Proposed Refurbished Organ

ZION CHURCH ORGAN RESTORATION
Pulling Out All The Stops

SATURDAY March 13, 2010 from 2:30 to 4:30pm

Zion presents a video presentation, "Pulling Out All The Stops" that celebrates the pipe organ and describes the organ building process. Light refreshments will be served. After the video presentation, John Heizer will conduct a tour in the gallery for interested members to see and hear firsthand the existing organ problems.

The Zion organ is a majestic instument with a capacity for great variations of sound and emotion. Yet the process by which air is moved through pipes to produce sound is a mystery to most of us. This is an opportunity to learn about the inner workings of the pipe organ and the craftsmanship required to build such a remarkable instrument. Moreover, it will provide us with an up-close view of the many problems currently existing with Zion's organ and the critical need for it's restoration.

Please join us for an interesting afternoon in support of Zion's organ restoration project. We are looking forward to your attendence and your support of this important undertaking.

If you plan to attend, please RSVP to the church.

CELEBRATE 35 YEARS OF DEDICATED SERVICE TO WORSHIP AND MUSIC AT ZION CHURCH  

As we rejoice in our musical praise to the Lord at Zion, we are grateful to our Music Director, John Heizer, for his dedication to the fine music in worship that we treasure so much.  This year marks John’s anniversary of 35 years at Zion Church as organist and choir director.  We extend our gratitude and appreciation to John for his loyal service!  As our organist, John has played and devotedly cared for Zion’s ailing organ longer than any of his predecessors.  Many of you are aware that Zion’s organ, after 50 years of service, is in need of costly restoration.  What a wonderful tribute it would be to commemorate John’s 35th anniversary by making a contribution to the Zion Organ Fund!  It is our hope that the Zion tradition of great music will continue through your financial support.
