We love the baby grand piano that Christ Church, Chatham, so generously donated to us this month. It's beautiful!
It debuted at the Lessons and Carols service earlier in December, and wowed the congregation again on Christmas Eve.
Stop in any Sunday morning or for any of our concerts (Feb 15, June 20, Dec 6, 2014) to hear for yourself how perfectly its sound fills the sanctuary!
Pictured are the Rev'd John Maroney and church organist, Shirley Sewell.

On June 26, 1994, the Florence United Church congregation disbanded. Its piano went to St Matthew's Anglican, Florence, that summer. It has been played haltingly by tiny beginners and beautifully by talented professionals. It has accompanied Sunday School classes, wedding and funeral singers, congregations and choirs. When it became time to let it go, it was handled gently by these nice movers. It sits here in its penultimate resting place. Pictures to come of the gorgeous baby grand given us by Christ Church, Chatham, for which we are truly grateful, but for now we will remember this pretty little workhorse that has been part of so many momentous events in our village.
