The sanctuary has a 9ft. Steinway concert grand piano and a pipe organ. The organ was rebuilt by Charles Hendrickson, organbuilder in St. Peter. It contains parts of the organ from our previous church which were not damaged in the tornado and was enlarged in order for the sound to fill the larger space. It is a 3 manual, 40 rank organ. It was dedicated on September 30, 2001 with an organ recital by James Biery, organist at the St. Paul Cathedral. |
