It takes visitors to St. Paul several weeks to form a true picture of the musical breadth underlying St. Paul's worship.  From one Sunday to the next, the music selection may be a varied as a Gospel Blues service, a Baroque cantata or a Caribbean Mass.  There are traditional or contemporary services to choose from:  the reality is a blending of styles and renewal.  Music is valued as a means of God's spirit, contributing to a fresh worship experience each week.  St. Paul is richly blessed with resources for music-making: from a 55-rank Skinner pipe organ to digital workstations, with numerous performers of all ages who share their talents to the glory of God.  The sound of worship spans several centuries, sometimes in the same service, giving God's people many expressions of praise.
