Our Sanctuary is blessed with four fine keyboard instruments for enhancing the worship of God. The J. Nedra Schilling Organ/Orgues Létourneau Opus 136 of four manuals and 83 ranks (installed in 2021) inspires and leads worship from an advantageous position in the choir loft at the rear of the worship space.
The Dedication: On February 25-27, 2022, we named our beautiful organ for J. Nedra Schilling (1915 – 2005). J. Nedra Schilling was an active member of Market Square Presbyterian Church throughout her adult years. She was a leader and a servant, one who embodied enthusiasm, vitality, and purpose in her embrace of life and faith. For more than fifty years she was a devoted member of the adult choir, and her seat in the choir loft was her place of worship throughout her nearly 60 years at the church. She was a tireless supporter of MSPC and its missions, including the missions of worship and music.
Also in the room are a restored Steinway concert grand piano, a Hubbard single-manual harpsichord, and a Vági portative organ from Hungary. Other instruments used in worship are three-octave sets of both Schmulmerich and Malmark English handbells, and a three-octave set of Malmark hand-chimes, as well as an assortment of rhythm instruments.
