Music to Our Ears

If you attended any of our outdoor worship services this summer – or watched online – you may have noticed a unique addition to our musical instrumentation. Our Music Director, Chris Johnson, has pulled out his antique pump organ to provide accompaniment to our worship. He acquired the instrument many years ago and has graciously pulled it out of storage and brought it to Old Bergen to brighten these challenging times. It was originally designed for military chaplains to be able to bring worship services to the field. The organ folds up into what looks like a suitcase trunk with a handle and can be transported to remote outdoor spaces. Thank you, Chris, for sharing your talent and your pump organ with us in worship!
