While Pipe Organ is Restored, Congregation Sings with Support from Rodgers

Installed just before Palm Sunday, a Rodgers Masterpiece organ will serve the congregation at San Francisco's renowned Grace Cathedral during restoration of its historic Aeolian-Skinner pipe organ.



Grace Cathedral is the cathedral church of the Episcopal Diocese of California, the third largest Episcopal cathedral in the United States, and a famously stunning Gothic landmark atop Nob Hill in San Francisco. Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the Dalai Lama, the Reverend Billy Graham, Dr. Jane Goodall and four Archbishops of Canterbury are some of those who have preached from its pulpit. Nearly all recent sitting presidents have attended services there as well as presidents, prime ministers and royalty from all over the world.

Music Plays On for Organist Who Served Ohio Congregation

The congregation of First Christian Church in Tiffin, Ohio was indeed blessed to be served by organist Mabel Smith for more than forty years. Mabel played for hundreds of weddings, funerals and weekly services in her five-decade career as the church organist.



Through the generosity of her estate and the thoughtful selection of a new Rodgers Allegiant 688 organ by the church's organ committee, her legacy can continue for many more years. When Pastor Doug DeVos heard the new organ for the first time, tears of joy literally fell from his cheeks. "It is incredible. No one would believe that there are not any pipes!" exclaimed Reverend DeVos.

Financing Options for Church Organs

To support churches working to manage with fewer resources, Rodgers Instruments Corporation has renewed a special program that helps U.S. churches finance a new organ without having to pay interest.

Under the program that Rodgers created, a church can have a new organ installed right away and use fundraising to meet the monthly payments for terms of 12 or 24 months. Arrangements can be made through participating Rodgers dealers, with financing provided through Key Equipment Finance, a part of Key Bank. Key Bank is a major lender with more than 35 years of experience with business, non-profits and government clients. It has approximately $11 billion in assets under management.

"This program, as well as other longer-term finance programs, offers a cost-saving, convenient solution to churches that need to replace an old instrument or purchase a new one when the funds are not already available," said Rodgers Credit Manager Diane Snyder. "Participating Rodgers dealers can install the organ immediately and give the church time to pay off the cost without incurring the expense of interest payments."
