                “I’m beyond thrilled and blessed to have thisincredible instrument to play each and every Sunday and throughout the week,”said Karen Prasser, Music Director of over 12 years. “Michaele Repak was veryactive in the church and played in the bell choir. Terry surprised me with thegrand piano (and I mean that in every sense of the word). The piano was therein the Sanctuary when I arrived for a rehearsal a couple of weeks ago. Icouldn’t believe my eyes! And he was there in a Steinway T-Shirt to takepictures of my reaction!” 

                To celebrate the occasion, Pastor Jonathan Torresonwill do the official dedication followed by a concert that will include some ofNortheast Ohio’s best performers.
