Sanctuary Pew Frontals to be Removed
The Administrative Council unanimously approved the removal of the frontals or modesty rails from the front pews in order to provide better access to the chancel and altar. This also will allow the placement of an acoustic upright piano in the sanctuary which will provide a better instrument for worship. There are upgrades coming to the speaker system for the organ to enhance the congregational singing in praise to God and as a recital instrument. The Administrative Council has graciously accepted a financial gift to honor our organist, Robert Kintner, which will pay for these upgrades. To God Be the Glory! The plan is to consecrate these upgrades next Spring and to honor Bob’s ministry of over a half of a century in church music and education/training.
