We are very sad to share the news of Anne’s passing. Anne was a dedicated member of our congregation, a person who truly embodied the servant-leadership of Christ. Her funeral will be at Christ Church Deer Park on Friday, February 16th at 2:30pm, and it will also be livestreamed (please click here to watch the livestream). The order of service can be viewed here.
Anne’s obituary can be found online here.
Our magnificent three manual, tracker-action organ was installed in the chancel of the church in the spring of 1982 and dedicated to the Glory of God and in memory of those who died in the First World War and the Second World War.
The organ, built by the Karl Wilhelm Company of Mont St. Hilaire, Quebec, has a classical continental design. The case is made of white oak and the pipe shades are of carved butternut. Voiced in the classic French style, its 36 stops and 50 ranks are capable of interpreting a wide variety of organ literature.
Installation required considerable changes to the chancel including moving the altar forward and arranging choir seating to either side. These renovations prompted the design and production of our award-winning Benedicite Kneelers, done in needlepoint by a dedicated group of church members.
