An Invitation to Join the St. Cecilia Guild

Dear Friend of Music,

As Director of Music at St. Peter’s, I invite you to support the rich and inspiring tradition of music in our worship, concerts, and special events by becoming a member of the St. Cecilia Guild, named in honor of the patron saint of music.

The Guild plays an essential role in sustaining the excellence of our program. It supports our Adult Choir and Choral Scholars, the Grace Notes Bell Choir, the growing Choir School of the Eastern Shore, special services like Lessons & Carols, Choral Evensong, and Holy Week liturgies, outreach concerts such as the Hope and Remembrance event with Wicomico Goes Purple, and our annual performance of Handel’s Messiah with professional soloists and orchestra.

This season, Guild support is more important than ever. Looking ahead, we are dreaming big with plans for workshops, community partnerships, instrumental additions to worship, and new opportunities for education and engagement for all ages.

Whether you are a long-time supporter or new to St. Peter’s, we warmly invite you to be part of this ministry.

To join, please click the buttons on the left to download the membership brochure or contribute online. You can also reach me directly at laumaa@stpeterschurch.net with any questions or ideas.

Thank you for helping us make beautiful music—together.

With gratitude,
Lauma Akmene, M.Mus.
Director of Music and Organist
St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, Salisbury, MD
