A Musical Memorial Gift to Liberty UMC
It is my honor to announce that the Liberty United Methodist Church has been given a carillon in loving memory of John Sprugel by the Sprugel family and many dear friends. This carillon is a Maas-Rowe Digital Amplified Bell and Carillon, which is a fully automatic system providing traditional Swinging Bells, Pealing Bells, and Tolling Bells as well as Westminster Chimes and Hour Strikes.
This instrument creates its distinctly beautiful bell sounds live at the moment they are heard by striking hand- tuned miniature bells with electric clappers. It can also play Compact Disks of digitally recorded carillons with hundreds of hymns and songs. The speakers for this system will be situated above the narthex and will provide our church family and the community with the striking of the hour and hymns that can be played at various times.
This is a beautiful gift from family and friends that speaks of John’s love of God and his desire to let the community know of God’s majesty. This instrument allows for his passion to continue for many years to come. It is an instrument which can be easily moved to our new church site.
The Sprugel family would like to invite you to a dedication of this instrument on Sunday, August 10,at 4:00 pm in the sanctuary. For more information about this instrument, please look at the music bulletin boards in the Lawson Hall area. ~ Bryan Taylor, Director of Music
