On Monday, September 16th a 53 ft. trailer arrived in front of our church, loaded with the new organ. On the same day, Canon Dumain, Abbè Alex, Chris Petersen and our three candidates spent over 7 hours unloading the truck and bringing each piece inside the church. Since Tuesday the re-assembly of our new and magnificent instru- ment is under way. Two men, hired by Karl Wilhelm, will be helping in the coming weeks to build the organ in our choir loft. In order to protect those parts of the organ, which were temporarily stored in the church from theft, we had to temporarily restrict access to the church. Thank you for your understanding!
