Summer Hymn Sing
Back by popular demand we will be having the summer hymn sing before Sunday morning worship services for four Sundays starting Aug. 8 and ending Aug. 29. It will begin in the sanctuary at 9:50 a.m. and will take the place of the prelude, ending at 10:00 a.m. So come a little early to church and have your favorite hymns in mind!

About Our Organ
We dedicated our newly refurbished organ
on October 13, 2002. The Reuter Organ Company of Lawrence, Kansas, did
the reconstruction of the organ Opus 2211, working with Clymer Vidlak
Architects to enhance the chancel. The carvings on the console and organ
bench were lifted from previous chancel furnishings. The reconstructed
instrument features 3,446 pipes, including about 60 percent of the pipework
from the previous Aeolian-Skinner organ. The new organ console can be
rolled to any location in the upper chancel. To visit the Reuter Organ
