VESTRY APPROVES PURCHASE OF NEW ORGAN

Thank you Resurrection!

The Vestry voted this week to proceed with the purchase of a Johannus D-470 Ecclesia organ based on pledges and gifts received to date from parishioners and friends!

Additional contributions are still being accepted. Please use the link below to notify the Treasurer if you would like to make a gift.

The new organ will replace our current 30+ year old Rodgers electronic organ. The instrument was selected by a committee of experts considering value, price, quality and sound. The actual delivery date of the new organ will be determined after the factory schedules production of the instrument.
