Our first Carillon Concert, on Tuesday, July 6th, has been cancelled due to severe thunderstorms. We hope to see you next week, Tuesday, July 13th.
MUSIC AT FIRST CHURCH
Music is a wonderful gift from God. Our earliest recorded Hebrew scriptures reveal that music has been central to worship from the beginning. Throughout the Old and New Testaments, we are instructed to “sing a new song to the Lord,” and to “praise God with strings and pipe!” This rich tradition continues around the world and here at First Church.

We are pleased to tell you that our wonderful carillonneur, Tanya Lukyanova, plays the carillon on the first Sunday morning of the month during the year and through the summer. She usually begins around 9:45 am and plays after worship, too. If you would like, you can come to the church and listen from your car and then stay for our summer “drive-in” worship. This is also a nice gesture to the neighborhood.
