Excerpt from the Litany of Dedication
We praise You, O God.  We dedicate this organ to those Christians of past years who lifted their hearts in song, who received a faith which could help them to sing, and who passed their legacy of Christian dedication to those of us who have followed after.


This organ is to serve present and future generations.  To summon God's people to the hour of worship, and to sound to those living apart from Christ the invitation to receive His all-encompassing love.  To stir our hearts to seek higher levels of daily living; to offer fellowship to lives which are not in harmony with god; to more fully interpret God's will and purpose.
