A CELEBRATION OF MUSIC AT ST. PAUL'S UCC

As June arrives, so does the promise of spring. New flowers burst forth from their bulbs reminding us of those beautiful words and music of "The Hymn of Promise":

There's a song in every silence,

Seeking word and melody;

There's a dawn for every darkness,

Bringing hope to you and me.

From the past will come the future;

What it holds, a mystery,

Unrevealed until its season,

Something God alone can see.

Please join us as we celebrate the strong tradition of music at St. Paul's United Church of Christ and honor the 78th birthday of Julia Lambert through a service of song. The musical celebration will be held on June 3rd during the 11:00 A.M. worship service. A reception will follow in the Fellowship Hall.

"My heart will be blessed with the sound of music and I'll sing once more."
