Phoenix Organ Installation Diary at Streetsville United

At a special congregational meeting held December 15, 2002 the congregation of Streetsville United Church approved the purchase and installation of a Phoenix PD-351 Digital Organ to replace its current Keates Pipe Organ with some components dating back to 1920. This diary will attempt to log the progress of the organ's construction and installation during the spring of 2003.

Mother's Day 2003

A Mother's Day tradition continued with a service that included baptisms. Due to Robin's absence, John Shillingberg was designated organist and used this opportunity to demonstrate some of the versatility of the organ. He brought the organ into the last couple of choruses as the Boomer Band led singing; for Diane Vandeberg's solo, he employed the antiphonal speakers for the first time. Hymns were enthusiastically sung; following the service, John's organ postlude, J. Keeble's Praise to the Lord, presented another opportunity to demonstrate both the power and versatility of this organ.

Organ Dedication Sunday will be in two weeks: Sunday, May 25, at which time we expect to be able to personally express our gratitude to members of the Tolton family as well as acknowledge the efforts of all those who have contributed to this successful installation.
