Historic Church Dedicates New Choir Robes

The congregation of St. Paul Missionary Baptist Church dedicated their new choir robes to God during the morning service on Sunday, November 3, 2019.

 

“Today’s dedication service of the choir robes is the first dedication in the 18 years that I have served as pastor at St. Paul. I am excited to conduct this dedication service, we’re dedicating these choir robes. The Lord has blessed us with these robes and other blessings that we know are pleasing to his sight. The Lord has allowed us to be able to get these robes, and we give the Lord all the glory,” explained Rev. James H. Willis, Sr, pastor of St. Paul Missionary Baptist Church.

 

The ceremony occurred immediately following a spirit-filled devotion that included hymnal selections, scripture, and prayer and was led by congregational deacons and deaconess. Rev. Willis led the choir procession.
 

Over 20 choir members filled both aisles of the sanctuary, as they marched towards the alter. The choir colors were selected because the colors align with the congregation. As the choir members reached the alter, they completed a call and response that was led by Willis. It focused on the role of the robes and inspired by Psalms chapters 42 and 46.

 

“The robes are for the St. Paul Missionary Baptist Church choir. We collected donations from each member, and it was a collaborate effort to select the colors and design,” explained Daisy Fisher, choir president.

 

The service continued with interlude, responsive reading, recognition of visitors, congregational hymn, choir selections, and proclamation delivered by Willis. St. Paul Missionary Baptist Church is located at 1502 N Detroit.
