St. Andrew's is blessed to have a magnificent pipe organ installed in 1994. It was designed for St. Andrew's by Walden Moore and Timothy E. Smith and was built by the Southfield Organ Company of Longmeadow, Mass. The two-manual instrument contains nearly 1,000 pipes. Our organ has eighteen ranks distributed over three divisions (Great, Swell, and Pedal.)
You will find a warm, friendly atmosphere awaits you at the choir rehearsals at St. Andrew's. Even if you do not know how to read music, we can teach you to become a music reader and important member of the group. If travel requirements for your job make it impossible for you to come to every rehearsal and service, you are still welcome. Come to a rehearsal and see if you feel comfortable in the setting. You will find much spiritual encouragement and just plain good fun in rehearsals.
We hope to see you in choir!
