If we start practicing for Lent now, there’s hope ...

We need to get one of the trumpet ranks fixed as well as the grate shutters. Ever try to sing with an organ that has two volumes - really soft and really loud? Midnight Mass was interesting.

In my church in Texas, we had an antique electric organ that would flip out sometimes. One Sunday, several 2-foot millipedes ran out the bottom. Fortunately, it was Texas, so half the congregation was wearing boots!

Why doesn’t the church have someone come out from the manufacturer and fix it?

Probably will be expensive.

We just had new batteries put in our organ and it needed some more repairs, but that would have meant the organ having half of itself replaced. They decided not to do it right now. Will ask parishioners on a special wish list for the money.
