Music Ministry at St. Paul
At St. Paul, we are privileged to have some talented Hand Bell “ringers” who are happy to offer thei
Some have been ringing for many years and hold two in each hand, and others are enjoying the learning experience with friends. We are even happy to include children between the adults. We have 3 octaves of Schulmerich Handbells and 3 Octaves of Schulmerich Handchimes. Handbells, under the direction of Jennifer Rasch, the Music Director, meets on Wednesday evenings at 8:00-8:30 pm during the school year. Most of the year, we meet right after Choir, but during Lent and Advent, we meet right after midweek services.
St. Paul Lutheran Church has a rich history of singing music to the Lord.
We are in the same town with UNT and TWU, both fine music schools, but we also see value in each person’s skill in the body of Christ.
As Martin Luther said
“We can mention only one point (which experience confirms), namely, that next to the Word of God, music deserves the highest praise.
Our Choir and Handbell members get to know each other very well and become a prayer support for each other and have fun together. We start the year off with a half day retreat held at the church, and end it with a party.

During Lent and Advent, we move our rehearsals to Thursday evenings 7:00-8:00. We sing once a month, except in seasons like Advent and Lent when we sing more often. In 2022, 8 or our singers participated in the Lutheran Hymn Festival in Dallas, and we incorporated some of those pieces into our repertoire during the year.
