Organ project update April 2011

The organ project has continued to make behind the scenes progress over the past year. We have purchased materials for the blower room. The committee has recommended reconfiguring the choir area of the chancel to better accommodate the rebuilt organ and improve the arrangement of the choir.

Don Bartold has agreed to serve as project manager. We have planned several work sessions for February to finish the blower room portion of the project. We want to thank those that have helped with this project, and look forward to continuing to work with the congregation to create a new instrument to lead us in the worship of God.

The Organ Committee comprised of Don Bartold, Carolyn Fleming, Peter Geise, Evie Kirkwood, Scott Layfield and Bob Pfeil is moving right along. Below is listed some of the items we have completed.

• Penetration of the 24 inch Sanctuary brick wall and lintel installation

• Installed blower room wiring

• Reconditioned the blower

• Built the intake boxes for wind system

• Measured and documented the organ pipes

• Ongoing organ design drawings

In the next few weeks we will take the next step in our construction sequence by cutting and assembling the blower room wind lines and re-leathering the Andrews reservoir. It is exciting watching all the pieces come together and we can’t wait for the estimated completion date of sometime in 2013.

A pioneer community church with a contemporary mission.
