Dear Friends,

Dedication of the New Organ

On Sunday 13th October, during our Harvest Thanksgiving Weekend, we had a great number of people join with us to give thanks and to dedicate our new Church Organ to the worship of Almighty God.

We were delighted that our Archbishop, John McDowell was with us to dedicate the Organ for us.

In December 2022, the first fundraiser was held, and just before that we set a target of £50,000, £48k for the Organ and £2k for the installation costs. That was a huge challenge for any small church, but with God's blessing we did it in less than two years, thanks to the generosity of many who supported the challenge through various fundraising events and activities.

Our new organ is an Allen Organ, made specifically for our church in Pennsylvania in the USA. It was then shipped over and installed in September. Any Dedication really serves as a marker along the way and is much more about pointing to a future than recording a completed event.

Almost 73 years ago (2nd Sun Advent 1951) the previous organ was purchased and placed here in Mullavilly, with a few additions and alterations along the way. But the time came to upgrade and replace it for the generations to come, to be used at services, weddings, funerals and baptisms and on other special occasions, Thank you all once again for your support in enabling this to happen.

Your Friend and Rector,
Elizabeth
