Notes from our Historical Heritage Commission

The Fourth Saint Paul's Church Building
- After the Great Augusta Fire of 1916, the fourth and current Saint Paul's Church was erected in 1919. It is patterned after the brick building which was burned.
- The corner-stone of this building was laid on September 29, 1916.
- The annual convention of the Diocese of Georgia was held at Saint Paul's Church at which time, on May 7, 1919, the church was consecrated. Four Bishops were present.
- The stone seats around the churchyard are made from the steps to the third Saint Paul's Church.

 The Feast of the Epiphany
The day after the twelfth day of Christmas is the Feast of the Epiphany which begins the season of Epiphany. The day itself is when we celebrate the arrival of the Wise Men from the East who saw a star and followed it to Jesus. At Saint Paul's, we always move it to the Sunday closest to January 6 so the whole community can enjoy it.
Sunday morning's soloists singing the parts of the three kings are brothers who share a unique distinction-all were Head Choristers in the Canterbury Choir. Listed in order of age are Heard Robertson, John Robertson, and George Robertson, sons of Lee and Tom Robertson.
