On Sunday, October 30, 2022 we celebrated our pipe organ’s 100th birthday!
The organ was built by M. P. Moeller Pipe Organ Company, Hagerstown, MD. The 20th anniversary bulletin notes that the pipe organ was installed in 1922 “by the efforts of Mr. and Mrs. P. C. Wroe and MacDonald Heebner”.
In 2000, the 9 rank instrument was enlarged with Walker digital stops and moved to its present location in the attic (behind the cross above the choir). The prelude was written by a composer living and writing when the instrument was built and installed.
This service of worship on October 30 features:
The organist for the church’s 20th anniversary in 1932 chose Mendelssohn pieces so it seems fitting to include a work by Mendelssohn this morning. The postlude is a homage to the people of this congregation who have lovingly maintained the instrument throughout its 100 years.
Two manuals, nine ranks. Moved and enlarged in 2000. Two manuals, ten ranks, Walker digital stops.
