Joyfully We Adore Thee – Organ Crawl

Joyfully We Adore Thee Cover

On Sunday, June 2nd , four local Elmhurst churches combined efforts to introduce the community to their unique sanctuary organs. Matthew Hogan (music director and organist at St. Peter’s UCC in Elmhurst) performed on the 1924 Moller Pipe Organ. Richard Stultz (Organist at First United Methodist in Elmhurst) performed on the Rodgers Model 905, 3 manual organ, installed in 1995. Nathaneal D Rahm BSG (Organist-Choirmaster at the Episcopal Church of Our Savior in Elmhurst) performed on the 1960, 2 manual organ installed by Gsbriel Kney & Co. of London, Ontario, Canada. The performances ended at First Congregational UCC, Elmhurst, where Jim Molina (music director/organist) performed on the 1998 Berghaus Pipe/ MIDI Organ. The event was attended by over 80 guests walking from one church to the next as each music director performed and gave a quick lecture on the history and make of their respective organs. A reception was held at First Congregational (the final stop on the “Organ Crawl”). With such a successful turn out we are sure this will soon become an annual event.
