After a battle with brain cancer that began in the fall of 2024, our beloved Music Director Paul Fejko died on May 5, 2025. Paul served at Gloria Dei as a teenager during the 70's, and has been our primary musician since 1987. He will be deeply missed.
Please join us for a service to celebrate Paul's life, to be followed by a burial in the Gloria Dei church yard and a party in Riverside Hall. The service will begin at 3pm in the church, and will seek to honor Paul's wishes to "keep the religion to a minimum" while also expressing our hope that God's love for Paul extends beyond this life. The party afterward will include opportunities to share memories of Paul, to enjoy food and drink together, and to create your own tie-dye rememberance.
