Music
Music is a integral part of our worship. The music we share expresses the whole range of human experience and faith, implants the Word deep within us, and challenges us to live lives of gratitude, justice, and grace. Peter Geise is a graduate of the Eastman School of Music. Peter's remarkable skills and warm personality enable him to draw out the gifts and abilities of the choir while he inspires the congregation from the organ bench. |
Organ Dedication
After 12 years of hard work, we were finally able to celebrate the dedication of the organ on November 11, 2018. The organ was formally dedicated during worship in the morning, followed by a concert that afternoon. With a guest choir and a guest organist there was a wide variety of music with something for everyone to enjoy. We also had a wonderful reception afterwards to share and fellowship. It was a special treat to share this afternoon with so many friends, family and guests Thank you to everyone who helped with the organ project in one way or another. The dedication would not have been possible without all of your help. Ultimately, we are grateful to God for His many gifts, which made this project possible. To God alone be Glory! |
