Hear Our Organ THIS Sunday

Posted on Sep 26, 2015 by admin in Music, News |

FPC’s magnificent pipe organ is back! Its Static Regulator was rebuilt, and it was reinstalled this past week. (See what it took to reinstall it.) Come to church this Sunday and hear our organist Patrice Barnett play “Now Thank We All Our God” by Karg-Elert and “Prelude in G Major” by Bach. You don’t want to miss this debut of our organ with fuller sound. If you love organ music, also be sure to mark your calendar for the upcoming Organ Recital at FPC by Sarah Duffy from the University of Washington on Monday, November 9 at 7:30 pm.

Celebrate the life and service of longtime FPC member Jack Gillam (July 5, 1926-Sept. 14, 2015) on Saturday, Sept. 26 at 11:00 am in Ferguson Chapel, followed by a reception in Middleton Parlor.

Jack was a member of FPC with his wife Nellie since 1979. They were married for 56 years. Jack served on the Pastor Nominating Committee that recruited our current Senior Pastor, and for many years, he faithfully drove seniors to worship in our church on Sunday mornings. He was the face of Christ to many, many people in our community. He truly had a Deacon’s heart.

Jack is survived by his wife Nellie Stray Gillam, son John R. Gillam, and daughter Nellie J. Gillam-Burns. He was a well-loved man who lived his life for his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ; a great husband and dad who is already missed. He proudly served his country during WW2 in the Merchant Marines, and during the Korean War in the Army.
