2022-12-12 - From John Lanier: In 2000 the interior of the sanctuary was renovated. The console was moved from a fixed location in the center of the chancel to a movable platform to the side of the chancel. In the 1987 enlargement, a 8' Trompette-en-Chamade was installed, with the pipes placed in a chamber above the chancel ceiling, with tonal egress into the chancel. The original organ installed in 1958 contained 7 blank stops for an Antiphonal division, which was never installed. In 2005, George Miller renovated the console and added MIDI capability. -Jeff Scofield
