As
of the first of February, $59,000 of the $89,000 has been raised
for the organ through generous donations, the sponsorship of stops,
keys and pedals, a successful house tour, and a wonderful benefit
concert by the Goshen Suzuki Strings.
An additional $18,500 could
be raised through the continued sponsorship of the 9 stops, 146
keys, and 23 pedals which are still available. An often used
saying, "
many hands make light work" said another way applies here
-
"many
small donations make for large sums".
($8.00 per week given by
100 people for 12 weeks would equal $9,600)
As Pastor Sheryl
has said many times, "With St. John's working together as
one body in Christ, much can be accomplished."

WHAT
IS AN ALLEN RENAISSANCE QUATUM CONSOLE ORGAN?
Why are we so excited about this new organ? The Allen Renaissance Quantum Console
Organ is a three manual, fifty-stop instrument which will provide us with the
most realistic pipe organ sound available in a non-pipe organ. This digital computer
church organ will provide the sounds of pipe organs used the world over. Its
Quad Suite Voicing provides the versatility of four separate and distinct organ
sounds—the American Classic, English Cathedral, Neo-Baroque and French
Romantic. In addition, the Allen Company has developed a fifth voicing sound,
the Orchestral, which includes sounds of strings, piano, brass, woodwinds and
percussion. The Allen Company uses a process called Acoustic Portrait, a science
of sampling. This process measures the acoustic properties of a room and stores
these properties in its computer. This technology then reproduces the true acoustic
response of the room where it is –be it an intimate room or a cavernous
cathedral. This organ will not only enhance worship in the current Worship Center,
but will also serve us well in our future sanctuary. |
