Organ Concert
George Hiatt, Helen Greenfield and Jessica Chapman

The Rev Jeffrey Richardson blessed the new Allen Organ with incense and water, assisted by The Rev William "Chip" Holmes, Deacon

O God who didst command by thy servant Moses that trumpets should be sounded at the offering of sacrifices in thy Name; and who didst will that the children of Israel should proclaim the glory of thy name with trumpets and shawms; bless, we beseech thee, this organ now dedicated to thy worship. Grant that thy faithful people who praise thee on earth with spiritual songs, may be made worthy to attain to eternal joy in heaven. Through thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who with thee, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, liveth and reigneth, one God, world without end. Amen

The oldest organ, built sometime in the early 20th century, and used in the Church for years was put on loan to the Town of St. Stephens, and can be seen at their History Room.

The Kimball organ, built sometime in the early 80's was donated through Fox Music to a small church.
