Online or In-PersonJoin us this Communion Sunday for worship. Megan Otto preaches a little about her renewal leave time and the journeys we are on in our lives of faith. We’ll also welcome back our Sanctuary Choir from their summer break as they share “All Are Welcome” by Marty Haugen for this week’s choral anthem.
Our Altar Rail Offering this month will go to Habitat for Humanity. University UMC is collaborating to build a house through Habitat for Humanity on September 28. If you’d like to get involved with building, please contact Pastor Earl at pastorearl@uumc.org. |

Sanctuary Organ NewsUUMC is a church that offers a wide array of sacred music as an integral part of our worship experience, supported and enhanced by a quality pipe organ. We have all experienced the power of Dr. Eun Joo Fierro's playing, whether in a stirring prelude or postlude that shakes the sanctuary, or her masterful accompaniment underpinning the heartfelt songs of our choirs and leading our congregational singing.
But you may not realize that our instrument is 54 years old, and its components are past their "shelf life" and are failing. An organ is a system of interlocking components, from keyboard to electrical control system to wind chests to pipes. Our organ consists of 45 ranks, 2,465 pipes arranged in four divisions: Great, Swell, Choir and Pedal. Every component of our instrument is failing; only Dr. Fierro's skills have disguised the organ's problems.
To address these issues, a dedicated group of UUMC members and staff have formed an Organ Task Force, which has spent the past 18 months assessing and researching the condition and maintenance requirements of our organ. They have brought their findings to our Church Council, which has approved their request to begin discussions with interested congregants and others to assess support for a capital campaign to fund an organ rebuilding project. Now the Organ Task Force is ready to add more participants, and to begin conversations to educate the congregation and discern our wishes for the future of our organ. A rebuilt or refurbished organ would ensure that UUMC can continue offering healing and spiritual renewal through sacred music for the next 50 years.
We'll keep you updated on this important process! |
