Psalm 100 urges us to “Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the lands. Serve the Lord with gladness. Come before His presence with singing.” The Church of the Savior, Newland, was able to sing praise to the Lord on Easter Sunday accompanied by a beautiful new musical instrument—a pipe organ that consists of two manuals, four ranks and 293 pipes. The console is built from red oak that is stained walnut and the case box housing the pipes is walnut with maple trim. The organ builder hand built the wood for the pipe case.
Church of the Savior is a unique fellowship that celebrates both Lutheran and Episcopal liturgy. We are blessed to have Jane and Tom Huber as our musicians. Jane Huber is an expert organist and uses her talent to heighten our worship experience , while Tom accompanies on the piano. Their spirit and talent blesses our congregation each Sunday.
In the future Church of the Savior plans to reach out to the community through musical events to enhance their worship experience. Our spiritual leader and priest/pastor, the Rev. Thomas Rightmyer, believes that our members, “work together to get the Lord’s word done in our part of God’s kingdom.” As a church we are thankful for God’s rich blessings to us and we pray that we will use this new instrument to God’s glory.
