The Sunday worship services are recorded for church archives, for members who subscribe, and for those who would like a copy of the service. For each service, the church uses a piano/organ unit to accompany its usual choir. In addition, the church occasionally plays host to a full orchestra or guest instrumentalists. Works performed on the church's newly renovated 4-manual Casavant organ heighten the musical experience. To provide an even more enlightening atmosphere for attendees, the church recently called on audio system installers Monte Brothers Sound Systems to completely upgrade its sound system from an analog to a digital network with AV capabilities. Regardless of the musical accompaniment, the new network provides reliable mixing and distribution of sanctuary, choir, and instrument sound. more>>
