      Hi Elizabeth,

      Here is the information that was in the Bulletin on 8/8:

      Chancel Organ Dedication
      Leader: Eternal God, our praises join with the songs of heavenly choirs and the music of the universe. May our chancel organ encourage our songs, that we might sing our praise and glorify your name.
      All: We praise you, O God, with trumpet sound; we praise you with strings and pipes!

      Here’s the information that was in the TWAM:
      Have you ever noticed the pipes on the south wall of our chancel? Behind those pipes is
      an entire self contained organ, originally installed during the late 1950s. This past year,
      builders Morel & Associates refurbished, expanded and rebuilt our chancel organ,
      turning it into a truly beautiful sounding instrument…and it is now ready to make its
      worship debut! Join us next Sunday, August 8th worship services to hear the new
      chancel organ and be part of its recommissioning.

      Is this what you’re looking for?

      Thanks,
      Christine
