Elizabethtown, PA, USA: Christ Lutheran Church



My card is a straight-on shot of the front (east end) of the sanctuary including a slightly elevated chancel area with organ facade pipes on both sides of a recessed altar area. It's in color. My card is mint, though it has some spots on the reverse. The reverse also includes some information about the church: clergy staff, services and contact information. It's dated 1966. The present chancel area looks very much the same as the card. The church's website has no information about the organ that I could find. Luckily the OHS database includes the details. Moeller Organ opus 7298 was installed in 1946 and includes 3 manuals and pedal with 19 ranks of pipes. Further exploration of the OHS site tells us that the organ was just recently updated with electronic additions. It is indeed a rather small instrument, so augmentation of some type could prove helpful.
