Our Instruments Sanctuary Org an From May through August 2005, a new pipe organ was installed and voiced in the sanctuary by Casavant Frères of St.-Hyacinthe, Québec. This instrument of four manuals and 118 ranks, with 6,288 pipes, is designed to reproduce faithfully the rich, vibrant, and thrilling sounds of 19th-century French organs, especially those of Aristide Cavaillé-Coll. The sanctuary organ is the gift of an anonymous donor in honor of former Senior Minister Dr. Herbert B. Anderson and his wife, Mary Lou S. Anderson. To view the complete specification, click here . Chapel Organ In November 1994, Guilbault-Thérien of St-Hyacinthe, Québec, was commissioned to build a new organ for our chapel of two manuals, 19 stops, and 26 ranks. By May 1996, the organ had been completely assembled, voiced and tuned in the chapel. Its design was influenced by French organs of the 19th century, especially the “orgues de choeur” whose purpose was to accompany choral singing. The chapel organ is the gift of an anonymous parishioner in recognition of Dr. T. Charles Lee and Dr. Clarence Dickinson, former organists and choirmasters of Brick Church.

Children & Youth Jesus said, “Let the little children come unto me, and do not stop them, for it is to such as these that the kingdom of heaven belongs.” – Matthew 19:14 At their baptism, we make promises to our children to “guide and nurture them, by word and deed, by love and prayer, encouraging them to know and follow Christ, and through fellowship, strengthen their family ties to the household of God.” When we make these promises to our children at their baptisms, we commit to raising them in the church, teaching them the stories of Jesus, and showing them God’s love.
