UPDATE APRIL 2024
Organ letter
On June 6, 2021 Zion members approved a renovation plan to make the much needed repairs and improvements to our pipe organ. This plan was prepared by J.F. Nordlie Company of Sioux Falls who has provided routine maintenance for many years and is well acquainted with the current condition of our instrument. Their quote for the project is $250,000, but no work can or will begin until $50,000, or 20% of the cost, has been raised and paid as a first installment, and we have received pledges to cover the balance. If you have questions about the scope of this project, we encourage you to watch a brief video prepared by Nordlie that fully explains what they are proposing. It can be found below.
Although this is a daunting project, it provides us with the opportunity to assure a quality organ will be available for future generations to enjoy during worship, weddings, and/or celebrations of life. We’ve supported other high-cost projects, worked together to raise funds, and successfully completed the work. Let’s come together again, embrace the organ’s needs, and return it to its glory.
