Who We Are

Jazz Lunches 2012

Each spring, St. Paul’s in partnership with the Richmond Jazz Society hosts Jazz Lunches to celebrate God's ongoing creation through the experience of music. Richmond-area jazz artists perform and lunch is catered by locally-owned restaurants. Volunteers serve on the Jazz Lunch committee, and help with set-up, service, and cleanup.

We are pleased to announce that our 2012 schedule features a host of well-known local artists. We have also extended the series by popular demand. The program is every Wednesday at noon, April 18 - June 20.
