It was thrilling to hear Paul Hilchen’s report about fulfilling the funds needed for refurbishment of our pipe organ. Now that we have the money we need, the Anderson Organ Works from Utah will be removing the present console and beginning the work of installing the new console and the rest of the organ. We expect that to happen in October of this year.

Funds beyond the requirement will be saved for necessary upkeep for our new organ. Thanks to the congregation of St. Johns for coming together and accomplishing this important task. Our Lutheran hymns and liturgy will continue for a long time to come.

Praise God from whom all blessings flow.
