After 38 years, the two outstanding musical instruments in the chapel the pipe organ and the carillon were in need of extensive renovation. We to date replaced the organ's electrical connections with a new digital system costing $50,000. However, the carillon is still in dire need of repair. Resulting safety and musical problems require that we re-hang and re-tune the bells.

The Foote Charitable Trust has given us a $15,000 grant toward our goal. In addition, more than $35,000 has been pledged from individuals and other foundations. Please join us and other donors in realizing our dream.
