Last Call: Have a Chair (or Three) for FREE
Beginning last Sunday, February 3, St. Paul’s is making available to its members some of the old, metal folding chairs it has recently replaced with new, plastic folding chairs.
The great majority of the old chairs, have a thin, tan pad cover on the seat. Some 75 of these, along with a couple that have beige seat covers or no cover at all, are available for your selection in Gardner Hall beginning after the 9:30 am service. Please see Dual Macintyre during coffee hour if you are interested.
If you are not able to attend Sunday’s service and are interested in having one or more of these chairs, please call the Church Office, 508-228-0916, between 8:30 am and 12:30 pm, Monday through Friday, and advise Christine.
Please send suggestions to the Office (office@stpaulschurchnantucket.org) of non-profit groups that may have an interest in the chairs our members do not take.

Illuminarae
Organ Concert – Friday, March 1, 7:00pm
St. Paul’s Director of Music and Organist, Joe Hammer, will present an hour long concert on Friday, March 1 at 7:00pm. The performance will feature compositions by 20th century French composers Camille Saint Saëns, Eugène Gigout and Olivier Messiaen, Belgian composer Joseph Jongen, and American composer Gary Bachlund. The concert will culminate with Olivier Messiaen’s
Apparition de l'église éternelle
(Apparition of the eternal church), with special lighting effects projected throughout the sanctuary – walls, ceiling and floor – illuminating the arc of the composition. Messiaen described the piece by quoting from the hymn
Cœlestis urbs Jerusalem
(Breviary hymn for the office of the dedication of a church): "Scissors, hammer, suffering, and tests, tailoring and polishing the elected persons, living stones of the spiritual edifice." A dessert and coffee reception will follow the concert in Gardner Hall, featuring special and delectable cakes and sweets.
