At Christmas we celebrate God’s greatest gift, the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. And because of his birth, death and resurrection, we too have been given gifts with which to honor Christ and serve others. God has brought together the gifts of one of our members in a way that promises both to honor God and bless his people. Clinton Knight has used his artistic love for organ music, his technical knowledge of computers, and his affection and appreciation for his father, the late James Knight, to undertake an amazing project to retrofit a beautiful pipe organ console into a magnificent digital instrument.
The story of this organ has too many incredible facets to be told in a short email. You can learn more about it and follow the detailed progress over the last four years at Clinton’s blog on the project: http://homepage.mac.com/clintonk/iblog/B505170200/index.html. However, you will have the opportunity to see and hear first hand the results of Clinton’s work as the Knights will donate the organ to Ambassador for the new building, in memory of Clinton’s father. The features and sound will give us another amazing musical medium with which to praise our mighty God in song.
If you plan on attending the Knights Christmas drop-in this Saturday afternoon. You will have the benefit of getting a preview of the organ’s ability as Clinton will lead in some Christmas hymns on the instrument, currently housed in his garage. We are very thankful not only for the amazing gift this instrument will be to our church in terms of worship, but also for the wonderful gifts of God’s people to bring glory and honor to Him.
