New Organ Moves to the New Sanctuary - Since arriving from Atlanta on January 10, 2000 the new to us organ had been in storage. On July 10, 2000 a group of parishioners and friends loaded up the organ and then delivered and unloaded it in our new Sanctuary. Additional pictures of the hard working crew can be seen by clicking here. 

Old Organ is Bound for a New Home -
On January 19, 2000 our old tracker
organ which had served us faithfully for several years was disassembled and taken away to its new home. The picture at the right will remind older parishioners of how the sanctuary looked before the purchase of the tracker organ. Sunday, January 16, 2000 was the last time the organ was used for services. Organist Karyn Pfluger gave it one last glorious workout playing "Canon in D" by Pachelbel as the prelude to the service, many hymns that demonstrated the best qualities of the organ and concluding with Widors "Toccata from Symphony No. 5" as the postlude. While the tracker organ will be missed, we look forward to hearing the first notes from the new, larger organ to be installed after the new sanctuary is completed.
