CHURCH PROJECTS

 

NEW PARISH CENTRE AT AUCKLEY

The opening of the new Parish Centre at Auckley was the culmination of years of hard work. It is a wonderful building which blends beautifully with the old fabric of the Church. A true blend of traditional and modern architecture which has worked wonderfully well.

Although built on Church land, it is not a Church building, but is managed by a group of trustees, some of who are members of the church.

 

 

FINNINGLEY PARISH CHURCH ORGAN - RESTORATION PROJECT

Finningley Parish Church organ is a Brindley & Foster instrument installed in the early 19th century and overhauled in the 1980s. It is a powerful instrument with a pneumatic action and a complicated spring arrangement in the wind chests.

The Parish Church pipe organ was badly in need of renovation and restoration to a fully functioning state, at a total cost of more than £56,000. Once again, thanks to a great deal of hard work has been completed.

 

 

Adopt – A –Pipe!

The organ has lots of pipes of different shapes, sizes, sounds and tones, from the deep, rich bass sound through the gentle flute to the triumphant fanfare. For a donation of only £10 - £20 (depending on the size of the pipe) you can adopt your very own pipe! Simply choose which one you would like to ‘adopt’ and you will receive an Adoption Certificate with the details of your personal pipe!
This is a ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ offer; truly an opportunity not to be missed! Contact the Churchwardens or pick up a form in the church.
