with praise in your hearts.”

Church embraced the words of St. Paul even as early as 1828 when the
parish was chartered. One of the earliest actions of the vestry in
1830 was to purchase an organ.
As our parish begins its 176th year, the strong musical tradition continues with services of evensong, lessons and carols, recitals, and four choirs for parishioners ages 3 through adult to raise their voices in praise to God. Both Youth and Adult Choirs enjoy hosting visiting choirs as well as traveling to other parishes in this country and in England.
