A Grand Return

Tim Degen • December 16, 2024

Experience the full sound of our newly refurbished organ at the Dedication Recital & Hymn Festival.

Our hymns have the words to move us, to transcend time, and to bring people together. At the beginning of next year, we invite you to experience something truly special—a grand event that marks the return of our newly refurbished organ. After many months of restoration, this magnificent instrument is ready to fill our space with its rich, resonant sound once again. And what better way to celebrate its revival than with an unforgettable festival recital that promises to inspire and elevate the soul? 


So what makes THIS recital special? This festival recital will showcase the full range of the organ's powerful and delicate sounds. You'll hear everything from majestic, soaring melodies to intricate, intimate passages that will stir your heart. Our talented organist, Tim Degen, will lead you through a program that celebrates the organ’s versatility—featuring both timeless hymns and modern compositions that demonstrate the organ’s enduring beauty and power.


Are you someone who desires to be in the balcony during this performance instead of the audience? We're looking for CLHS choir alumni, St. Peter's Jr. Choir alumni, those who love to sing in their car, shower singers! Rehearsals for our special choir will begin next Monday. Mark these dates on your calendar so you can participate at another level!

  • Monday, December 23rd 6-7 pm
  • Monday, December 30th 6-7 pm
  • Wednesday, January 8th 6:30-8 pm
  • Saturday, January 11th 9-11 am


However you participate, join us Sunday, January 12th at 3:00 pm for this unforgettable celebration of music & history in our church community with a full choir, full brass ensemble, a full church and full organ. Don’t miss the chance to witness the return of our newly refurbished organ and experience a performance that will resonate with you long after the final note fades. We can’t wait to share this extraordinary moment with you—mark your calendar and be part of this truly special performance!
