Many of the copies of both The Hymnal 1982 and the Book of Common Prayer in the pew racks in the Nave and St. Martin’s Chapel are showing their age. The Hymnal 1982 was released in 1986, and, although it is likely that some of these oldest copies have been replaced over the years, that was still almost 40 years ago! The prayer book is a few years older than that. Some of our copies need to be placed into well-deserved retirement.

Here is an opportunity to gift a new hymnal and/or a new prayer book for usage in the church. For every book given, we will place a dedicatory calligraphed nameplate on the inside cover of each copy. You can dedicate as many copies as you like. This is a great chance to memorialize a loved one, express gratitude to someone, or even give “To the glory of God!”

Hymnals and prayer books are available for $30 per copy. Hymnals will be purchased in red to match our existing ones. Likewise, prayer books will be black.

To give and memorialize a hymnal and/or a prayer book, please complete the form below.

Thank you for helping to refresh these well-used resources for common worship!

This giving opportunity is now complete. Please contact St. Paul’s Director of Operations for more giving opportunities.
