Launceston : organ
[photograph by John Maidment
(29 April 2011)]
This is the second organ to be
installed on our property. The first
was located in Milton Hall, then
the St Johns Square Chapel. It was
a single manual organ of five
stops: Open Diapason, Stopt Diapason, Dulciana, Principal,
FiDeenth, with an octave and a
half of pedals. This instrument
was adver$sed in April 1874 by S.
Joscelyne and the price was quoted as £60. It remained unsold by
February 1875 and its present loca$on is unknown. It is likely to
have been broken up.
Pray for Andy and Wanda as they
seek to build rela$onships and empower the IS community through the
Community Environmental Improvement and Café ministries. Give thanks
for the joy Wanda finds in the running of Café and for the opportuni$es
she has to input spiritually into the
lives of the staff and their families.
Pray for openness from staff as they
hear from Andy and Wanda at their
weekly staff mee$ngs. These have
