Pipe Organ Facade Pipes
Our Pipe Organ
Over the years, the congregation at Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church has gathered every Sunday morning to hear numerous organists share their ministry on the pipe organ. Prior to the current pipe organ, Christ Lutheran Church had an organ and an organist. On September 12, 1937, Mrs. Emma Adams Grebinger completed fifty years as Church Organist and a celebration was held in her honor. The first pipe organ was dedicated January 8, 1905 at a cost of $1,835.00. It was replaced on November 24, 1926, when the present pipe organ and chimes were purchased. In 1952, it became necessary to rebuild the Church pipe organ. Again in 1964, the Church pipe organ had to be rebuilt. It was re-dedicated on April 6th, and a recital was given by the late Reginald Lunt, a well-known Lancaster organist.
The Senior Choir
This small, but dedicated, group of church members sings each Sunday and for festival and special services. The choir is led by our Organist and Choir Director Barbara Rule. The Senior Choir practices on Wednesday evenings. All are welcome!
