The new system has brought the sound of large Anglican Cathedrals into our Sanctuary. It will also provide a new dimension to our congregational singing, through the 1907 Brindley & Foster organ from St. Anne's Church in Moseley, England. Individual pipes were recorded and are re-combined for authentic organ accompaniments to congregational singing, using digital technology from the Crumhorn Lab in England. Come and hear! Bring a friend!

The first customers appeared in the early twilight, even before the official opening time of 7 AM. Many treasures were hauled off by neighbors and professional rummage assessors. Many thanks for the dedicated volunteers who served enthusiastically until about 1 PM, when the unsold remains were loaded onto a rented Van to take the rest to the Church Army near Farmington, MO. The proceeds of more than $1,600 all went to bolster the Building Fund for an eventual permanent Church home.
