A new member of First Church has just arrived and been set up in its new home!  It is with thanks, great appreciation, and joy that we announce installation  in the sanctuary, to the left of the altar, of a lovely mahogany  baby grand piano, the wonderful gift of Dr. Robert Giebisch and his sister, Christine Giebisch Mohrer.  This beautiful instrument, given in loving memory of the late Dr. Gerhard Giebisch and his wife, Ilse, joins our current upright in color, tone, and anticipation of many happy performances.  It can accompany  the choir, shine on its own, or with the concert upright enjoy duos together.  The words from everyone as it was put into place were:  it looks as though it was made for the spot!   Faye Chen, Choir Director and Handbell Leader, along with Nenad Ivovic, Director of Instrumental Music, are already both looking forward with much anticipation to the important role this grand piano will have in our exceptional music ministry.  It will be tuned in August, thus allowing it time to become acclimated to the sanctuary.  All we need is for the Covid-19 pandemic to calm down and permit us all again  a chance to perform, to listen, and to sing. –A happy message from the Board of Music:  Sue Stoddard Chair, Skip Borgerson, Faye Chen, Ethel Crosby, Constance Cryer Ecklund, Betty Fearon, and Joan Rifkin.
