Dedicatory Recital and Reception
On Sunday, May 15, 2005, at 3:00 PM, St. John's Lutheran Church, North Queen Street in Maytown, will host a dedicatory recital for its new organ. The all-digital instrument, produced by the Buch-Walker Organ Company of Ephrata, replaces the 1915 Moller pipe organ that the congregation used for 90 years.
The new organ will produce the sound equivalent of 40 ranks of pipes and has many other features that make it a very helpful instrument for the church's worship. Keith Smith, St. John's organist of 30 years, will play the organ and he will be joined by a guest organist.
Following the concert, the parish's Social Ministry Committee will host a fancy light reception in the social hall. All are cordially invited to attend the dedicatory recital and reception. Questions may be addressed to Rev. Robert Lescallette, the pastor of the church, at 426-1643.
