St. Paul AME Given Worship Renewal Grant
The church is planning workshops, seminars, luncheons, special worship services, and an end of the year worship arts festival.
St. Paul AME Church has received a worship renewal grant from the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship to fund a year-long project in which the Canton church will invigorate its worship through creative arts including dance, mime, step, drama and visual arts. The grant St. Paul received is one of 31 totaling more than $300,000 awarded for 2012 by the CICW to churches, schools and seminaries across North America.
“We are excited about the formative learning and theological reflection centered around worship that this grant will afford us,” said , project director. “We are especially grateful that the project will afford us opportunities to collaborate and fellowship with other churches and the unchurched in our community. It’s going to be a lot of work, but we look forward to a rewarding year that draws us closer to God as we express our adoration to the Lord.”
