Liturgical Arts Guild
[God] has filled them with skill to do every kind of work done by an artisan or by a designer or by an embroiderer in blue, purple, and crimson yarns, and in fine linen, or by a weaver—by any sort of artisan or skilled designer. Exodus 35:35
Our Liturgical Arts Guild works to create seasonal art installations that inspire wonder and direct the focus to worship, as well as working to foster appreciation for the visual arts in the congregation.
Most often the art installations take the form of objects suspended over the altar, making the connection to the Holy Eucharist.
God is ceaselessly creative and fills people with the gift to co-create with God.
If you’d like to join the Liturgical Arts Guild in creating these displays and fostering arts appreciation at St. Paul’s, contact Jay LaNunziata.

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.
