Wedding Guild
Wedding Guild volunteers assist the engaged couple during wedding planning through the rehearsal and the wedding. The guild member acting as coordinator meets with the bride and/or groom to discuss the plans for the wedding and to ensure that they understand St. Paul’s wedding guidelines. This information is then exchanged among all involved, including altar and flower guilds. In addition, wedding guild members manage the logistics of the rehearsal, organize the bridal party processional and places at the altar, assist the lectors and serve as hosts for the families and guests attending the wedding.

The Rev’d Andrew Cannan
Rector
Andrew appreciates the diversity of the journeys that bring people to find a home at St. Paul’s. He was baptized a Methodist, majored in religious studies at a Baptist university, married a Presbyterian, received a Master of Divinity as a Devil (the blue, basketball-crazed variety), and was ordained in a congregationalist church prior to finding his way as an Episcopal priest. “I was drawn to this strange Church that accepted the messiness of life and embraced it with grace and dignity. That sounded like a place where I could learn to live with God. That and I was always wanted to dress like Johny Cash.” In their downtime, Andrew and his wife, Ashley, enjoy East Carolina evenings in the backyard with their sons. On days off, he likely won’t be found fishing a remote section of the Eastern Pamlico that he is reluctant to disclose.
