Our Organ

By Dany Turner

The church organ was built by the Estey Pipe Organ Company of Brattleboro, Vermont in 1925 (Opus 2339). The company was founded in 1852 by Jacob Estey, and at its peak, was one of the world’s largest organ manufacturers. Estey built around 500,000 pump organs between 1846 and 1955. In 1901, Estey Organ Company began making pipe organs, and became one of the largest American pipe organ manufacturers. They built and sold more than 3,200 pipe organs across the U.S. and abroad. The company closed in 1960. The Estey Organ Museum was founded in 2002 and opened at the old manufacturing site in Brattleboro, Vermont. Their website is www.esteyorganmuseum.org .

The organ console has two manuals with approximately 731 pipes in 12 ranks, made of wood and metal. The ranks (voices) are:

GREAT (unenclosed) Diapason 8
Melodia 8
Dulciana 8
Flute 4
SWELL (expressive) Stopped Diapason 8 Aeoline 8
Salicional 8Voix Celeste 8 Harmonic Flute 4 Oboe 8
PEDAL
Lieblich Gedeckt 16 Bourdon 16

In 2004, the organ was rebuilt and the console was converted to solid state by Victorine’s Pipe Organ Service, LLC. In 2017, two ranks of pipes were re-leathered (Flute 4 in the Great and the Stopped Diapason 8 in the Swell) also by Victorine.

2022 Annual Meeting

By Dany Turner

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfW2Wx3Z8kM

One infinite God, good, unifies men and nations; constitutes the brotherhood of man; ends wars; fulfils the Scripture, “Love thy neighbor as thyself;” annihilates pagan and Christian idolatry, — whatever is wrong in social, civil, criminal, political, and religious codes; equalizes the sexes; annuls the curse on man, and leaves nothing that can sin, suffer, be punished or destroyed.

— Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 340

The Gift Of Christian Healing

By Dany Turner

Christian healing in Roanoke, VirginiaDiscover the healing power of Christ.

On Monday, December 7, 2015 at 7:00 pm the church hosted a talk by Evan Mehlenbacher, CSB as the featured speaker on the topic, “The Gift Of Christian Healing” in Roanoke, Virginia

Christmas celebrates the birthday of Jesus Christ, but it also marks the birth of Christian healing, Mehlenbacher points out.  He explained in this talk that the gift of Christian healing Jesus shared with the world is still with us, and can be practiced today.

Shortly after graduating from Stanford, Evan went into the full-time ministry of healing others through prayer.  He has written dozens of published articles and lectured on the subject of prayer-based healing for more than 20 years.

Mehlenbacher is a member of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship. He travels from his home in Richland, Washington, USA. You can learn about Evan at his website http://spiritview.net/ 

Enjoy this video from one of his recent presentations.
