choir at St. Paul’s. The 2023-24 season officially begins after Labor Day, including mid-week choir rehearsals, and the Choir of St. Paul’s returns for the 10am Holy Eucharist on September 10. Email the director, Dr. Susan Jane Matthews, at smatthews@stpaulsburlingame.org to receive summer choir scores and for more information on joining the choir this Fall.
